Do you wear a watch when you work out?

Gents and all you young ladies,

Do you wear a watch (Rolex) when your pumping iron or doing any other form of exercise?

Sorry boys, I don't mean raising a glass to your mouth to take a drink, although that is a form of working out.

Nope. Take it off right before lifting, and then it goes right back on after the shower. Don't like the binding feel of trying to lift with a watch. And my wrist seems to swell a bit when I work out.

Yes but a more practical workout watch than a Rolex. Casio is the 'Rolex' in the workout world.

Only time I wear a watch for exercising is when I wear my Garmin 610 for running.

Suunto Vector. Not worn, but in use to time my workouts. If running only then I will wear it to time run.

I wore a Seiko "Gold Tuna" for 30 years, until it died and couldn't be repaired. I am now wearing a Daytona and I take it off for 3 reasons: 1) Scuba Diving, 2) Golf and other "impact" sports, and 3).... ;) I don't want to get banned.
