Yes, shower, sauna, bath. Taking it off increases the risk of it falling on a tile floor

No. I used to shower with my watch on daily until one day I removed the band and saw how much soap scum had built up.

I take my watch off when I come home in the evening, and I put it back on in the morning after I am dressed. Never wear it in the shower.

Never, never in the shower, but it does go in the hot tub every night.

I only take mine off to go to work.....that's when I put on something less noticeable (conservative co). Other than that, it's on day, night, and everything in between.

I used to, as well as swimming an hours worth of laps several times a week for over thirty years. Never a problem. Then I foolishly had it serviced by a non AD (BIG MISTAKE). He said not to do it as it is a "vintage" Submariner, (1977), also that using conditioner makes it more vulnerable to leakage. I'm afraid to it now as I don't trust that it was properly sealed. I'm going to send it to an AD to have it checked out.
It's a Rolex after all and it should not have a problem in a shower. It's been my dive watch and has been in deep water hundreds of times. Isn't that what it was built for? |

I shower with it daily as it's on my wrist when I wake up in the morning.

If it's one of those hotel beach showers where I can rinse the sand off before heading back to the room, then yes. At home, no.

I've got so accustom to wearing my Explorer II 42mm that it never leaves my wrist nowadays. I wear it 24/7. It's really beat up now but it looks natural, how a watch should look.

No, I don't wear a watch while I am taking a shower. That is the only time when I don't wear a watch.

Never unless I've worn it while swimming laps. I would always have to take it off to dry; easier to take it off and place it securely prior to showering.

A few times a week yes. I do pull it off near the end though to rinse it off. Recently I have noticed soap scum on the crown tube so I may rethink the practice...
