Default Re: People who wear watches in the pool

lol, i wear my watch pretty much every time i'm in the pool, which is like 3-4 times a week.

a) i never take it off (it's a $500 watch that, while fairly nice and stainless steel, isn't so nice that i'm anal about protecting it). i don't care about my watch getting beat up - i got a durable one meant to get beat up. mine goes through farrrrrrrr worse punishment in my everyday life than it does in the pool. in fact, i'd say it would last longer if i spent my whole life in the pool than if i took it off every time i went swimming.

b) i like to know what time it is. there's no clock in the pool area, just lap timers that i don't want to trust to be correct (there's no hours, just minutes)

c) it's a diving watch. pool water isn't going to hurt it.
