Even tools need to be taken care of...
I am sure many here have more than one watch. Almost all my watches get worn now and then and there are watches to wear and there are watches to beat. Except for the daily wearer, the other watches are worn carefully. I say to take the PO along and wear it carefully. Salt and lotion are no problem since you can wash them off but sand is going to scratch that AR coating, case and bracelet, might get stuck inbetween gaps of the bracelet, crown and bezel too.
