Can you do cardio & shower with a Submariner?
Kind of a silly question, I know. But can you wear your Submariner while doing cardio/sweating (jogging, elliptical, etc.)? Can you also wear it in the shower? Any rules on maintaining it afterwards (pat dry, etc.)? I don't want it to smell moldy either. I'm assuming you can since it's a diving watch. However, I heard that the steam isn't good for it. These are just a couple reasons that persuaded me towards this specific Rolex model. Thanks.

According to good sources, Submariner can be used to decorate your watchwinder and to take photos to post on this website. If you wear it, you might inflict some serious damage to the watch. Me personally, I dont like the process of taking the watch off, so I keep it on, even in sauna or jacuzzi. The steam does leave tiny water droplets on the crystal, but i have a special cloth to wipe those off. |

No yoga, but you can jog, golf, swim, sleep, eat, shower, drive, wave to a friend, and even brush your teeth while wearing your Rolex.
The moldy smell can be handled by using anti-bacterial soap. Scrub your feet, and armpits with a hand cloth for a few minutes. Wash the watch with warm water, handsoap, and an old toothbrush (not the one you brush your teeth with. This could make for a funny taste in your mouth). Wipe it dry with a soft cotton cloth, or towel. |

If James Bond can punch guys and run around saving the world for several movies, you can jog and take a long shower with your Sub. I do!

Remember when you wipe off the crystal you have to do it counter clockwise. Wiping it clockwise will shred the crystal into a million little pieces!

Don't think I can add much to what has been said, however...

As a final note, it is my understanding that the surfactants in some soaps can, over time (and a long time I suspect), damage the gaskets that seal the case. Chemicals in the soaps can cause them to degrade a little faster than they normally would over time - just be mindful of this if you are soaping it up in the shower. Best bet is to simply get your watch pressure tested once a year or so if you plan on using it frequently in the water. That is the best way to have peace of mind that you won't have any water intrusion in the case. Most folks who actually use their Subs for recreational diving follow this practice as there is more risk of water intrusion with depth. |

Yes. The only concern is showering below a 1000 ft.

You can do the highland fling, in a blizzard, with neiparm smeared on your knackers, whilst reciting the boy stood on the burning deck, if you want too, your Rolex can take it all in It's stride bud...

Yes, i run about 15 to 20 miles a week with it on. Running longer distances however makes it run slightly faster.
