I wear wrist straps when working upper body and compression sleeves when working my back and biceps, so I couldn't wear a watch in the gym. In any case, it would only annoy me so I wouldn't do it.

Tried it but only because I did not trust the gym locker.
Running with it was a pain in the bum and will never do it again... |

My 16710 never leaves my wrists. I wear it at the gym (weight/cardio training), my job (active duty military), yardwork, car work, any manual labor essentially, wrestling with my dogs and my son, swimming (including snorkeling), showers, and yes, even sleeping.
I don't even think about it anymore. |

The gym? The gym is the hardest thing you can throw at your Rolex?
I guess your Rolex is a sheltered one. Mine goes to WORK :) On an all steel barges. And the little thing never complains. For working out I use Fenix 5- just so I can get all the metrics. I have never been worried the Explorer would give up on me. Never. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I work out a lot, at least 4 times a week, more if I have the time, and have never taken my watch off, whichever on my wrist, 1016, Tog or Air King, I own them, they don't own me. I always go in sauna or steam room after, and my watch comes with me. Have been doing this for years, and they all keep ticking away as Rolex intended. I do get the 1016 pressure tested every year, and serviced regularly.

I ran several Olympic distance triathlons wearing my yachtmaster (run and bike parts. In the open water swim there is a lot of jostling and grabbing at the start and I didn't want to risk it somehow getting unclasped and slipping to the bottom of the sf bay! Tho in hindsight the chances of that were small).

I always wear mine. No issue other than being careful not to knock it by mistake.
I prefer this to leaving the watch in my hotel room or in the locker.

I used to switch to a Garmin so I could use the HR monitor but now that I've bought my own treadmill and use the built in monitor I leave my Rolex on. The only time I take it off now is if I'm doing kettle bells that day.

And while wearing two Rolex watches? Are kettle bells a musical instrument?

I can't wear anything on my wrist while working out. It just doesn't feel right.

My SubC and Kobold have probably seen the most activities from camping, rock climbing, water activities, hiking, military duty, field work, yard work, working out, etc.

What about Wii? I've observed that there's a lot of arm-waving and motion involved, depending on the game. Can one Wii wearing a Rolex? |

I don't. Mostly for comfort. Not because they can't handle the activity. But also for more strenuous activities I tend to take them off for the why bother factor.

My SubC regularly is on me when I lift weights, run and box. I've also taken it swimming and diving.
I have no intent of doing that with the BLNR. |

I've gotten to the point where I wear one from the point I wake up till I go to bed. Just used to having that weight on my wrist I guess. So far no problems from wearing it to the gym. My biggest enemies are the door knobs of my house.

I don't care to have anything on my wrist when playing golf. It might be largely in my head, but the asymmetric wrist weight is a distraction.
I also go bare-wristed when working in the garage, more to avoid damage to my watches (and cars) than anything else. |
