Can "ON" and "DURING" be interchanged in the "on/during the trip"?

I lost my wallet on the trip.

I lost my wallet during the trip.


I went to the beach on my vacation.

I went to the beach during my vacation.


Nothing out of the ordinary happened on my watch.

Nothing out of the ordinary happened during my watch.


Are the ONs in the sentences above being used in the same sense as "on my way to the market"?

Moreover, does "on my vacation" mean "while I was on my vacation"?
