Does anyone use two Apple Watches?

Discussion

I’m upgrading from a Series 5 to a Series 10 tomorrow. Looking forward to it but also kind of don’t want to damage the watch and the new braided strap at work.

I’m a mechanic so I work with my hands and my watch is constantly getting banged against suspension arms and engine bays etc a lot of the day. I also get quite dirty at work, not crazy and I wear gloves, but there are always bits of oil and fluids and brake dust. My rubber strap has held up and been quite resistant but I think I will just ruin the new braided strap.

At work, I just use the watch to track my steps and hear notifications as my phone is not on my person at work.

So I’m kind of thinking of just wearing the S10 outside of work, keeping the S5 at work and swapping between the two at the start/end of the day.

Does this sound like a stupid idea? Feels a bit silly to buy a new watch just to not wear it for half the day. But I also would like to keep it looking nice.
