In Response To: Poll: Do you wear your SMP diving, swimming, etc? ()

I wear my watch everyday but DO NOT wear it when swimming, washing the car, mowing the lawn, etc. Basically it is my everyday watch that is worn during all activities except those in which it could get dirty or wet.

I know this is a diver's watch and that it CAN be worn for swimming and diving, but I just can't see using a $1750 watch for those purposes. Like you, this is my only "nice" watch, so I want it to stay that way as long as possible. I can thoroughly enjoy wearing it everyday without having to subject it to sporting activities.

For swimming, diving, or other sports I have a cheap but reliable Casio quartz watch. If it breaks, so what? I'll just go buy another one. I don't have the same attitude about a $1750 Omega watch.
