Do You Wear Your Watch While Playing Golf?
Was wondering how many Rolex owners wear their watch while playing golf or tennis. I wear my GMTIIc while playing golf. In fact, the RSC in NYC did not blink when I brought my watch in under warranty to be adjusted and told them that I wore it playing golf. They just told me to try not to hit it instead of the ball.

Have played golf (some), shooting sports (a lot), yard work, rough-housing with the kids, etc. I consider that "normal wear."
Other than working on cars/motorcycles, painting, or something where I wouldn't wear *any watch*, I don't give any thought to what I will or won't do with a Rolex on. It's meant to be used, and I do. |

Of course...it shaves 3 strokes off my round by keeping my left arm controlled.

Yes, I wear mine when I play golf and run.
I'm curious to hear horror stories of damage from shock to the watch. |

I always used to, but the last few years I've taken it off, and I think it helps. I figure it's better for the watch to take it off. I do always worry though, when it's just zipped up in my bag on the back of the cart. I keep a close eye on that bag.

Nope, it goes in a beautiful protective case which gets locked in the golf bag. That goes for all of my timepieces.

No, Just never got the hang of playing any sports with any watch on. Not for the watches' well being but for mine; I wear my watches too loose.

I wear mine while on the course, in the garden, everywhere. It has a 24/7 relationship with me. The saying, "it's a Rolex" is enough comfort for me.
Foreeeeeee!

I do not wear any watch while playing golf. Since I do not wear my watches snug, the sliding is a distraction for me...I'm not that good at golf so any distraction I can get rid of ...may help. Still trying to clear the water hazard in the middle of #3. Maybe I should try wearing my Rolex.

I always wear my DJ playing golf, hitting balls by the buckets, cycling, swimming. Never a hiccup, until after 15 years it stopped, so I had it serviced. I didn't know it has to be serviced regularly.

Personally, I do not because it is not real comfortable and I play a lot of golf.
I can see wearing a rolex sports watch because they are so light and small but the PAM and Breitling would be no good for golf. My local rolex watch maker says it's not good for a regular golfer to do so. He has a lot of golfing clients that give him a lot of business. |

I don't play golf or tennis but I would wear any of my Rolex, Omega, or PAM if I did.

No, it gets in the way of the golf glove. Plus I would have to put a tee behind my right ear to balance things.

Do those of you who take it off carry a shotgun in your golf bags to protect it?

But make sure you don't donate your Rolex to the water hazard!

No. It's uncomfortable for me.

I damaged the bezel on my Sub and scratched the case and bracelet when I crashed my motorcycle at 60 mph. The Sub protected me from breaking my wrist. The watch still kept perfect time, even as I counted the days while I was learning how to walk again. I'm sure it could handle a round of golf.
