Problem(?) with my SMP Chrono bracelet..

Hi All,

I need your advice :

While jogging with my SS SMP Chrono , I also shadow box. After about 2 left jabs, the extension clasp becomes unhinged. At first, I didn't notice this until removal of the watch later. In the extension clasp link, I have tried bending the sharp edge that fits under the pin separating he extension clasp from the main clasp inwards. This seems to tighten the extension clasp
(evidenced by a louder 'click' when securing it), but it still becomes undone after a few sharp
jabs or hooks.

I know the watch is heavy, and this factor contributes to the problem. I don't want to wear
another watch to jog as I use the chrono to time my rounds, but I have presently reverted to wearing my sub.

Do any of you wear your SMP Chrono for sports, and have you experienced the described effect of the extension clasp? What should be done to resolve this?

Your responses / views would be much appreciated.

Thank you and regards,

Chak
