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

Chewbacca · 18 March 2016, 08:11 AM

Sure! A Rolex is a wis' rubber ducky.

Ian Macdermott · 18 March 2016, 08:17 AM

Never ever take it in the bath.

It might get wet.

SCsailor · 18 March 2016, 08:22 AM

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.

Dont see a need either to bathe with it..
Just my 2 pennies, to each their own (way)

VinnieVegas · 18 March 2016, 08:46 AM

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.

Bafflingbs · 18 March 2016, 11:17 AM

Showers are the only time mine comes off.

Roselló · 18 March 2016, 11:22 AM

Some times.

mrricks · 18 March 2016, 11:30 AM

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?

blue lion · 18 March 2016, 11:38 AM

Do I? No. Could I? Yes.

farmer1234 · 18 March 2016, 12:29 PM

I shower, swim and sleep with my turn o graph every time, no problem at all

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

Ruud Van Driver · 18 March 2016, 12:58 PM

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.

Laszlo · 18 March 2016, 01:20 PM

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.

kirksingleton · 18 March 2016, 01:47 PM

Every day!

Robrob777 · 18 March 2016, 01:50 PM

All the time, no problem. Looks skinnier after i dry it.

jeffgo888 · 18 March 2016, 01:59 PM

Imagine if you suffered the Indignation of a "LEAK" while in the shower..
wearing YOUR DSSD...!

OMG!....LOL

This! lol....

Secretariat · 18 March 2016, 02:27 PM

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.

HogwldFLTR · 18 March 2016, 02:28 PM

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.

Punishher7 · 19 March 2016, 07:59 PM

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...

Muzz · 19 March 2016, 08:53 PM

I take it off as I do not want soap scum in the clasp, looks gross after a week

1William · 19 March 2016, 08:56 PM

No, I do not.
