If you lift, do you wear your Rolex in the gym?

[NKLV]

I see people at Lifetime wearing rolexes all the time, I have no idea why. I just lock mine in my car dashboard drawer.

I take mine off before working out, golf and yard work

I never take it off to put it in gym locker or leave in car. It is MUCH safer on your wrist.

Completely agree

I wear my watch to the gym quite often, but with the recent prices of the Batman I have been leaving it in the car. It does bother my hand while doing pushups. When I got my Sky Dweller I decided not to wear it to the gym. I think having an accurate heart rate monitor would be a great gadget.

Always on my wrist.

Changing plates, pull-ups, too many things could go wrong. My forearms get scratched up from ring dips so no way would I wear a decent watch.

Used to wear my DSSD, Exp II or Pelagos whilst playing badminton. And I used to wear my Sub 114060 and Sinn U1 in the gym. I’m a bit more careful of my watches now.

I just wear my Apple watch or one of my Casio's at the gym. For me it's not a matter of "Is it safe...", but a matter of comfort/preference.

Now if I'm on a business trip or on vacation, I would definitely not leave a Rolex in the hotel room. In that particular case I would just wear it at the gym.

Worst case (if it's not comfortable, particularly for heavier gold pieces) I would put it in a watch case or travel pouch and keep it on me during my workout.

I wear my G-shock for the gym. Much more versatile and comfortable to wear when doing barbell and Dbell exercises. Wore my Sub for a while but the nature of the metal strap and lack of alarm detracted from my workout.

My 14060m is my dedicated gym watch for the last 10+ years.(mostly free weights) No problems, no dings or deep scratches, bezel is 100%. Just wear it tight. In fact still looks newer/less scratched them my wifes 9 month old DJ.

I try not to wear a nice watch in the gym. However, the one place where I feel a Rolex is less safe than a gym is in a gym locker.

Gym lockers only keep honest people out.

I try not to bring a nice watch to the gym, if I do, I will work out in it but will adjust my workout accordingly. Will only use machines and cardio. No free weights nor will I even look at a kettlebell. Imagine doing one kettlebell snatch with a watch on...cracked crystal.

[Sam Philip]

I wear a steel Rolex or a steel Patek to the gym.

[Wllnv19]

Yes...I’m in my late 50’s ..figure I only have about another 20 good years..give or take a few..why leave my watches behind in a pristine condition!

[Brew]

Yes. I'm in my late 50s. The clocks on the walls are too far away and I don't want to damage the Variluxes . . . .

[A-Wax]

Rolex stays at home on gym days - I've seen too many sad news stories of stolen ones, and I wouldn't want to be worrying about banging it during a workout. G-Shock every time, I need the stopwatch anyway!

[DPE]

Do I lift and wear my Rolex in the Gym !! What a daft question !!… lol....

No I change out of my suit and tie complete with my Rolex and expensive leather shoes. Then change into my Gym gear...…….. lol......

[AshCashEmAll]

I would never wear my watch to the gym. I accidentally was wearing it a few times and just hid it somewhere in my car where someone wouldn't be able to find it. With the intensity of my training I could make a stupid mistake and bang the crystal up on some weights. Its honestly the only place I don't think I wear my watch.

I imagine wearing your Rolex while weightlifting is (ironically) a good way to keep your form in check, weight-wise.

If you're worried about anything slipping past your wrist, your form is off.

I found exactly that today, kept me in check. :)

[Phrank]

Home first before gym so no.

The amount of sweat, and potential to bang the watch, why take the chance.

There is a guy, a physician, who wears a Cellini at my gym....

[Onikage]

Nope. Wearing a watch is a pita.

[Jetski]

Wouldn't you be terrified to have it stolen from your locker when you NEED to take it off?

[Goldnlivin]

I hit the gym daily and never wear a watch...I am there to work out! One less thing to worry about getting accidentally abused (why not avoid it if possible).

A buddy of mine (much older 40+ yrs) USE to wear his Rolex daily to the gym until I helped him buy a new 116610LN. He NEVER wears it to the gym now. His old sub was from the 80's.....

[TheDon2000]

I have worn fine watches to the gym but personally I see reason to and do not do so anymore. Doesn't really have a function...Wait, you're seriously timing your sets with your Sub's bezel? The risk of damage isn't as high as many would think but what's the point? Personally, I hate the feeling of metal against my wrist when damp/sweaty.

[turboevo2]

I would rather hide it in my car. Because people will see it at the gym and maybe follow you afterwards to mug you.

[Soultime]

Quite a variety of Gyms posted so far.

Everything from Gyms where you may get mugged, to Gyms where most of the clientele are wearing gold Pateks / Rolex.

Usual TRF...... Ask a question and receive every possible option as a reply.
