since the ceramic crack bezel issue or safety issue do you still wear your rolex in gym for workout?

f16570 · 11 February 2009, 05:46 AM

Okey dokkey, there is no issue with ceramic bezel splitting or otherwise. I wear my Exp II all the time that is what they were made for. Why leave your watch in a shi**y locker while you are working out. Safest place on the wrist.

karmatp · 11 February 2009, 05:51 AM

Nope, Timex Ironman for me. My wrist swells at the gym and the bracelet gets so uncomfortable. I have worn a Rolex to the gym a few times when I forgot I was wearing one, but I just don't enjoy doing it.

cody p · 11 February 2009, 05:50 AM

this should be another poll: how many have cracked their ceramic bezels in the gym?

2th Dr · 11 February 2009, 05:50 AM

I always leave my watch at home when I go to the gym.

I'll second that...

I'm younger however, and do powerlifting/very heavy training and athletic training, I couldn't ever imagine wearing a watch in the gym but that's me... (age obviously doesn't play a huge role) as there are middle age guy's I see who are in crazy shape like I am... But still, mostly the guy's I see with watches on are on the treadmill walking at a slow pace

A1000 · 11 February 2009, 05:51 AM

No, I just don't go to the gym any more. Far too risky ;-)

gettocard · 11 February 2009, 05:52 AM

i'm tempted all the time...but I leave it home all the times..

Casio G-shock & gyms, like peanut butter & jelly.

Yume-sama · 11 February 2009, 05:55 AM

Of course. I wear my Platinum DD to the gym on most occasions

Rolex's are durable. You don't need to baby them

frostie · 11 February 2009, 05:59 AM

Yes i do

leopardprey · 11 February 2009, 06:03 AM

When I use to wear a Rolex, I wore it during all my fitness or outdoor pursuits, inclduing taking it to the gym.

Brunotheboxer · 11 February 2009, 06:05 AM

I wear my sub at the gym but its highly unlikely that my workout would hurt any watch.

marshallr47 · 11 February 2009, 02:59 PM

I wear my GMT to the gym...heck, my GMT has been with me to war. Rolex is a great watch to have on your wrist.

yannis · 11 February 2009, 06:13 AM

Never wear a watch when training, playing soccer etc...

ttomczak · 11 February 2009, 06:21 AM

Really don't wear a watch in the gym while working out...

Overkill · 11 February 2009, 06:20 AM

I wear my Sub while working out, but most of my workouts are running and fitness. I haven't been lifting weighs for a long time, I'd probably think twice about wearing my Sub then.

BGRINDEL · 11 February 2009, 06:31 AM

I wear my sub pretty much anywhere I go....gym included.

LDLemu4U · 11 February 2009, 06:33 AM

Never wear my Rolexes to the gym...........only my old TAG!

Dan Pierce · 11 February 2009, 06:37 AM

How did you know I was working out?

dP

B.B.B. · 11 February 2009, 06:44 AM

i just knew buddy!

Rolexitis · 11 February 2009, 06:58 AM

I wore my sub to the gym last week

No worries...I'm not slam dancing with weights!

kelly56 · 11 February 2009, 08:05 AM

No jewelry of any kind when I'm in the gym.

Serenty03 · 11 February 2009, 08:26 AM

Rolex is made to be enjoyed in all aspects of life

rolex5 · 11 February 2009, 11:52 AM

Very good question.

This kind of question sometimes makes me think of other questions.

If all the Rollies such as GMT, Sub, Exp, Sea Dweller & TOG (both) are called sport models, then are they designed for sports such as gym activities, swimming, climbing, flying, shooting, diving, racing etc......????

Or they are designed to wear them while we drink tea & watch kite surfers in action???

(1) Sporty rollies are designed for sports & it's quite ok, perfect to wear them at the gym.

(2) Mr. Show-Case Rollie does not want to wear his Sub to the gym because it may get some scratches, damaged or stolen.

There is an ocean of difference between the two.

No.....

Testing. Sorry.

rolex5 · 11 February 2009, 03:03 PM

Living proof after almost thousand of hours (nearly 2 yrs) in the gym & you'll be the judge.

Not counting hundreds of smiles from the chicks of all colors w/ tatoos & without tatoos.

Do we, Rollies' owners (not wearing them at the gym), want the chicks to smile at us or just want to look at the beauties who are smiling at a TOG guy???

Again, you're the judge.

My post is just for fun though.

Taffi Abernathy · 12 February 2009, 01:50 AM

My heartiest congratulations on the hundreds of "tattooed and nontattoed chicks" who smile at you. You've accomplished quite a feat! (Comments directed to Rolex5)

Sometimes I wear my gmt 2c out to the gym and holds up well!
