I wear my watch on my right hand & a fitness tracker on my left. I wear the Fitbit Charge HR, which also displays the time. If you don't feel weird about it, you won't worry if others will feel the same.

Nomos, Zenith and the upcoming Tudor in-house doesn't charge tens of thousands extra for being in-house.:D

IMO, if Tudor can produce an in-hse movement with 70hrs PR, free sprung balance, silicon hairspring, etc at a price cheaper than the Rolex Explorer, I would pick it over an ETA any time.

Tudor will always be used as beta testing body for rolex.

I think BB price is still reasonable for a ETA movement watch. The ETA2824 has been modified with a Triovis fine-adjustment regulator and KIF shocks, something you don't see on stock ETA movement.
But I certainly would not pay anything more than $5K for an ETA based watch. :D

Anybody wear a fitness tracker with your wrist watch?
Care to share which model is it and which hand did you wear it on.

I'm thinking to get a fitness tracker, but scare that I will look weird with the wrist watch on. :D

seiko 7s movement also in-house :p

my point is people don't buy watch because of movements.
otherwise they would demand watchmakers to state what % of the watch is in house and what is not (design and materials).

and if they wanted reliability and durability they would buy quartz lol.

its never a rational purchase, watches.

There's a limit to the price u could set on a limited ed. Piece. I don't think there's anyone patriotic enough to pay the exorbitant price on those orients. I think this retails for Ard 500 sgd right?

Well it's the serial number for these two pieces is something like 001 & 050. I am sure avid watch collectors will pay the price
