>Apple watch is like the definition of dorky looking

Meanwhile my Casio calculator watch: "bonjour"

I was going to write that the only nerdier thing I can think of is wearing a calculator watch - but even that's like nerd fashion and having a rectangular screen strapped to your wrist is just all about utility.

Rectangular watches have been around for over 100 years and have just been regular fashion for much of that time:

If you mistake any of these for an apple watch at less than 100m you need glasses.

There's nothing wrong with rectangular watches - a fat bezel less screen rectangle around your wrist is not the same thing. The pro comes closest to a proper watch look but even that's "inspector gadget" teritory, not fashion accessory.
