Yes, I wear my SubC Date when doing my every other day 5Ks. It’s my beater watch, but have a Casio G-Shock on the way which will be my true beater.

Xenon · 31 May 2020, 01:23 AM

I always wear Rolex when running from gold diggers.

cfracing · 31 May 2020, 01:39 AM

No. The only reason for me to wear a watch while running is to check it during the run. Analog watches, Rolex or any other, are more difficult read than a digital one while in motion. Plus digital watches have other useful functions besides total elapsed time like splits, pace, and distance traveled if there is GPS.

Tyson fury wore his PM sub whilst training for the last wilder fight though.

Thought that was a DD?

dr35mm · 31 May 2020, 01:49 AM

Garmin 945.

Stew7 · 31 May 2020, 01:53 AM

Garmin Forerunner when I run. Distance, time & pace are important for me to track progress.

Roddypeepa · 31 May 2020, 02:17 AM

No, Apple Watch for running.

No way! I run in the mountains on the trails and wear my Apple Watch. That is the only time I wear my Apple Watch

OldOak · 31 May 2020, 02:36 AM

Garmin Fenix 6 for me.

I don't understand why anyone would wear any mechanical watch when running.

Me too; trying to get in about three miles a day plus another couple walking with Mary (who won't/can't run).

Well for decades people would wear Rolex watches for running and all sorts of extreme activities; just because the transistor came along doesn't mean mechanical watches are obsolete (hence this forum, fwiw).

Lol I can understand it (same reason why most wear Rolex in first place). I just can’t wrap my mind around how that is sustainable or enjoyable!

I occasionally wear it when walking the dog.

See, extreme activity!!!

Not at all.

I have been asked by people pointing to their cell phones why anyone would wear any mechanical watch for any reason at all.

Ihatecheese · 31 May 2020, 05:07 AM

Yes it is a bit weird to wear your jewelry running. But then again some people choose to wear chains and all sorts whilst exercising.

Rebel · 31 May 2020, 05:40 AM

No. I have a Casio Illuminator for that.

herbie911 · 31 May 2020, 05:48 AM

Im too poor to wear a Rolex during my junior dr days! I wore a Tudor Hydranaut and did 4x London marathon 20 years ago. I start running again 4 years ago and wear a Tom tom Sparks. I completed a few marathons in six out of seven continents with it. I might wear a Rolex Explorer One when I tackle the Antarctic Ice Marathon in 2021!

Stripiest · 31 May 2020, 05:54 AM

Ten years ago, I might have run with a mechanical chronograph, but when there are now smartwatches that do the job much better and provide much useful information, there is no point.

tkc324 · 31 May 2020, 06:06 AM

I have worn my gmt ceramic out running almost every week. You get use to it moving around and never had anyone even look at it twice.

subprimero · 31 May 2020, 06:07 AM

G-Shock!

Calatrava r · 31 May 2020, 06:15 AM

Not running anymore but always wore the Sub when running and used the bezel for timing the run. Close enough timing for me. Never worried about the watch at all.

thekman · 31 May 2020, 07:29 AM

Not my regular running companion but have definitely timed some runs on my sub. I wear it on a rubber strap though.

No. Apple Watch.

Chiboy · 31 May 2020, 08:19 AM

I recall running the beach with my DJ in Cancun a number of years ago. It was the only watch I brought on the trip and I don't think I really wanted to leave the watch in the hotel. It was fine. Normally, like others here, I use a Garmin.

qua13 · 31 May 2020, 08:19 AM

If I wear a Rolex watch when running, when then will I wear an apple watch?

eonflux · 31 May 2020, 08:47 AM

Yes.
Especially when traveling and I go for a run.
Not going to leave my watch in the hotel room.

inadeje · 31 May 2020, 12:09 PM

This is my workout watch

socialpro · 31 May 2020, 12:55 PM

Either sports or no watch running - never worn a Rolex. Same for gym.
