How risky is it to wear the 5120 for skiing ?? Kev

The 5120 seems a little too delicate to endure skiing

If you're as slow and careful a skier as I am, I'd say it's pretty safe to wear it. On the other hand, if you're as clumsy and incompetent a skier as I am, I'd say it's not a good idea at all.

i finally opted for one of the metal G Shock to make sure it's safe. Irony is as i have not worn them for a while, it ran out of battery so i ended up with no watch but this was fine tbh. Cheers, Kev

why not if you wish to, assuming that you will not have nasty falls. Let us know what you decide.

I am not a super extreme skier but will not escape from a few falls. I won’t take it with me Maybe I could wear the DJ but I keep hearing it’s not safe to wear Rolex anymore those days … Thanks! Kev

ski trip and had some spills without problems to this watch😃. On the other hand, I had sore muscles for a while 😓 ...  

Take the Rolex, refuse unattended drinks from women you don't know, have a good time!

Even if you're an expert skier, there are a lot of other ways to damage a watch besides falling. Chair lifts, other skiers, etc.

Prepare for the worse, Don't take it. Falling is the least thing to worry about, but all these "metal" handshakes with lifts, poles, skis, loading/unloading from vehicles, etc are not worth the risk.

As a frequent and avid skier my advice is if you are doing the level of skiing that for you requires a helmet then you don’t want to wear a dress watch. If you have the helmet on wear a sports watch!

...and even in his 70s he's a badass!

Take care of it, and yourself of course ))
