Do you wear your rollie to the gym?

Do you wear your rollie to the gym? I I tried it a couple of times; the watch slides up my wrist and then when I flex I feel a lot of tension as if I could be stretching the bracelet.

No. But then I'm of the philosophy that exercise is hazardous to your health. I don't go near a gym.

Yes, but I leave it in the locker under lock and key when I work out...remember this is at the US Naval Academy where midshipmen swear an oath not to lie cheat or steal.

If that's not good enough, I have a personal article floater policy on it for full replacement value.

If I put a Nato on my DJ then I think it would be cool to wear to the gym

I wear both my Explorer 1 with SS bracelet and my Sub no date, with NATO when I lift weight at our outdoor gym.

I wear a g-shock when I exercise. * I don't go to the gym, I rock climb, golf, ski, swim, run, bike but no gym for me.

When I wore my Rolex, I had no issue wearing it at the gym. It's only a watch, for heaven's sake.

Nah...never!! Uncomfortable whilst handling dumbells and also the fear of scratching some part of the watch. Not worth it. Besides, our gym where I workout has a large wall clock which is pretty spot-on!!

I have a friend who has a 7 year old Exp2 (never serviced yet)who goes from the gym, to the pool and hottub to the sauna with it. Never had a problem yet.

Yes I have told him he is pushing it, but hey he has great faith in his Rolexes and they have never let him down.
