Do you all take your expensive watches on vacation? I am too scared to lose it or damage it. Wear it all the time to events but wondering how you all travel with them.

Depends on the location I’m traveling to. If sketchy I wear my beater.

Insure your watches and enjoy them

20% of getting robbed for your watch is losing your watch. The other 80% is being victim to a violent crime. Maybe they ask you politely for your watch. Maybe they put a gun in your face (good luck not having ptsd from that trauma). Maybe they bash you in the head trying to incapacitate you: Maybe you just get a lump; Maybe you die; Maybe you don’t die you just become a vegetable. Or if they don’t have a gun, maybe they have a knife and slash your wrist.

The point is, it’s not enough to just think “well I have insurance so I’ll be fine.” Don’t wear (tens of) thousands of dollars in jewelry on your wrist in a bad area

Depends on where I am going. For most business travel, I dont worry too much bc I am usually not walking the streets along at night. But the world seems to have gotten more dangerous since the pandemic, maybe not a bad idea to be more careful.

Wore mine to Cancun. all the tourists wear their watches. Just don’t walk around drunk and vulnerable at 3am and you’ll be fine

Strictly depends where I’m going- most places in domestic US i’ll wear whatever. Internationally, unless i’m out in Dubai / Nice / Monaco or whatever, I’ll take something much more low key.

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?
