Got a new wetsuit yesterday.  Swam in it today and it was very good.  Here's the question.  The sleeves are quite tight and the material is fairly thin.  Do you wear your watch over the wetsuit and take it off and back on in T1? 

Will the sleeve stretch enough without ripping if I pull it off over the watch?  Surely someone has figured this one out.

Thanks.

You will have to be careful with your watch/chip.  My sleeves are short on my arms so my watch is not covered.  I believe some people cover their watch with the sleeve so when they take it off it does not rip the suit but make it unvisiable for the swim.

Watch & timing chip under the sleeves/legs of the wetsuit. You probably won't be looking at your watch during the swim, so it shouldn't pose a problem.

Both under wetsuit.  Wont be looking at watch and with chip under suit, the turds trying to overtake you wont be able to pull the chip off.
