Since Lockdown i have not wore my rolex

Hi,

Since lockdown i dont even wear my rolexes, infact they been replaced by a fitness watch

I bought a fitbit and started running and biking alot to monitor my health and keep active. I put my watches away and dont intend to wear them anytime soon

Is this just me or anybody else?

Just wearing my watches makes me feel better! If you have them you should enjoy them!

I wear a watch even in the house. In the house or out in the yard, I wear my Casio. Due to the virus I am home more but, still wear a watch. The Submariner is waiting to go again.........when it's time.

I wear the watch that gives me the best vibe. Haven't worn my Patek since lockdown actually, Sky-Dweller blue and Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Limited have been demanding the most time

I wear my GMT II every day. Part of it is because this keeps some part of my daily routine going. The main part is I just love wearing it!

Sounds like a lot of people just own Rolex watches just to go out in public so others can notice. With everything on lockdown, there is nowhere to “take” your Rolex.

I didn't buy my Rolex to make an impression on anyone. I grew out of that vanity stage a long, long time ago (if I ever had that). I do things because I want to and I buy/wear things because I want to. I could care less what anyone thinks of what clothes or watch I am wearing. It seems to me there are more people who feel as I do, not the other way around. What I do notice is that younger people care what others think of their status. Believe me all of us go through that at one time.

No reason to dress properly is my excuse.

Ive been wearing a Garmin everyday since lockdown.

However, I wind my other watches up every now and then just to give them some exercise

Stay healthy and safe everyone!

The days run together, which is why I wear them more than ever. Plus, I still like to flash a little wrist candy on Zoom and check out everyone else.

I've been working out of my basement and it's freezing down here, so I'm always wearing hoodies & sweaters. Therefore I haven't been wearing my watches as much, because they would just hide underneath my sweater so I wouldn't even be looking at it, really.

Not much at all -- I've been working out of my basement and it's freezing down here all the time, so I've been wearing large hoodies and sweaters every day. Therefore the watch is hiding underneath clothes so I wouldn't have the pleasure to even look at it.

I think most of us would still be wearing our watches even if we were facing the four horsemen
