Yes, most definitely 'A'. My Turtle loves the beach 🏖
On my wrist 24/7 no matter what.
That’s what Casios are for….
Why get a dive watch or pick out something that specifically has more that 150 m resistance if you're not going to make it do what it was made for? Excluding vintage of course. Unless gaskets have been replaced and tested. Thats just me though. If I ever go to space I'm taking my Lunar Pilot.
Naw, that's an all day affair where time will be irrelevant. Also, I don't treat watches like pets or children that need outings.

Beach life is different from diving life. The abrasive sand can scratch your watch and gets stuck in the darnedest places 😊

Agreed. I was at the beach this summer and got sand under my Invicta's bezel. Filled the sink with water, stuck it in there and rotated the bezel and it all came out. Bezel 120-click still works like a dream. 👍
I always wear a watch but would probably avoid taking one on my vintage watches to the beach.
I wear my watches everywhere. The only exception is the bracelet, which would get swapped out for a rubber depending on the environment.

I'll wear any of my water resistant watches to the beach for a party, wedding, event or casual fun where no serious activity is contemplated but if I'm actually planning to do something more active where the watch could potentially be damaged or lost, that's the reason/ excuse I used to get a beater diver (divers actually) in the first place (even though at my age and size, I am no longer that active). I'm actually looking to get the oxymorinic nice beater now for all those more formal active risky beach/ ocean activities that I never do.
Ever since I dropped by $5k camera into salt water, I'll only take beater or g shock near the ocean. That was a traumatic experience haha.
Yes.
I always enjoy burying my watch in the sand, and then washing it off with salt water.
Just what I did today 😛
Special thanks to my Citizen Promaster Diver Titanium
That basically the purpose of my SKX although this is not a beach shot.
Everytime I'm there and it's a lot.
My diver is almost essentially my beach watch. It's on a full steel bracelet so it's kinda flashy so perfect for beach wear, plus it looks great and is waterproof
I live a mile from the beach. I avoid the beach at all costs. 🤣 If I was forced to go, I'd probably just wear my G-Shock.
