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.

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.

A1000 · 11 February 2009, 05:51 AM

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

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.

gettocard · 11 February 2009, 05:52 AM

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

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.

yannis · 11 February 2009, 06:13 AM

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

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.

ttomczak · 11 February 2009, 06:21 AM

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

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?

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

BiG JeEzY · 11 February 2009, 08:32 AM

Whenever I go to the gym, the Rolex watches stay at home on their Orbita winders.

I don't want to wear any accessories or watches in the gym, especially when I'm lifting weights. The gym that I go to has a wall mounted clock anyway so that's pretty convenient for me,.

thunderyacht · 11 February 2009, 08:32 AM

Rolex or not, wearing a watch to the gym just doesn't look right; kinda dorky if you ask me. It's kinda like the guys you see wearing their "street" clothes in the gym; just doesn't look good.

Athonatron · 11 February 2009, 08:38 AM

Anyone wearing a Rolex to the gym better no whine that their band links have sever stretch. You destroy the band when lifting with the watch on.

DMJ · 11 February 2009, 08:39 AM

No. Timex Ironman for gym/running & the DSSD gets a little spin in the watch winder. Mind you getting another DSSD for my other wrist would work out a few muscles!

Taffi Abernathy · 11 February 2009, 08:47 AM

I banged my watch once while lifting weights

(thankfully, no damage) and I promptly learned my lesson. I usually have a heart rate monitor on but regardless, I will never wear a Rolex to exercise in again.

B.B.B. · 11 February 2009, 08:54 AM

ouch! that's the point.

xjeeunitx · 11 February 2009, 10:48 AM

I know I shouldn't but I do it anyways. My Z serial Rolex has it's scratches now so I don't really get upset when I see a new one. :(

I don't think you need one

swissautopro · 11 February 2009, 11:47 AM

I don't wear a watch to the gym - my gym has plenty of wall clocks if time is a concern.
