for destinations.

diver2012 · 13 June 2013, 04:53 AM

Sure why not - have fun!

Ranfni · 13 June 2013, 04:54 AM

Barcelona, Mallorca, St Tropez, Monte Carlo, Nice, Portofino and Marseille.

diver2012 · 13 June 2013, 04:59 AM

All of those are nice enough places - you should be fine.

Just be wary of pick pockets in Barca/Nice/Marseille and you should be fine.

h999r · 13 June 2013, 05:07 AM

off course.

Chulo · 13 June 2013, 05:13 AM

Take them if you will enjoy them. If you are going to worry about them, leave them home. I'd probably take one, and take a Timex or cheap piece for sight seeing.

Rashid.bk · 13 June 2013, 05:20 AM

Sure, but all them....maybe an(favorite all a rounder) AP and a beater for the gym, beach, activities, etc.

I can use my iPhone instead of a cheapy

I was thinking swimming, beach, etc. I had the same dilemma when I went to Puerto Rico over the holidays. iPhones are not very waterproof. Trust me on that one...

AK797 · 13 June 2013, 06:08 AM

Be wary, had trouble in Barca and Rome, where robbers dressed as policemen in a police car stopped me, so I wouldn't wear a nice watch if I looked like a tourist.

Jim12345 · 13 June 2013, 06:42 AM

You should be fine, I would take them, insurance would give you peace of mind.

Barcelona is a nice place but i would not say no worries...
& marseille was 1 of the 2 worst places i have seen along the mediterranean coast (on a bicycle ride that went from la spezia italy to barcelona ) regarding crime & a sense of not being safe. The other place that was even more of a concern was Genoa....A large city built around shipping , will likely have a nefarious transient element to consider.

kilyung · 13 June 2013, 07:24 AM

Heck yeah!

Ristretto · 13 June 2013, 07:29 AM

Dont wear it in Marseille, Barcelona or Nice.

That's a new one... What did they want?

AK797 · 13 June 2013, 07:42 AM

They asked for my passport and to see my wallet and ID. I told them I had no passport, I did, and I had only ten bucks in my wallet so I showed them and they returned it. At the time I thought it was suspicious but they were obviously very convincing and I was a young, pretty well built guy back then so I wouldn't be a normal or easy target either. Being a foreigner I couldn't flat out refuse and it was also all in plain sight in a tourist area. I went to a police station after and was told they were well known robbers. If they are that cunning then tourists don't really stand much chance so I wont wear anything expensive dressed as a tourist anymore.

AshAP · 13 June 2013, 07:48 AM

I always take my watches on my summer holidays. You do need to be relatively careful in France but presumably if you're on a cruise then any watches that you're not wearing will be in your cabin safe.

I don't see the point in working hard in between holidays and then not taking a few toys away while you relax in the sun.

Well said

Hairdude1 · 13 June 2013, 01:45 PM

Bring them! Enjoy the trip

singe89 · 13 June 2013, 01:59 PM

Bring them. Make sure they are insured and don't worry about them.

Soly20 · 14 June 2013, 08:03 AM

Take them of course but always be careful. The stories about thieves dressed up as police are 100% true so be careful. Also Marseille, not that great with security.

Demonoid · 14 June 2013, 10:23 AM

Absolutely not... AP's are meant to be treated like a baby and locked up in your safe.

Not! LOL

Enjoy the trip and were the hell out of your AP. Just be smart if going into a dark alley or something.
