Steve wears four watches with Smartlet. His Apple Watch is also his heart monitor.
Steve is a retired engineer based in California. He has been wearing Smartlet almost exclusively for two months, across four different watches. He has AFib. The Apple Watch stays on his wrist.
Steve is precise about things. He is also precise about what he needs from his wrist. A beautiful watch, yes. But also an Apple Watch, always, because he monitors his heart for atrial fibrillation. Before Smartlet, the solution was inelegant: one watch on each wrist.
"People were like, why do you have two watches on? And I would have to explain it to them. Now I do not have to do that anymore."
Watches worn
Classic watches: Rolex, Tag Heuer Monaco, and two others across a four-watch rotation
Smartwatch: Apple Watch Series 6
Smartlet version: Classic
Steve has been wearing Smartlet almost exclusively for two months. Not occasionally. Almost exclusively. He has four watches set up and ready to rotate.
The only days he wore two separate watches, one on each wrist, were when he specifically wanted to wear a watch that was not yet on a Smartlet band.
in a Tag Heuer store, wearing his Rolex, he turned his wrist over to show a sales assistant the Apple Watch underneath.
"She was like, wow, what is that? Every single person I have talked to about this has been so impressed."
On the question of scratching the Apple Watch, Steve's answer was characteristically measured. He has one small scratch on the crystal. His perspective: "Some people wear their watches on the backside of their wrist anyway. And the worst that could happen is I go to the Apple Store and see if they can change the crystal.If it happens, I will deal with it.
"He also notes that with a higher-end Apple Watch, the sapphire crystal is significantly more scratch-resistant. For now, he is happy with his Series 6.The use case is not purely aesthetic. Steve wears his Apple Watch as a personal alert device and heart monitor for AFib management.
Everything functions correctly from the underside of the wrist. The only adjustment required was switching the watch orientation in settings.
"Other than that, I have absolutely no complaints and I am thoroughly pleased.
"His closing words needed no editing: "If you value having a nice watch on your wrist and you want an Apple Watch at the same time, there is nothing like it."
"Every single person who has seen it has been so impressed. What a great idea."
