People who wear watches in the pool
Who are these people? I don't get it.
I see quite a few people at the gym pool wearing nothing but swimming shorts and a watch. And I don't mean a digital sports watch that they're maybe using to time their laps, I'm talking nice stainless steel watches. Why wouldn't you just take it off? Do they realise how stupid they look? It's a f'ing pool not a catwalk. I bet some of you on this forum do it. You are probably gonna give the reply 'oh i just never take it off'. I don't take off my underwear either but I normally manage to before I enter the pool. I just don't understand why you'd want to expose a valuable watch to chlorine, steam and shampoo. Please enlighten me.

Re: People who wear watches in the pool
I don't wear a watch to the gym. In most gyms that I have been in, I'd prefer not to leave an expensive watch in a locker so I guess wearing it to the pool is the bets option. Of course, I'd leave the watch at home, but that isn't an option if you go to the gym directly from work.

Re: People who wear watches in the pool
I wouldn't wear it if I were swimming laps because it'd probably get in the way. But if I'm just swimming recreationally I'll usually leave it on. It's waterproof; who cares?

Re: People who wear watches in the pool
These guys probably just want to make sure everyone in the joint knows who the d-bag is.
Like the 1 guy who has to wear the Cowboy hat at the comedy club whenever I'm there Saturday night.

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.

[/ QUOTE ] This is me too. Why bother taking it off? Just makes it more likely to get damaged/lost/stolen.
