Do you remove your watch, to avoid a Tan line ?

Post by magicman »

Now the sun's making a welcome appearance, I was wondering, who removes there watch, to avoid a Tan line ?

I don't, as it's normally covered by a watch anyway.

Watch stays on. Don't care much about a line on my wrist.

On holiday, I alternate wrists on alternate days. Otherwise no.

Nope, although if sunbathing on holiday I wouldn't be wearing a watch but between having a nearly 2 year old and a global pandemic holidays seem a distant memory!

Still not sure if this is a joke thread or not.

If not then my answer between chortles would be a resounding 'no'.

I was a ranga (ginge) until my hair turned brown around 11yrs old. I get a tan line when I open the fridge so I pay no attention to tan lines. On holiday, my "tan" is that bad, I often look like im wearing a Sunderland shirt!

Interesting habits though folks....!

I’m Scottish- having a tan line is a cause for celebration! :lol:
watching you fail in your quest for a “one watch” has been great entertainment

If I did that, how would I gauge the progress of my tan?

So that’s a no for me.

I'm kinda redhead, my 'tan' looks like the average person does in winter so this is not something I have to worry about.

Hahaha yes this for me too. Being Scottish is a bigger bugbear when you live in the Southeast. The sun was out for two days in May (or was it April?) and I looked like Spongebobs mate Patrick afterwards :lol:

I only remove my watch when I go to bed, swim or take a shower. Can't risk getting my watches wet especially my desk divers.
