I'm often not even wearing pants. Not much occasion for a watch.

Mostly wearing my beater iwatch around the house. The iwatch integration with my iPhone is nice taking calls/conference on my iwatch. My Rolex gets wrist time on the weekends lately.

I haven't worn a watch since March 23rd, don't tend to bother indoors. Mind you, I haven't really worn proper clothes since then either, just shorts and tee.

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.

This is an oddly judgemental sentiment. For many, watches are jewelry. If you want to wear jewelry at home, sure, nothing wrong with that. But it's hardly a sign of superficiality if people aren't wearing jewelry when home alone.

And if you need your watch to tell the time while in your home, you must not be fond of clocks.

I was responding to a comment that was pretty judgemental. If you read the comment I responded to maybe you might see why I posted what I did. To be honest, I don't care the reason why anyone else does what they do. I am not feeding, funding or xxxxxxx them so they don't need my opinion for anything. Here's the post I responded to for context. I also said in my original post that wearing my GMT II is part of keeping some normalcy in my life during these not so normal times. Cheers!

Been doing a lot of walking around the house for past 6 weeks in and out of rooms so took mine off to avoid the inevitable head on crash and more than likely multiple head on crashes with door jams which I have a tendency to do now and then. So why introduce more trauma into my current situation.

I retired 3 years ago so my routine has been home-centric for a while. I still happily wear my watches even though every room has at least 1 clock. I paid $$ for the watches so I will wear them.

I’ve been wearing my Garmin VivoSport on my right wrist(slim profile like a Fitbit) and either my GMT, Daytona, or Speedmaster on my left wrist just like any other time. We are allowed to go out to exercise which I do at least five times a week. My BLRO did 16 miles of mountainbiking with me today.

I have also been wearing my Rolex watches, and Omega, and Carl Bucherer, but it doesn't feel quite the same. Not as happy maybe...?
