Wearing Automatic Watches while playing Sports (Golf and Badminton) ???

Dear forumers,

I am a golfer and a badminton player, I was adviced to take off any automatic watches while playing golf. Due to the fact that the small components inside the watch might get lose and damaged. Is it a logical explaination ??

I am looking for a daily beater that I can wear everyday, even playing golf and badminton. So I don't have to take it down and look for a place to put it.

Any suggestion which watch (brand) is suitable for this purpose??

Sincerely,
RolexSunday

I think Tiger wears a Tag. Tag did design a watch specially for golf and endorsed by Tiger. As long as the watch is shock resistant, I think there should not be problems wearing during golf. Only thing is you heartache if the watch is scratched or dent during play.

I think he recently endorses Rolex Skydweller, but he never wears any watch during tournament play.

Yes, many years ago he did design a golfing watch with Tag. It is a Quatz watch. His relationship with Tag has broken now since his famous scandal two years ago.

Yes, perhaps he was no longer endorsing the model, but the model is still available. I forgot whether it's automatic or quartz. Anyway, thanks for the info.

He doesn't endorse crap.... he was given it and a heap of cash to say on video "wow this is perfect, and wow it's my size" LOL

I played foosball with Sub, Ingenuier and GS. So far ok. These watches went thru snapping motions or shocks on my wrist.

1 other watch I tried the date skipped a few days ahead

Justin henin, the former women tennis world no. 1 used to wear a datejust and play tennis. Nadal wears a rm tourbillion while playing as well.

Yes but if I get paid to wear I also wouldn't mind haha. But then again, the question by ts was if it's ok to wear an auto while playing badminton and golf. And I was just quoting some examples la.

[roguehog]

tiger woods and roger federer use the same sports agent. that's why most of the brand they endorse are the same - nike, rolex, gilette...

yeah but he doesnt wear it on the main forehand / service arm where most of the shock is.
But its probably one of the endorsement conditions I guess....

If you really want to wear automatic watch and scare, then get a Wyler Automatic...
