If you have to question yourself concerning your safety, the answer should be clear.

Depends on which part you are traveling to. Here's a link to the US advisory.

No idea, does your watch have a fear of the Ukraine?

No its not safe to leave your house. Stay in bed under the covers to hide from the world is your best bet.

i would be more comfortable being in Ukraine than flying over it. Where you would be going would be fine most likely

Have been to Kiev for work a number of times, really beautiful city and seemed very safe. There are lots of high-end shops for watches etc., but prices are high.

Like any big city, exercise discretion and you'll be fine.

FWIW, I never travel anywhere with an expensive watch, as it is hard to be sure you will always have a safe when going to the gym and I have a fear of losing my watch at airport security.
