Nope. Timex Ironman

swully · 6 October 2015, 08:02 AM

No Rolex in the gym only my big gold chain tucked in the shirt but visible on the back of my neck.

SLS · 6 October 2015, 08:40 AM

I work out Mon- Fri and I leave the watch at home...safest place for it as I have read too many horror stories of watches getting stolen out of lockers. Plus, I usually where wrist supports when lifting so it would get in the way.

A Rolex is not a tool watch. It's jewelry. And even a Tudor will get crushed, let alone, dinged up if you work out with any real intensity.

Eric Chan · 6 October 2015, 09:25 AM

No. I do mostly weights and they would severely damage the watch.

Bfd70 · 6 October 2015, 09:30 AM

If you can wear a rolex at the gym you're not working out hard enough.

MG288 · 6 October 2015, 12:12 PM

Nope, Usually strap on my Gshock

I wear mine to the gym, but my biggest fear is something else...bracelet stretch. Even with 904L steel, I do worry about stretching the bracelet. Thoughts?

cdnwatchguy · 6 October 2015, 12:27 PM

Gym? Hahahahahahaha!

Already been mentioned but the amount of women farting around in the gym in full make-up does my head in, too.

I go to the gym to train, not pose.

Bracelet stretch comes from wear on the connecting point in the links generally caused by grit and motion not by flexing muscles.

Castor · 6 October 2015, 12:41 PM

When I got my Explorer I didn't think twice about wearing it in the gym. I don't go there to judge or be judged. Some people here are overthinking this... it's a watch over-designed to survive in harsh conditions: were not talking about the Crown Jewels here! In three years of wearing my Rolex to the gym 3 or 4 times a week no one has commented & it's never been dinged by anything! And I am not 'posing' to be noticed by anyone; I go to the gym because as I get older it seems like the best way to stay healthy. I like to keep my body under control & so I don't go smashing into the weights, thus my watch doesn't smash into weights either.

It's a watch...

Umm...There's motion present when working out? And I do feel stress on the bracelet when doing certain exercises, like arm curls, so...

scombs263 · 6 October 2015, 03:08 PM

Never. Won't wear it there and leave it in car or a locker. Asking for trouble.

ajas · 6 October 2015, 06:13 PM

Never when I am at home, however when on business trip I keep my sub on the wrist all the time including gym.

Buesy loves some sweat, nothing to worry about.

My watches and exercise don't mix.

Jari from Finland · 7 October 2015, 12:08 AM

I wear a Rolex at the gym if I go there direct from the work. If I go to the gym from home I leave a Rolex at home and put a cheap watch on my wrist in order to measure the rest between the sets.

Gasoil4ever · 7 October 2015, 12:24 AM

This is good for the FWP thread. 😂

Lol totally agree

DaytonaOriginal · 7 October 2015, 02:41 AM

An Icewatch with a nice orange sec hand so I can time the 30-45 or 60 sec rest intervals.
Completely useless is a Rolex in the gym.....the chance to bang it into equipment is really great especially if you get tired....(that is IF you get tired....lol).

I myself am so focussed that I hardly notice people around me...it is just workout time...no see and be seen.

The Icewatch is a steady companion in my workout bag...the Rolex I put that in a leather container in my briefcase in the car when I go training straight from work.

viper · 7 October 2015, 02:56 AM

To some it's not showing off. It's a nice watch they bought and they just wear it.

I don't think they look into it anymore than that. They probably don't have plastic on their sofa either. It's just a watch.

Rolextix · 7 October 2015, 02:59 AM

I wear my invicta to the gym
