Using watermarks is a pure personal choice thing. There are no rules and I doubt that anyone would think less of you if you did.

You know, that's good to hear.
My "plan" (i.e. vague hope for the future) is to use the maps I am working on for a novel/series I've been working on (knowing full well my chances of publication are slim). As a writer, then, I'm plagued with all sorts of irrational fears. I knew that too much watermarking was kind of a sign of paranoia... but if it's a small thing, I thought, maybe others wouldn't mind it too much, and it would address some of those irrational, authorial fears and keep them under control...
Albeit, my lack of any maps in however long it's been aren't a result of my own watermark/no watermark dilemma: that's attributable to the glacial pace at which I've been working - a different dilemma altogether!
I think, therefore I am a nerd.

Pimping my worldmap here. Still WIP... long way to go, but I'm pretty proud of what I've done so far...
@Karro.
There's invisible watermarks you can use in digital files.
They don't obscure your art ... and so they don't look paranoid at all ... because they're invisible!
Venus Public Transit, Map Of Ceres, Jack Vance's Ports Of Call & Lurulu ... why do I only have 3 maps here?
