Apple Watch: To wear or not when you dress up? Does it make you 'look like a Spy Kid'?
Posted by Lynnette Bruni on
Many people buy Apple Watches for their fitness tracking capabilities. Others get them so they can monitor their health or access notifications when they've stepped away from their smartphones.
But when is it actually appropriate to wear one?
Is Apple's smartwatch dressy enough to wear to a job interview? Or is the device relegated for T-shirt and jeans-type days? Should you wear one to a snazzy after-work dinner, or should you just wear it to the gym?
Twitter user @Lias__ sparked off a divisive debate on the topic Saturday by telling her followers that they shouldn't wear an Apple Watch if they're dressed up.
"Please take your Apple Watch off if you are wearing a dress or formal attire. You look like a spy kid," she tweeted. If you didn't know, "Spy Kids" is an action-adventure movie from the early 2000s that follows kid spies who pair prep-school attire with hi-tech wrist-worn wearables.
A few people agreed that smartwatches shouldn't be worn everywhere.
"I know someone who wore their Nike fuel band to THEIR OWN WEDDING," tweeted @Omgitsmarieee. "I literally did an engagement photoshoot for someone and she wore her rose gold Apple Watch Sport and I was like .... ok!" said @Willstrohmeyer.
