Yes, you read that correctly — the Vicar of Christ appears to be keeping time (and possibly tracking his steps) with a smartwatch. And once the image hit social media, reactions came flooding in.

“The Pope wearing an Apple Watch gets me every time,” one user posted on X, formerly Twitter, clearly amused by the blend of ancient ceremony and modern tech.

Another added, “The Pontiff rocking an Apple Watch? That’s such a surreal image,” while others simply found it hilarious. “I can’t get over this,” one user said. “It’s just too funny.”
