Magic Band on left wrist and Garmin Fenix 5 on right wrist typically, Rolex or Omega if going out to dinner.
Full disclosure: I’m not averse to leaving a watch or laptop in a hotel safe. Yes, I know you can buy a key on the internet, but in my 58 years circling the sun, I’ve never met anyone who’s ever had anything taken from a hotel safe. Apparently it does happen, but it must not be that common. I’ve been known to leave valuables with the front desk at hotels as well. Underlying all that: I have a jewelry rider on my homeowners insurance that specifically covers my watches and my wife’s engagement ring. Everything is photographed and receipts (as well as current appraisals for the ring and one of the watches) are all in our safe at home (insurance carrier has them too).@DonMacGregor My Rolex is not an option as I would not leave it in the room - I don't trust hotel safes and the S/D has daily housekeeping. How do you manage it? I do travel with it for work but it never leaves my wrist.
Love the Watches!I wore a Patek Philippe watch when I dined at Victoria & Alberts and coincidently, Queen Victoria actually helped put Patek on the map in the 1851 when she acquired the first keyless pocket watch.
When in the parks, I have worn a Rolex Submariner or Rolex Daytona.
I'll bring my Datejust 2 or Milgauss with me for evening wear, but I'm usually wearing my Garmic Fenix 7 in the parks.I wore a Patek Philippe watch when I dined at Victoria & Alberts and coincidently, Queen Victoria actually helped put Patek on the map in the 1851 when she acquired the first keyless pocket watch.

If I wear a watch, it's an old Mickey Mouse watch. I bought it on our first visit in l977. It looks like a fake rolex, LOL, but it still runs perfectly. I wore it throughout my nursing career too. The kids in the hospital loved it. I guess they don't make them like they used to. It is a quality piece, not like the junk they sell now.Getting ready for my trip, looking at my watch boxes as this is my last big choice in packing.
I use a "puck" holder that can slip on the watch band or in my pocket so I can use my magicband. If only they made a magic band that had a clock....
