Since Lockdown i have not wore my rolex

Hi,

Since lockdown i dont even wear my rolexes, infact they been replaced by a fitness watch

I bought a fitbit and started running and biking alot to monitor my health and keep active. I put my watches away and dont intend to wear them anytime soon

Is this just me or anybody else?

I see no reason not to wear my watches, I still need to tell the time.

I wear a watch even in the house. In the house or out in the yard, I wear my Casio. Due to the virus I am home more but, still wear a watch. The Submariner is waiting to go again.........when it's time.

I wear the watch that gives me the best vibe. Haven't worn my Patek since lockdown actually, Sky-Dweller blue and Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Limited have been demanding the most time

I wear my GMT II every day. Part of it is because this keeps some part of my daily routine going. The main part is I just love wearing it!

Sounds like a lot of people just own Rolex watches just to go out in public so others can notice. With everything on lockdown, there is nowhere to “take” your Rolex.

Ive been wearing a Garmin everyday since lockdown.

However, I wind my other watches up every now and then just to give them some exercise

Stay healthy and safe everyone!

The days run together, which is why I wear them more than ever. Plus, I still like to flash a little wrist candy on Zoom and check out everyone else.

I've been working out of my basement and it's freezing down here, so I'm always wearing hoodies & sweaters. Therefore I haven't been wearing my watches as much, because they would just hide underneath my sweater so I wouldn't even be looking at it, really.

Not much at all -- I've been working out of my basement and it's freezing down here all the time, so I've been wearing large hoodies and sweaters every day. Therefore the watch is hiding underneath clothes so I wouldn't have the pleasure to even look at it.

I think most of us would still be wearing our watches even if we were facing the four horsemen

I haven't either.

Working from home in my pajamas. No appointments to keep. The only instance I've needed to know the time in the last 6 weeks was to tune into the NFL Draft.

Far more productive working from home if I get dressed and put a watch on so yes I’m wearing my Rolex.

Wear mine everyday except when cycling. I wear them for my pleasure and not who is looking at them.

I get it if you are at home and feel no need to wear them.
