If they make a manual wind Apple Watch I suppose it’s possible 😁

You will not likely get a mission critical timepiece that is digital. To much stuff out there if it’s UN shielded.

hence if you define Moonwatch as worn in vacuum on the moon, never an Apple Watch.

How would you get your standing time in space while your wearing an apple watch? That’s what I’d want to know.

With the crew of Inspiration4 all wearing Apple Watches and that mission being the first manned mission to fly higher than the ISS and Hubble - in fact higher than any mission since STS 103 in 1999 (i.e really high, not some low earth orbit flight).

Additionally, SpaceX have been awarded the Artemis mission to land on the moon… does that mean that the next actual moon watch might be an Apple Watch.. and what does that mean for Omega?

Wake me when an Apple watch passes the NASA torture test...

When I was growing up 60's-70's There was only 1st,2nd & 3rd, 1st meant you won, 2nd was the best of the losers, 3rd was you just managed to beat the rest. Taught us if you want the big trophy be prepared to put in the practice, sweat and yes sometimes tears.

C’mon team, don’t be so Facebook-boomer about all this: clearly kids still learn these lessons, which is why elite athletes (who at this point were almost all born after 1990) continue setting records nobody could dream of 50 years ago

Not to dismiss that there aren’t antics worth critiquing, but the “things used to be good” trope is as tired now as it was when people were saying the same thing about your generation 👍
