Re: I'm on the fence here, SMP purchase?
In Response To: I'm on the fence here, SMP purchase? ()

: I tend to be a one watch guy, and wear my watch
: 24/7; to the office, and around the home
: (painting, yard work, home repairs, etc),
: and I'am wondering how many SMP owners wear
: your SMP's as an everyday beater, or just
: wear it as an occasional casual/dress watch?

: Thank you.....marcb

I take mine off when doing activities which _might_ damage it with no enjoyment involved; painting, any form of sawing or hammering, taking a shower etc (that's what the Casios/Vostoks of this world are for), but always keep it on for off-road biking, beach volleyball, marathon drinking sessions, etc.

Otherwise it is 24/7 all the way... 'cept I have just taken delivery of a Speedbird II so it'll get some downtime now ;-)

Cheers, Allen.
