Vacation watch

[denmanproject]

We leave for a long awaited family vacation soon, hard to believe it’s been 7 yrs since we went anywhere tropical! From getting married + 2 kids + building my business + throw COVID in there and boom, here we are. Time to use some travel points

My first and only choice for the trip is my SLA037, it’ll be with me from buffets to beaches to diners out and everything in between

Anyone else have an easy choice for their vacation watch?

Glad you and family are getting a tropical vacation Wayne! Where are you going?

I’ve taken my SLA037 to Hawaii a few times and loved it on those trips. Brought various straps to change it up.

Interestingly, I was in Belize last week and took the new SJE093 with me on that trip. It ended up boring me. I’m more a fan of the 037 now. Enjoy it on your trip!

Thanks! nothing spectacular just Cancun, trying to keep it easy with a 5yr old and 2yr old. First time at the ocean for both!

I love the 093 as well but agree the 037 has a bit more fun factor

Have a blast!! For me it’s my Luminox diver when I’m going to Mexico, the Dominican Republic, or anywhere else I’m not wanting to wear something expensive.

Holidays is for me always my CHNR or SkyD.
Sky for city trips and the GMT for beach and sun

Enjoy the trip my friend, much deserved

Thats a great looking watch to bring on this needed vacation. Enjoy the time away making memories with the kids Wayne!

I will advise you pay close attention to your watches during trips, these days you attract thief’s by just living your life. Have a great time with the family.

Great watch for a trip. Enjoy.

[kieselguhr]

Usually bring a Tudor and a Rolex. Same with the wife.

[stateman]

Great choice and enjoy the vacation.

Somewhat similar, I typically bring the BB58 Blue + a G Shock on tropical/beach type vacations.

[Redfoot]

If it's a beach/dive trip, usually G-Shock or Casio Pro-Trek (with moon and tide chart) and MAYBE the Tudor FXD, depending on location.

If it is land based, usually the G-Shock and the Speedmaster on sailcloth.

Work trip: Speedmaster on bracelet or Shinola Monster (we are Detroit based)and square G-Shock

Moral of the story is.......Never leave home without a G-Shock!

Great watch choice. Enjoy your family time, it’s what we’ve all worked for.

Last time we were there ocean swimming was not recommended due to rip tides. Those waves rolling in were no joke. Fun to watch but not for frolicking.

It’s such a beautiful warm place, enjoy.

[Krash]

I could use any of my watches as a vacation watch. It depends on where I’m going. The only rule I have is that I don’t bring more than one.

I just took this one on a mini vacation to Clearwater / St Petersburg, FL. Sort of ironic because I never left my timezone.

Shit. I thought it was for more watches!

Great thread & you deserve some time away from life's self-imposed stressors, OP. My vacation/beach watch is my Glycine GL0076. It looks just like this, but it's on a James Bond-style NATO. Many beaches, many oceans, a few SCUBA dives.

Nice!

MRG for me. Took it off immediately on arrival to paraphrase another member -you’re doing it wrong if you’re wearing a watch

[colpol]

Not worn my seiko on holiday for years after I got the citizen. Great watch/ looks the business / nice wrist presence

Thanks! That's not my pic, btw. My Glycine is in its box not near me when I posted that reply. It was only a few hundred bucks almost seven or so years ago... It's quite slim & rugged, although the aluminum bezel insert has gotten a few scratches & nicks. The watch isn't sentimental or valuable enough for me to care. I don't wear a NATO strap on a daily basis so wearing one while on vacation has a positive Pavlovian effect... NATO = fun times/beach.

Great choice. Enjoy the trip.

Thanks I'm sure we will be spending most of the time at the pool / pirate ship for the kids lol

We LOVE going to Cancun!

We also have similar aged kids. 6 and 1.5. The resorts are so great for kids. And parents.

We actually just back tonight from Disney World. Holy moly. While it had its fun moments, it might be a while until we go back. It was just absolutely packed for spring break. And it was hard on our 1.5 yr old.

Enjoy Cancun!

I take my BB58 as my vacation watch.
