I do.
And when I travel, since not sure if cities are safe, I use this other one.

I try my best to be coordinated. That’s the best protection for my watch. If that doesn’t suffice, then I deserve the scratches.

I recommend these. They come in different colors and will look great on a platona or the new gmt.

This 100%

Took a tumble wearing my 16613; without it, I probably would’ve needed stitches the way I landed on my arm.

This guy "Esquire Life" seems to think so.

Favorite part of the video is around 2:52 when he says "this is a big representation of me" and the video cuts to him applying some silly cleaning spray to a little piece of plastic.
Oh man, stick on watch condoms. This f'in world has gone to shit.

Well, sort of.

When I was a kid I wore SWATCH's. I had the exact crystal protector like in the picture below. I see many here remember.

I purchased a bunch of these for all my watches and they work great especially on the Rolex. Don't worry, they have other colors too.

I highly recommend them. No, I know what you're thinking. You won't look like a douche. Trust me.

Also, the way some folks write their posts makes you wonder if they can even tell time on a non-digital watch. Yes Billy Bob, them Rolodex are very nice watches.

I dont protect/decal mine. Its fine i people wants to protect their watches to keep it in pristine condition so they can always admire it and be reminded how it looks when newly bought. Either way, nobody except WIS will notice our watches so go ahead and cover your watches if that makes you happy.

+1. I take care of my watches but if I would be afraid of scratches to that extent I would reflect if Im out of my price tier for ownership.

Awesome! Full shock absorbing protection and wildly improved looks to boot. You, sir, are a genius.

Imagine you are face to face with a supermodel, she smiles at you kindly and says: “nice watch. What is that thing on it?”

For those OCD types that have destickered their watches, you can pay $90 for new stickers!
