Do you wear a watch?

[Shaitan]

I've done a few practice swings with my watch on before and nearly broke my wrist (not really but that's how it felt). I hate having anything bulky on during golf. No watches, no jewellery, even annoying when I have more then one tee in either of my front pockets (It's better in the back pocket).

 

And for those who need to know the time - look at the shadows from the sun lol

[PixlPutterman]

i do because it helps keep me from going past parallel

[WildcatCoach]

I personally like as little on my hands and wrists as possible. No watches or ID bands.

 

 

 

A buddy of mine just got married last summer and he wears his wedding band while he plays. All my other buddies won't wear their rings because it messes with their grips.

 

 

 

I'm only 25, so hopefully I don't have to worry about the wedding ring problem anytime soon! ;)

;) never take it off. when you pay as much as i did for a watch, i get buried with it.

[SydneyPom]

BIG watch nut here. I have always worn one while playing and it's never bothered me one bit. And I typically play with my Panerai...and that is HUGE. But again, it does not effect me one bit.

Panerai definitely the way to go if you're wearing a JL style get-up... a bit more classic then I like the JLC Reverso Grand Taille (face turned around in honour of those polo playing colonials it was designed for ;) ) when in a more classic rig, GMT Master II or Seamaster for Nike/Adidas gear and IWC (Portuguese Perpetual II - way to big to play in) for the club house - especially for the more upmarket places.

 

I like watches :blink:

Never felt comfortable with a watch on. I was always messing with it and it just became a distraction.

nautica titanium chrono, being a club ho, it's beta and lightweight so doesn't

bug me. burst a few leather straps on impact on old watchs so titanium bracelet is the only thing that handles the huge forces of my 130mph swing

 

(tongue firmly in cheek)

Never leave mine at home.

 

Worn upon left wrist during every round.

[gavthang]

It's so comfy & light, u dun feel a thing....

BTW, i onli wear this when i'm golfing....

[Pinggolf04]

I wear my Rolex. I feel naked without it! (cool)

[jonnyb03]

no watch, no ring, no wallet, no cell phone actually nothing but a tee and divot repair tool and a ball mark.

[Milo]

Depends what time it is.

[CaledoniaKid]

Many of you have some sweet looking watches out there, but I'm surprised. I don't even own a watch and coming in JUNE I'll never again..

 

 

 

That's how I'll tell time and tune out these flock of geese on the course, ringer off so not to be any distraction of course :rolleyes:

[greyman09]

I wear a Livestrong band on my wrist and my wedding ring. I could not wear a watch and play golf.

[littlepingman]

This is one of the nicest looking watches I have seen in a long time. But at 599.99, I think I will have to pass....

[johnj]

I will not wear anything on my wrists whilst playing golf. It doesn't feel 'right' to me and it distracts me when I'm concentrating on my grip/setup etc.

 

Ditto...wedding band comes off as well...J

[dubai_hacker]

I always play with a watch, dont feel any different playing with out without a watch. But my watch is on 24/7 so just got use to wearing it.

[mljones99]

I don't wear my watch on the course because I tend to wear my watches a little loose and don't want them sliding up and down my wrist during my swing.

[theboom]

no watch. i even take off my wedding ring. dont like the bulk.

[BigMike300c]

i where a watch 24-7 my fav watch for the course is my bobby jones with a black rubber strap

[jscw]

This is my golf watch. It stayed in my golf bag most of the time and I only wear it when playing golf.

It's very light, I hardly feels its weight. Besides it is automatic movement. I don't need to worry about battery.

[w8liftr]

No watch for me while playing, although I just received a nice Citizen EcoDrive Calibre 2100 for Father's Day.

[2DOWN3TOGO]

I also wear my watch 24/7. No issues while playing.

[DChesler]

I'm a lefty, I wear my watch on my left wrist, and it only comes off in the shower. I feel strange without it on, and it's a fairly heavy piece too.

[chjoak]

Don't wear any jewelry when playing. I have broken 4 or 5 watch bands and I have never felt comfortable wearing rings when performing any type of physical activity.

[Trxjw]

My cellphone has completely eliminated my need for a watch... don't know if thats a good or a bad thing.

[gopher59]

I just stick the watch in the bag with the cell phone (turned off!).

[blopar]

didn't ......until I found the right watch--TAG Tiger Woods professional golf edition with silastic band and stem on left )to avoid pinching wrist when worn on left wrist). Remember, always play with your watch on or off--as Frank Thomas pointed out on the golf channel website, the watch on your wrist actually acts like a butt end weight and changes the performance/swingweight characteristics of your left arm-shaft "system" .

WooHoo....I use to wear my 44MM PAM 024 Submersible on the course all the time. Never had a problem with it. In fact I don't like playing without a watch Period. Without it I feel like I'm missing something. Nowadays I typically wear a Rolex GMT Red and Black. IMO it's the perfect watch for golfing as it has a nice sporty look to it. :beruo:

[XYB34A]

I use it to time my swing with. Of course even if I buy a cheap watch like a fossil which I wear now. Then I have to special order it to get wristband to fit. And I never wear a ring. Took it off driving out of the church parking lot the first time I got married. LOL maybe thats why I am not today.
