My body chemistry EATS watches! Granted, it takes a few years of wear. It erodes the backs of them to where they are unwearable. I had a nice GUESS watch my wife gifted me that we tried to save with clear nail polish on the back to stop the erosion to no avail. Damn, I liked that watch. My father would kill any digital/electric watch he wore within a week. He usually wore mechanical self winding watches for most of his life.
I might not last very long or be very effective but I'll be a real pain in the ass for a minute!
MOLON LABE!

^^^Think about buying a watch screen protector, as are available for many smartwatches.  Trim it to size if it is too large and apply to the back of your watch.  This should prevent or slow down the issue.

You are one lousy risk manager.

Must weigh a ton, too much repetitive stress on those pins.

You must be wearing it on your hammering hand.  Or... oh... uhh... Never mind.

You got me curious so I went ahead and weighed it. It's 6.9 Oz.
