My God two watches on holiday with me? That's one watch immediately lost.
I'm still sweating over the near loss of the my Great White in Sharm. There was chaos at security the trays went one way and we were sent in a different direction then wholesale panic as people scrambled for their possessions.
To answer the question, holiday in Menorca with Great White on dark blue Isofrane a match made in heaven
I never wear one for going through security now after a similar experience. I just keep them well down in the hand luggage in travel pouches. I think I will take three this time (it's for three weeks, after all. Daily wearer will be Glycine Lagunare with Mango dial, plus a Hulk and Seamaster Vancouver Olympics 2010 for evenings. Haven't had the Seamaster out of the box for a long time, as I've kept thinking of selling it, but it's time it saw daylight.
No idea.
Took my Dreadnought Voyager to Indonesia diving, but next trip is to the Azores and I'm not sure about the time difference.
Might give my Hydroconquest a run again. Smart enough for evenings, but up to diving too.

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
Last year in Icmeler Turkey, Its the normal travel watch already done Vagas & Venice
it will be in Menorca in September.
This new guy and a G-Shock will do nicely.
Sorry I haven't got a clue, I never read the instructions just play with it for three months getting it to work properly. I'm at sea level and it still thinks I'm 80ft in the airOriginally Posted by FellBasher
Depends on the holiday, currently this in Mallorca
This one in Bali last year
this one in Portofino last year (and no they're not my feet)
And this one in Puglia in 2014
how can you wear anything else at any time but that IWC its perfect?
In 5 weeks I will be in the canaries with my GMT Goodplanet on Isofrane for the day and my 116613LB for the evening, my wife will only be taking her explorer as she only has 1 watch !
My main travel watch is this titanium t touch. Bomb proof for the beach (its not had a charmed life yet it still goes on and on!), you can de-sync the hands and digital for 2 time zones, and I have actually used the compass more than once to get my lost arse back to safety!
Evening wear most recently is my Black Bay Blue.
I suspect it will be this again, but I'll put it on the bracelet. Unlikely to attract unwanted attention, tough enough for beach/pool but smart enough for evening too.
Currently on holiday with family in Canada.
This one for the rough.
This one for the smooth.
Quite like that, do you mind providing the model number if you know it?I am very glad I didn't sell this one now, I wore it for most of June the longest I have worn one watch in years.
It was either this or the CWC Q diver as this is cheaper and is on Eddies excellent 2 piece nylon it had to be.
plus its solar and I was heading for the sun.
I will only ever take Quartz on holiday as I don't wear a watch when I am riding my motorcycle.
I wore it like I did before I had a real interest in watches,that is without worry day or night swimming or whatever.
Seiko SSC015P1
SSC017P1 for the black/blue and SSC019P1 for the Pepsi...
G-Shock
2 with me this week - one for swimming/kayaking and the other for retro
I usually bring my SMP
Most of our holidays are cruises and I take a BLNR and Orange PO for evening and the Black Bay Black for daytime, here it is surveying the ranks of fallen strawberry daiquiris in the solarium!
For a beach holiday I just take my Barbos Stingray, it's built like a tank!

I'm with you, nothing better than a G-Shock for a holiday watch.
I need my 5711 on holiday. I haven't had a holiday in a long time that did not involve a trip to a watch shop. I know what we wear shouldn't make a difference in shop assistants' attitude, but in my experience it does.

The Bathys looks great! never seen one of these actually, awesome!This new guy and a G-Shock will do nicely.
Aerospace Evo is my go-to holiday watch. I spent ages trying various GMTs, but in the end got an Evo, and haven't looked back. Dual time display, alarm, water resistant to a sensible depth. Smart, yet subtle enough, can't see me using any other holiday watch for a good while.
BLNR on a Royal Blue NATO.
Some day soon I'll conquer photo uploading and show.
My holiday watch.
Yep I quite agree
That's very eye-catching. Is that the model the urban gentry guy has and raves about? 1521?My holiday watch.

Thanks, Yea i believe it's the same model/colour combo that he wears, they do a bead blasted case version with a matt blue dial too but not seen that one in person.
This one - rugged and inexpensive enough not to worry about, nice enough that I enjoy wearing it!
I take just my quartz SMP 300 on holiday. Easy time zone change and nice and robust, that's what I bought it for.
If only we could restrict ''which holiday watch'' to only one thread a year.
What a cracking combo that is.
My G-Shock did me proud over the last 2 weeks following the Tour De France, including cycling up Mt Ventoux
I'm off to Canada next week and I will take my Scurfa Silicone One - its a great grab and go watch.
Looks great! Where is the strap from?

It's a Eulit Panama in grey, had to go to Uniqlo for the matching shorts though (a coincidence I assure you!)...
Taking more than one watch on holiday seems a daft idea to me. Take one with a modest value, keep it on your wrist , pop it in wifey's handbag at airport security.
Be honest, does having more than one watch add anything to your holiday enjoyment? ....... Does it add enough pleasure to justify the security risk?

DW 5600 tough solar G-shock for the beach & for going anywhere 'risky' - with the dual-time convenience of the Dunhill DM7 for evening wear: http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.ph...ill-DM7-review
One that's water resistant (guaranteed) for swimming and a vintage for nights out
I'd feel be comfortable swimming or on the kayak with my Arnie
I've sent you a PM on how to upload photos I can now do it after days of frustration
I'll be taking this one on my next holiday. Waterproof to 100m, newer shock resistant movement - goodness if it can go up Everest . . . Also, I'm not selling this one as its a 'mile-stone' watch for me so every scratch dink and scrape will stay with me. Fully insured in case of accident or theft and it looks the dogs do-dahs.

Sounds like the Seiko skx007/9 is the perfect watch particularly on rubber. Sturdy, water resistant and nice and colourful if you go 09. if you lose it, it might be gutting but not a disaster
Rolex 16800 - and has been for the last 19 years
Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

Just left base for a three month european tour and restricted myself to three watches:
Bremont Supermarine 500 on rubber
Omega Speedmaster 3570.50 on leather
Omega Speedmaster 3551.20 on bracelet
Having read through this thread I'm now regretting leaving my SMP Bond behind!
I took these two on my very recent holiday. The Suunto was purchased for this very purpose but on day two the strap failed, so the Panerai got full time usage after all
Jealous. That is all......

On a beach in wales,don't ask me the name I can't pronounce it let alone spell it,though it does start with 2 LLs
And music to suit Elvis just after the beastie boys on my iPod
Thanks, that appears to be great value at 154 quid delivered.. good holiday/adventure beater!
Dont take one on Holiday and it gives a great excuse to going shopping for one
Only ever take one on holiday. I chose between:
Relatively safe destination / activities = Omega SMP
Questionable destination / activities = £30 Seiko 5 on a nato
This new arrival will be accompanying me on my hols this year. I like a little bit of colour in a holiday watch and this seems like a good candidate for a bit of beach time, some walking in the hills, relaxing at the pub, etc.
