Wear mine daily except when I'm at the gym, running a mud/obstacle course, camping and lawn work.

If you do, take the watch off first. Maybe send it to me.

Not a good idea to wear a metal watch (or rings) when working under the hood of your car - if you somehow manage to short the positive terminal of your battery to ground with your Rolex I'd be less concerned with damage to the watch than what that will do to your wrist!

The one thing where seems like there is a real divide is playing golf. Luckily I don't need to worry about that, but seems like there is a split or even a large portion of people that won't wear a mechanical watch playing golf.

Please stick around, we need more like you.

This is exactly my thoughts as well

I'm a nurse and if I'm putting a foley in someone or cleaning someone's butt, I take it off; only cause I don't want someone's else's funk touching my watch. I don't wear it while working out, have my Apple Watch for that. Also don't wear it while doing yard work, not because I'm afraid of it getting dirty, I just don't want a watch tan line.

On my days off and the evenings, the only time I take a Rolex off if to put another on. I generally don't wear a Rolex at work, not because I don't think it can take it, but because it could send a wrong message to the people I serve. I have two tudors for work. Enjoy that bad boy!!!

I wouldn't wear any metal watch in a sauna in the event that it might burn my wrist. I wouldn't put one in the microwave either.

I don't wear mine for mountain biking because I crash a lot. I could ride slower and wear it but it wouldn't be as much fun!

I don't work on the car or with power tools with any jewelry on including a watch. Otherwise not much else I can think of.

I'm a right hand right wearer so everything except framing hammering.

Oh and when she does her "Frog" imitation and says "Take your watch off, Bandit."
