Well, I for one have put on a lot of weight in 3 years!

guyrolex · 29 April 2012, 02:29 PM

I wear my Daytona, DSSD, GMT IIC and Sub C for workouts, tennis, golfing, the ocean- pretty well for everything without a second thought

gwalker · 29 April 2012, 02:51 PM

WOW...... 3 Year old thread. Lol. To answer the question no watch at gym.

anarmy · 29 April 2012, 03:25 PM

no. my wrist always get bigger due to the muscle pump.
anyway, ceramic bezel is quite strong. i'd be more worried about your wrist/hand if somehow you got your ceramic bezel cracked on an exercise.

treeinthecity · 30 April 2012, 03:00 AM

I love my Rolex as much as the next person but at the gym it is my heartrate monitor.

liuk3 · 30 April 2012, 03:16 AM

Funniest question. Like asking do you wear makeup or dress up to go workout at the gym? There are definitely those who will answer yes. LOL.

drjfc62 · 30 April 2012, 10:29 AM

I see that it's an old thread but I'm brand new to the forum. I wear a watch everywhere...except the gym. As others have said, some wrist swelling, especially when weight lifting, is more distraction than I prefer.

Well said Ken!

scarab007 · 30 April 2012, 02:29 PM

HAHAHA...3 year old thread. Cool, I will play. NO watch while at the gym. There is a guy that does wear a two tone while working out. I must say the guy looks like the biggest idiot walking around with it on. So ya, no watch. Plus, just plain uncomfortable I would think.

pfg1 · 30 April 2012, 02:39 PM

no rolex when at the gym......

caryyee · 30 April 2012, 02:56 PM

For aerobic group fitness classes, I sometimes wear my SS Rolex especially if I've just come straight from work (my Rolex is far safer on my wrist than in a gym locker!) but any weight training, then, no, I don't want to risk banging my watch against any metal plates, plus my weight gloves have a metal zipper on them, don't want it to be running against my watch. For those situations, I wear my plastic digital $20 watch ...

Hairdude1 · 30 April 2012, 03:52 PM

I leave my watch at home.

CLRBLULITE · 30 April 2012, 04:14 PM

Naw....I time my set between lifting weights with clocks on the wall or a cheap, dependable Casio when no clocks are present. I'd never chance it....I lift pretty hard...same with cardio.

Joey_V · 30 April 2012, 04:18 PM

I wear any of my 4 to the gym. I lift decently heavy and sometimes I run on the treadmill. Never had an issue.

Atomant · 30 April 2012, 05:58 PM

Oh yes, I even wear my TT sub a couple of times to the gym, no sweat at all.

How · 30 April 2012, 06:27 PM

At the gym now. Sub-C.

novan3 · 30 April 2012, 11:57 PM

Thanks! These are reassuring pics, especially the latter

No watch for me at the gym.

landroverking · 1 May 2012, 01:43 AM

Yes

dieseldragon · 1 May 2012, 01:47 AM

wear a Rolex on a Nato for the gym, last week was the Seadweller's turn, this week its the GMT

herbalt · 1 May 2012, 02:22 AM

Only if I forget to lock it in my office before hitting the gym. Will not keep my new sub in a gym locker.

dhershberger · 1 May 2012, 03:58 AM

I used to for years, but since I just purchased an Explorer II and had my GMT refinished at the DSC, I have been leaving them at home.

Neeksters · 5 September 2014, 08:36 AM

I don't mind to wear my rolex at the gym but I am a little worried about stretching the band.. If I happen to be wearing it already I don't want to leave it in my car or locker..

topgear · 1 May 2012, 04:50 AM

G Shock for the gym

but if I need to leave it at the locker, I rather have it on my wrist

Me too

threemonkeys · 1 May 2012, 05:05 AM

I've never worn my Casio training watch to a suit and tie affair as there was no need. That's kind of my thought when it comes to wearing my Rolex to dig a mine shaft or mow the lawn. So, no, I don't (didn't) wear it to the gym.

00Seven · 1 May 2012, 06:45 AM

I wear my Sub-C to the gym almost daily. Then again, I don't make new threads questioning whether it's alright to wear a dive watch to the beach either... I buy my watches to wear and enjoy them - I'm just careful not to bang my wrist into the weights. Haven't had any issues in years of working out with my watches.

JustABreathAway · 5 September 2014, 08:57 AM

Interesting thread revival....

I would not ever wear my YG DDII lifting the man weights or running, but that's just me
