I swapped my iPhone for an Apple Watch to live in an audio-first future

Is there a non-wristband "mount" for an Apple Watch ?

Which is to say, if I wanted to carry an apple watch in my pocket, and didn't want the sort of lame, and unifinished, aesthetic of bare/empty band connectors ... is there some pendant or medallion or ... something ... that you can attach the watch to that isn't a wristband ?

OH, AND ALSO ...

The op speaks of the necessary iphone that he leaves in his drawer, at home, like a router ... now that we have apple silicon, etc., can I run my "iphone" on a mac mini, in an emulator ? I mean, if you were developing apps, etc., for Apple Watches, or doing Q&A, you wouldn't have 50 iphones somewhere, right ? RIGHT ?

Was thinking the same, I'd love to carry my apple watch around like a fancy pocket watch on a chain! Will dig into the emulator though, great idea.

Yes, in general this gizmo is called a "fob", and a search for "Apple Watch fob" will turn up as many as you would like.

Not sure it would even work. The apple watch locks itself when you take it off your wrist
