Since it first popped up on the scene in 2015, the Apple Watch has been the leading cause of both watch-shaped tanlines on wrists and heated wedding guest attire debates. Is it OK to wear an Apple Watch to a wedding or any other formal event? Or is it just a piece of wearable tech for a certain time and place?
Well, since we’re fully in the swing of summer weddings season — and fall weddings are coming up — it’s time to answer the question.
Can you wear an Apple Watch to a wedding?
Absolutely not.
Why?
For starters, wearable tech looks super tacky and you will end up looking like a Spy Kid.
Second, do you really want your watch to pop off with notifications like texts, phone calls and, for the love of god, closing a fitness ring? No! And it doesn’t matter if you have it on silent; your watch will still light up in pictures and videos and distract surrounding guests. You can just look at your phone later!
What about if I have a leather or chainlink Apple Watch strap?
Nope! It doesn’t matter. Leave the Apple Watch at home.
Fine. What can I wear instead?
If you truly, deeply, absolutely cannot part with the fitness-tracking component of your Apple Watch for an evening, the Oura Ring is a great option. Unlike a bulky high-tech watch, the Oura Ring is a subtle ring. The Oura Ring is a cult-favorite smart ring that uses sensors to track various health metrics, available to view on the company’s Oura app.
It also comes in many styles and metals, like simple black or shiny gold. Pro tip: Buy the style that best matches your jewelry collection so it looks like a ring and not a fitness-tracking device.
