: Also, can anything be done about small

: Why would my Seamaster scratch? Maybe it's

Technically you could wear the watch in the shower, but the hot water/soap combo can spell trouble for the gaskets and seals on the watch. Soap reduces the surface tension of water making easier to get into the watch. Hence I do not wear my SMP 007 in the shower.....However, I also own a Seiko diver which I wore 24/7 before getting the SMP. I wore the Seiko in the shower everyday for the better part of ten years, with no problems. But the Seiko would be a lot cheaper to repair/replace than the SMP. In your place, I probably wouldn't wear the SMP to the gym at all.
