I am an Apple Watch obsessive ring closer. I’ve been able to close every single one of my rings every day for the past three years. In a few weeks, I’ll be part of a wedding party and won’t be able to wear my watch, (I get it). So, for you ladies out there has anyone else ever found themselves in this predicament and if so what did you do? I’m thinking about buying a large elastic band and putting it on my leg instead of my leg, but is that weird?

Sounds like a good opportunity to practice not being obsessive

You are allowed to not wear it for a day. You know you will be moving around that day so that is more important

I say just force yourself to put it away. There are only a couple days of the year where I don’t wear my watch, and I realized I needed to learn to be okay with not seeing all my movement tracked for a few days, especially when I was running around like crazy for an event.

Can you wear it rest of the time and take it off for ceremony/pictures? Assuming bride doesn’t want it on (although that’s pretty nit pickey).

This obsession sounds unhealthy so maybe it’s a good thing. Your not going to be 70 years old and look back at how many rings you closed in your Apple Watch, you will look back on the memories you made in life so just take off the watch and enjoy your friends/family/food. But to be devils advocate I don’t see why you couldn’t wear it. Don’t they make like nice bands? And for photos you could flip the face of the watch to the back of your arm. I don’t wear an Apple Watch, never have never will because I think they are tacky even at a non black tie event lol. But I wouldn’t care if someone else had one on! You do you

You can put it on your ankle if it’s hidden

Why can’t you wear it?

Also, maybe get a black band for your watch. If not, then change the ring setting to 2 hours instead of 14, 2 minutes of exercise instead of 50 minutes or etc so you can close all rings at the start of day or toward end and put your watch away.

I am guessing the bride won't want it on your ankle for pictures either and that seems tackier than wearing it on your wrist at a black tie - have your date wear it if you really can't deal with not closing rings for a day or just practice exposure therapy and leave it at home.....

Just get a fancy band. They have nice, formal ones on Etsy. Maybe one that matches your dress? But would you even be able to close your rings at a wedding anyway?

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
