It set off the metal detector at the airport

Ive been thru this airport many times (Roatan Honduras)... and never set it off...even when I went thru it in Jan it didn't set it off but yesterday it did.....Guess they are getting more and more sensitive...... Kinda weird that a 3rd world countrys did but Kansas city nor Houston's went off when I went thru them....

It should have pinged every time. So much for the stealth watch.

My Sub nor GMT sets it off--must be more sensitive in certain areas.

My big old PAM did not even set off the machines at Dulles or SFO recently...

My Milgauss and Navitimer never sets off the detectors in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia or San Francisco. Seamaster was fine in Tampa too...glad to see there is consistency - our security measures are always one step ahead!!

The times they are a changin' (Dylan).

Used to be I could put my wrist up at center mass and walk through. Now the machines are catching it. Perhaps security is becoming more secure.

Yep, certain machines are set for tighter restrictions and will catch your watch.

I hate taking my watch off and seeing it go into that tunnel...
