Ah, if I'd know that I would have left it inside because it was a real pain. Was my first time through DXB. Since I have Pre-check I had packed it all the way at the bottom of my suitcase so I was annoyed to have to pull it out. Oh well, will know for next time.
The watch was no big deal, just wasn't used to having to remove it - not only in the USA at precheck lanes but even coming from European cities as well as Hong Kong I never removed it.
