I put my watch in my bag for the scanners, along with the rest of my kit (phone, passport etc). I travel a lot. Never had an issue.

Surely the sensible answer. A small item like a watch could conceivably be lifted from your tray if you’re unfortunate enough to be held up on the human scanners whilst the bag shoots through quickly and gets well ahead of you. But I don’t think anyone would simply take an entire bag out of someone else’s tray. Most of the year, you’ll be leaving the UK wearing some sort of jacket, too - just stick all your loose items in or under that.

Lady Balfour went one step further by not only leaving a Cartier on open display in a tray, she then just left it in the tray. Happily I was checking to see if the kids had left anything behind, and I found it.

I've worn mine on my wrist for the last 10 years with no issue. Never asked to take it off in any country i've been in and all over the internal US.

Admittedly I've never been through Istanbul though
