After my morning workout at the gym, I get dressed for work at the gym.

I have been putting my Rolex inside a THICK sock and place it inside my gym bag side pocket. Can you give me some options to carry my Rolex to the gym? I feel like the sock isn't a wise choice. That my watch might get banged up, or something worse...

Obviously I don't want to put it inside the Rolex box and pack that inside my gym bag. That's kind of bulky.

What do you guys do? I can't be the only one who gets dressed at the gym before work.

thanks!

I wear it on the way to the gym...in the gym...on the way from the gym...and at work ;)

You are taking a risk...

If you must carry it, what about one of these? A member posted these online a while back:

Hey that's a smart choice speed. Thanks.

Norway - you workout with your watch on? That's insanity.

Your EXPII is built to take anything you or your gym can throw at it. I wore my 80's Datejust in the gym and while playing racquetball and water skiing - hot tubs and jacuzzi's - for many years. I am lost as to why you remove it at all ?

I wouldn't be too worried about damaging the watch while lifting weights but I WOULD be worried that the watch might damage my wrist!!

Puffy · 3 October 2010, 07:05 AM

I never take mine off

Sweet! I like it!

We have a gym where I work. Some of the lockers are these tiny cubicles. I place my wallet in there, put my sub on top of my wallet and then lock it up.

Which Gym do you go to, and when will you be there next?

I wore my DJ to the gym when I was allowed to work out lol. I have a baby; now a toddler which is a handful and I don't get out much anymore.

The only risks I ran into was I felt like my SS polished links got scratched at an elevated rate, and that when worn tight I felt like it stretched some or put pressure on my wrist when my muscle was flexed, and if I adjusted the little half expanding link it was too loose and slid around.

My wife wears a gold and diamond rolex or a cartier to the gym, sometimes a breitling. She never takes them off while exercising.

Redbox · 3 October 2010, 08:12 AM

My son-in-law had always been taking his Breitling to the gym and placing it in his locked locker. After a 45 minute work out the watch was gone. To make a long story short there was an employee at the gym with a master key. That guy skipped town after hitting a few lockers. Bottom line leave your watch home or in a locked car in a safe place.

le_baroudeur · 3 October 2010, 08:14 AM

wear it as a necklace! No risk here...

Macro80 · 3 October 2010, 08:17 AM

Safest place is on your wrist. Period.

I don't take my Rolex to the gym; it doesn't like to work out.

I have worn one for years while working out.

An AD I know sells a watch or two every month to replace those stolen from a gym locker.

I purchased three of these for my home safe and for traveling and I absolutely love them. I bought one at Amazon and got the other two locally at the Oakley store. Here is a tip...most people on the forum are recommending the Large size, but I have found that the Small size is a much better fit for the Submariner. It is like it is custom-made for it and the watch does not rattle around as much as in the Large.

MortgageGuy · 3 October 2010, 12:13 PM

I wear mine to he gym, leave it in a locker (locked) while I work put and out it back on when I leave. I am not one bit woried about it being stolen. All my watches are insured... If someone wants it that bad they can have it, I will get a new one... Just my .02

I dont worry about things like this...

I bought the watch to wear, I am certainly not going to leave it in my car or in a sock...

Wear and Enjoy

RolexPete32 · 3 October 2010, 12:15 PM

I do hot yoga and find my air-king is a great watch to wear while working out and showering I never take it off just to sleep. I tried my sub but it is too bulky for me while working out.

Lamone · 3 October 2010, 12:24 PM

For the past 20 years, I've been working out with a Rolex on my wrist. I love it.

Ditto! It is not coming off my wrist at the gym.

Selmer Saxman · 3 October 2010, 12:53 PM

I Don't wear it to the gym. I leave it safely at home with my trained attack cat!

E.Peynado · 3 October 2010, 01:00 PM

If you go the gym with your watch , the safest place is your wrist , if you're afarid to bang it , then leave it at home , never leave it in a locker... , unless insured !

Singslinger · 3 October 2010, 01:46 PM

I always gym with a watch on, Rolex included. Then again, I rarely lift weights.

oneillba · 3 October 2010, 01:56 PM

I can't remember how many broken crystals I've seen in pictures here on TRF because users have taken their watches off and dropped them while in the bathroom, on vacation or at the gym. Mine, I always keep it on the safest place I can think of in those situations -- my wrist!

I have had my Explorer on my wrist almost every day since Feb 1 when I got it. It is on my wrist at work, in the production area of a print shop, and when I go to the gym.
I had a Breitling Superocean for over 10 years, also with stainless steel bracelet. Wore it to the gym and to work. Yes, after 10 years it had quite a few scratches on it. Still gave it a bath every night, with mild soap and tepid water, and it always looked great.
Just wear it and enjoy it!
Cheers,
Carl

Z-Sub · 3 October 2010, 04:51 PM

I pick one that I want to get the bracelet cleaned and after I work out, I wash the watch along with the bracelet. I rotate my watches when I go to gym and they all get a nice clean shower through this type of rotations
