I have a feeling I might end up getting a metal watch or two soon, but right now the watch I wear everyday is a Garmin fenix 6 Saphhire: https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/64...n/010-02158-10, which I got a couple of months ago because my Garmin Forerunner 235 would occasionally say I ran a mile way the hell faster than I could run one. I like the new watch a lot, as it can do things I wouldn't have thought I'd need but now find indispensable, like Garmin Pay (functioning as a scannable credit card), eliminating the need to take cards with me when I'm doing long runs and want to buy cold beverages.

The reason why I think I might end up with a metal watch is that I've become more fashion conscious lately. I've lost 80 pounds during the pandemic by jogging a lot and eating healthy and so now I like wearing better-fitting clothes and nicer shoes. Some say that the first two things others notice about you are your shoes and your watch. I've been splurging on shoes lately, having bought about 10 pair of Allen Edmonds this past couple of months, mostly on sale, with matching belts. I love my watch, but the black silicone band and black case sorta clash with my outfits somedays. I might just get a metal watchband for the fitness watch or a bracelet, as I do like having the watch paying constant attention to my heart rate and breathing and steps and stairs and such.
If I do get another watch or two, it would probably be mostly for looks and "as jewelry", because I don't think pretty watches would be able to provide the kind of functionality I get from my Garmin....also, reacting to an earlier comment, my Garmin watch is way, way better for tracking my runs and some other things than my smartphone is. I jogged all my adult life and never really wanted a GPS watch until about three years ago. Now, I wouldn't want to be without it.
