I wear mine all the time except when there is a chance I'll scratch my lovely wife if 45 years.

ingoodtime · 28 August 2011, 01:22 PM

Usually wear my GMTIIC about 14-17 hrs daily and sometimes to sleep, always to the gym, pool, beach, sometimes boating. Since my arm surgery thi s pas Wednesday, I wear it 24/7.

I take my watch called Submariner into the water when I need to.

i am always wearing my GMT 2 C for all above activities since purchase ( 3.5 month ago) , the only time I take it off is 75
minutes a day during my SQUSH game .

is that normal , or should I change my wearing habits.

No reason not too

T01 · 27 January 2014, 09:42 AM

None of the above. Anytime I'm participating in athletics or doing something physical my G-shock goes on duty.

I'll swim leisurely with some of them on if on vacation with a watch and scuba dive with a diving watch, but that is about it. No reason to jog with a Rolex on since I have a Garmin 910xt for monitoring calories burned. No reason for me to shower with one on. Sleeping with one on seems ridiculous to me. Why would I want to add any additional stretch to the bracelet if I don't even look at a watch while sleeping?

I put my watch on when I leave the house for work or social activities. I don't sleep with, shower, or exercise with it on.

alubin · 27 January 2014, 10:55 AM

yes to all. I might feel differently after adding an all gold piece.

crowncollection · 27 January 2014, 12:19 PM

Yes I do all daily activity with my watch on. I do take it off at night.

mr_gray · 27 January 2014, 01:42 PM

never off. not for nothing. pretty much why i bought a sub. wanted a watch that could always be on. only time it does come off is if i'm trying some night stand regulation on it (runs a tiny bit slow on wrist unfortunately and I'm a stickler for accuracy).

smokin3000gt · 27 January 2014, 01:42 PM

I sleep and shower with mine but I take it off before the gym or cycling. Does anyone keep wear theirs while at the beach? I imagine it would be hard to get all the grit and sand out.

I've historically worn my GMT at all times over the past 43 years, except when doing work that might cause damage like heavy car repair or yard work, water skiing, etc. Always wore it at night and in the shower but lately have been taking it off at night to regulate (runs a tad slow)--and I don't remove it during workouts. The first 20 years or so of ownership I wasn't as conscientious about removing it, and that caused the original bezel ring to pop off when working in the yard. I found it a few years later and since then I've used more discretion about when I wear it.

The Daytona is only two weeks old to me and it will lead a more pampered lifestyle since it's in mint shape and I'd like to keep it that way, but I take it into the shower, too. An old watchmaker once told me showering with the watch was a good bonding experience--or, really, that it would help keep the watch clean in the nooks and crannies of the bracelet and under the bezel. The Daytona stays off at night, too (runs a tad fast).

AF_Rob · 27 January 2014, 02:21 PM

Generally it stays on except for jogging.

kentrojan1 · 27 January 2014, 07:14 PM

I wear mine all the time be it work , shower , sleep but only place I don't wear it at is the gym as I mainly train with weights and I'm worried that the weights might damage the watch as with my previous encounter with a citizen lol

RolexDivers · 27 January 2014, 08:19 PM

I like to have my arms/wrists totally free when I am at home, at rest ... I only wear watches when I step out of the house. Otherwise the watch feels like a weight on my shoulders...

asadtiger · 27 January 2014, 08:25 PM

I dont have a Rolex but a sister Omega GMT that I wear at all times, day and night, except for in the shower and during games, mostly I also play squash, or occassionally golf.

I've done all those except working out but don't like sleeping in a watch at all. Really don't see the point in that. But to each his own.

Joranb · 28 January 2014, 01:15 AM

Well, I don't like exercising with a watch.
But I was told that a mechanic watch and severe temperature changes where very bad. Because the metal parts inside expand en shrink, and may get deformed after doing so regularly.
I'm not sure about it, but that's why I take of my watch before taking a shower.

superdog · 28 January 2014, 01:33 AM

yes, no, yes, yes.

Castor · 28 January 2014, 01:41 AM

Mine does not come off my wrist. I shower with it on & make sure that I rinse the soap off, that's all.
