I haven’t been changing watches as frequently... most of them aren’t kept at home anyway. Wearing a yellow gold breitling chronograph for the last 3 days, and a tag aquaracer for the 2 weeks prior to that. Tomorrow I think I’ll change again maybe to seiko skx, finding the date function useful at the moment, each day is rolling into the next. So yeah although it was subconscious I haven’t worn any Rolex!

I wear a watch when I go out. I'm not going out much at the moment.

I never wear a watch in the house, only when I go out. Grandfather clock, 2 pendulum wall clocks, 2 cuckoo clocks, a Russian submarine clock and another wall clock in the kitchen and the time displayed on my computer so no need to look at my wrist.

I must admit though I have pulled a couple of watches out, set the time and contemplated wearing them just because I don't wear them so much, but in the end put them back.

One of the first things I do. Wear my Bluesy. Every day. Something I look forward to after waking up and going for a cup of coffee.


It's just all about health, happiness & family. The rest are just necessary inconvenience we have to deal with.

Daily 5k with watch on, usually BLNR, shower with and keep on until bed time. They are made to be worn.

Time don’t stop for the C-19.

I wear a watch 24 hours per day. A different one at night usually then during the day. I wear a fitness tracker as well.

I love wearing my Rolex watches, they bring me joy just looking at them! I wear them for me, indoors, outdoors, always on my wrist, only exceptions, intense workouts and when I am showering.

Still been wearing a watch, and enjoying swapping out per usual. Even if I have nowhere to go! Have only been able to admire my recent purchase, as I'm stilll waiting on my sizing tool.

No stay at home order for me as my company has certification from the DOD to continue production through this situation. We are working overtime and shipping 6 days per week.

For the most part I’m wearing the normal rotation, but the SD43 and BLNR are getting most wrist time at home and less at work as I’m spending more time on the shop floor with higher than normal absenteeism.

I wear mine 24/7. Before quarentine and now is the same, but now is worst because I'm doublewristing more.

vast majority of owners view their Rolex as a watch for that 'special occasion'.
very few still consider it a 'toool watch'.

being stuck at home is not exactly a special occasion. so the Rolex stays in the box.

Wear mine every day....couldn’t afford one for years but hard work and determination allowed me two buy two...misinformation from the Socialist Gavin Newsom and his underlying agenda won’t have any impact on what watch goes on my wrist each day

Putting my watch on of a morning is part of my routine - I also worked from home 2-3 days a week already (now 5 days with lock-down). I'd feel like I was missing out on quality wear time if I didn't wear it at home. Also, still go out, whether it is to the shops or walk the dog, or exercise.

I think the good thing about being part of the group that uses their rolex at home and when they sleep is that I never stop enjoying my hobby, neither at home, nor in quarantine, alone or with people! Love to have my SD companion 24/7

Have to agree and just like all watches they just tell the time when needed on the wrist nothing more.

I put my watches away as well. My routine is shot now that I just walk over to the computer in my home office. Putting on my watch is part of the routine of me getting showered and dressed but that is happening at odd times throughout the day. Some days I don't even shower until lunch or later and after I shower is when I normally put on a watch.

I still wear everyday. I guess we own watches for different reasons. If yours is just a fashion statement (which there is absolutely nothing wrong with that), then I would see no reason for you to wear right now.

I wear my watches and enjoy them. My PM models have not gotten a lot of wrist time but will, when things get back toward normal.
