My clasp popped open once when I slammed my hand down hard on a table to make a point.Its unlikely that this would happen often.
Kepp in mind the locking mechanism is only two light weight springs exerting medium tension to both sides of the retaining pin. I don't believe the sprimgs are fully recessed under the cap of that pin when the clasp is closed. A hard jarring motion like my hand slamming could (and did) cause the springs to momentarily disengage and allow the clasp to open. .
The watch didn't fall off my wrist and this was the only occurence in 2 years of ownership.
