Smart watches have infinitely more utility than a luxury watch.
Personally, Just don't see myself reaching for a smart watch if a luxury one is right next to it, which is why I don't own a smart watch, despite the utility that comes with it.

The Apple watch has no style to it. It's a black rectangle on your wrist. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 smartwatch and love it. It's round, I bought a nice anodized black clasp band, and I have so many different faces that I can switch to. I don't like the faces that all of the busy shit, so I just have simple chronomat designs, and simple Roman numeral faces.
I haven't worn my Rolex, Hublot, or any of my other classic luxury watches in over three years.
