Who wears a watch at the gym?

I like watches. But I have nothing that would be good for the gym even though they may be "sports" watches. I dont see myself doing power cleans with a nice watch with a metal band. But perhaps one with a rubber band. Do you guys wear them or just no watch?

 

The timekeeper wears a watch at the gym and people that run on treadmills often do as well, unless they have an I-pod or some such.

 

There's a clock on the wall.

 

Your gym doesn't have clocks? Or is this a fashion decision?

 

I couldn't imagine doing cleans with a watch on. I think it would be very uncomfortable/would throw my form off.

 

Not just to see the time. Ive done that with the cell. Its just that I like watches. Watches are for fashion for most. For fans of watches they are about your relationship with time.
Ive never lifted while wearing a watch but I have my eye on a couple of Tag Hueuer chronographs and I thought damn, it would be cool to keep track of time between DE sets with it. I like watches and it sounds weird but I just realized that I never wear one while doing what I like to do the most.

 

I just use my cell to keep time. It also has a stopwatch app that is tremendously useful. I can understand a man's need to be constantly flossin', but there are more practical methods.

 

Unless you're doing conditioning, and your watch is part of a HR monitor, or your timing laps or something, don't wear a watch at the gym.

 

Sounds like something that will just take your focus off training. Also there is a strong possibility that it would be damaged at the gym.

 

Ipod or clock on the wall.

 

take it off

 

This. Why would you risk damaging a Tag if you don't need to?

 

i wear a HR monitor watch like this http://www.polarusa.com/sites/default/files/ft1_topleft_500x500.jpg
i use if for cardio, not lifting, but leave it on anyway and never have problems

 

Deep man, you just blew my mind!

Seriously tho I couldn't imagine doing any gym activity witch a watch on. I don't generally like wearing watches anyway!

 

I wear my everyday Casio G Shock. The clocks in my gym are often wrong and I need to keep track of my lunch hour. The G Shock is pretty tough so I don't have to worry about damaging it too much.

 

Clock, wall /Thread

 

I never wear a watch.

 

I never used to, because funnily enough, I would always end up looking at the time. Now I can't imagine not wearing one.

 

i always do

 

i wear a suunto watch with a heart rate monitor,. it helps tell you to stop before your heart explodes to pcs,..

also helps you to push more as you wont achieve much if you dont reach that heart rate level (or zone)
