    I have a similar issue. I have a holiday coming up which includes a family wedding so I need a smart watch to wear on the wedding day but something casual and robust for the beach and day to day. I am thinking Omega SMP plus my G-Shock but I also need my running watch as I hope to fit a few runs in during the week. That's at least 3 I need (want) to take!

    Always travel with 2 watches sometimes 3 if it's a long holiday. :D I try to tailor my watch choices to what or where I'll be going too. It's usually a g-shock, a smart casual and a diver.

    As above
    PRS-3 is my main holiday watch - on a nato.
    The Italian comes along for dress occasions.
    and a quartz beater for back-up.

    The 2-slot travel case Eddie supplies is ideal

    Dornbluth Gorck Fock 1. Might be hard to source by the weekend, though.

    Panama Canal/Caribbean cruise earlier this year. I took PO 45.5mm on rubber with orange stitching/deployment and Seiko Tuna.
    On board prices and prices on the islands (St. Maarten etc) too expensive.

    Always 2. Something for the beach/water like a diver or a G-shock, then something nicer for the rest of the time.

    I can sympathise unfortunately. I always pack at least an extra watch regardless of the trip's duration.

    $35 dollar Timex for the beach and seawater. Two nice watches back at the hotel in the safe for happy hour and evening.

    Really, you guys :roll:


    Going away?

    Pick watch to wear

    Leave house 8)

    Not too hard is it?!?!?







    Well, it isn't if having previously spent a few hours debating which watch that would be, plus which one to pack for "back-up" and, if going away for "awhile", which one is the back-up's back-up!

    Once you've decide which watches to take, you then have to decide on the straps - too warm for rubber, potential for swimming not good for leather. And then do you take the spring bar too? In hand luggage?
