I guess my real question is how you can be more annoyed by people wearing watches than all the pasty white english people in speedos? yuck. [/ QUOTE ] Speedos are a german thing not english

Re: People who wear watches in the pool
I carry a pocket watch and never know what to do with it when I go to the gym pool. If anyone knows where I can find a stylish vest that dries quickly that I could wear while swimming, please PM me.

Re: People who wear watches in the pool
i have never seen yeti get flamed on 2+2 before this.
i didn't think the op was bad at all. when i was a kid i always used to notice that Cuban guys wouldn't take off any of their eleven necklaces when they went into the ocean. oh yeah, public swimming pools are nasty. you are much better off sneaking into a hotel swimming pool which always has nicer scenery fwiw.

[ QUOTE ] In general I imagine that most people that do this just think it's easier to keep it on than worry about someone stealing it out of a locker. [/ QUOTE ] But they will happily put their car keys in the locker? Heh. [/ QUOTE ] which is more likely to get stolen? Which is more likely to be recovered if stolen? Which are you more likely to be reimbursed for if not recovered?

Re: People who wear watches in the pool
[ QUOTE ]
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. [/ QUOTE ] This is me too. Why bother taking it off? Just makes it more likely to get damaged/lost/stolen.

Re: People who wear watches in the pool
It's probably a dive watch. It belongs in the water!
