Do you guys wear expensive dress watch on vacation or leave it at home? I wear cheapo watch on vacation while I hide my nice watch in safe place at home. I don't want to attract attention on vacation.

I wear a cheapo watch all the time.

I wouldn't bring an expensive watch on vacation unless for a good reason (like maybe I'm going to visit with watch buffs, or go to a dress-up event where the fancy watch is part of the outfit, etc). If I did bring a fancy watch, I certainly wouldn't wear it except during the specific occasions where it was called for. The rest of the time I'd wear my plastic digital.

Who needs a watch? My cell phone tells the time if I need to know it. Otherwise, there are clocks everywhere. <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I have a really expensive swiss watch that I only wear within the country. I wouldn't wear it for business trip or vacation to anther country. There is too much crime and terrorism around the world nowadays that I don't want to be murder victim of mugging too.

I?ve collected some nice, not to flashy watches from wellknown manufacturers during the years.
For what reason I?ve bought those great pieces of craftmanship? Definitely not to bury them in a safe! <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
Next time someone told me not to wear my shoes because I might be mugged for them...?

I have the ability to fashion a sundial out of natural materials found almost anywhere, therefore I don't wear a watch. It is a very valuable survival skill. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I have a TAG and I wear it all the time. I don't buy quality things not to use them, whether it's a watch, flashlight or gun. Realistically, the most important time to have your best gear is when you are away from home.

I wear what I feel appropriate for the trip. I usually wear an Omega Seamaster Pro, black face which really doesn't look expensive. If I am camping or hiking I usually take a Casio G-Shock. I have travelled the world wearing a Rolex GMT Master with no one ever bothering me for my watch. I do not own any gold watches, don't like them. Maybe they would attract attention by unsavory types, I dunno. Only reason I ever leave an expensive watch at home is to protect it from me beating it up:)

I've lost more watches than anyone because I frequently take them off during work (every classroom has a clock). Besides the students are always aware of the exact time that class is over (but fail to keep track of the starting time.) <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

When I used to travel on business for a living, my watch of choice was a simple timex with an alarm. I'm honestly more concerned about functionality and dependability than style.

Besides, a cheap watch allows more money for other gear <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
