getting your watch dirty

do you guys take your watches off for dirty/manual labour? or do you guys just keep it on and wear it like a champ?

If I'm doing something dirty, I'm already wearing a watch that's down with the sickness.

Gardening, yes. DIY, yes. Walking the dog, yes. Sleep, yes. Shower, no.

yup same here!

Dirt generally washes off. Damage not so much. The real answer is in the question will I need to know the time, and will pocketing it be a bigger hassle/risk than not?

·

Depends which watch I'm wearing. If I know it's gonna be hard work I wear my G Shock or my Duro.

Depends, ever since a mishap while wearing a ring I don't wear anything that can catch on things while using power tools or DIYing. If I'm just doing some minor things like gardening I might leave it on. I mostly want to avoid the hassle of properly cleaning the watch after

Whenever I know I’m going to be doing some labor intensive (and possibly a watch threatening) work, I always take out my G Shock and go full in, no fear.

Yes. I try to plan for the day, but sometimes, life happens.

So whatever is picked in the morning, gets worn for the daily grind and/or adventure...

Whether that's the range, demolition, cooking dinner, or bath time.

Heck yea get dat sucka dirty clean it later.

I'm a little careless with my watches. Gold is an exception.

I put my watches through the mill and keep them on. Unless we are talking about the moonswatch I own. Gotta take that watch off if I’m doing something hands on. But if it steal then it’s subject to harsh conditions on my wrist anyways 🤷🏾
