Why wouldn't you wear a watch on vacation? If wearing a watch is a chore than watch collecting is not your forte and maybe you should be interested in something else.

This ^ is how I feel about it all, also.

I can’t understand the lust for buying a watch, then to be too scared to wear it incase if scratching it.

Wow, I didn’t realize that my lighthearted question would provoke such harsh reactions!
Yes I love watches, but yes sometimes it’s nice to disconnect at the lake. You’ll be happy to know tgat I did take my watch with me.

My vacations normally involve being in a specific place 100 miles away at a specific time navigating from poor maps before the police close the surrounding roads, so yes.

I was going to say "How do know when your favourite bar has opened?" But by your lake, and where I go, the bar is permanently open 😎

Take these 3 and have all bases covered.
They all get a hot towel at the end of the flight? 😉

Before you get banned for having suggested that there is a circumstance where wearing a watch is not necessary 😝, do you think I could borrow your lake house someday? I’d tidy up after myself. 😗

Unfortunately, unlike the watch, the lake house is a rental.

If you have an away from the home insurance policy that covers your high value items take a nice watch or two with you.
If you don’t then don’t.
I think I use my watch more on holidays because there is no structure to the day so I don’t care what time it is but when I’m asked or need to check the time for reference I have a watch on.

I do because I couldn't go without a watch for an extended period of time. I also tend to really use my watch when on vacation especially in a different timezone

I only take one on holiday. I never take anything I consider irreplaceable.

As requested, here’s the view to the lake. I decided to wear a chrono, not for timing the speed boat, but rather for timing the beer shotguns.

I had to lay on the kitchen table to see the pic but excellent first impression of your vacation watches

My wife gifted me a 3-watch roll a couple years ago and it comes with me on every extended trip.

I know it’s going to be an especially good vacation when the roll goes in my suitcase holding only 2 watches.

I never go anywhere without a watch. The best ones go in a safety deposit box and I wear one of my vintage beaters at the cottage.

Of course, they need holidays too & being classically British wearing them acts as a good guide that I have caught some color in the sun 😎 before inevitably returning to my usual pasty complexion!

perhaps we are due for a WRUWWV —what are you wearing while vacationing thread... 😎
