Answer

How can I avoid watch theft in Mallorca city centres?

The simplest precaution is to keep expensive watches and other obvious valuables out of sight when walking through crowded areas. In Mallorca’s busier city streets, thieves often look for quick opportunities, so less visible jewellery is less likely to attract attention. Staying aware of your surroundings also helps in narrow streets and busy evening spots.
