If I carry it in my pocket with no bracelet, do you think normal daily activity of walking around, standing up and sitting down, it possibly turning around in my pocket, would be enough to keep it on time?

Probably not. The rotor has to see enough movement to wind the watch typically from the motions of your wrist in daily activity. You pocket may not provide adequate motion.

One way to find out, try it!

I know wearing one when you are roughing in a heating system in new home construction running a Milwalkee SAWZALL is TOO MUCH!

It might work if you carried it in your sock.

I agree, probably not.

I doubt it'll receive the necessary amount of movement in your pocket as opposed to your wrist.

That and Stormy Daniels was how I broke it in the first place.



Actually as mentioned above, I'm pretty sure the sawzall did mean things to it. It's very slow.
I need to speed it up, which I'm doing. Don't feel like constantly removing the bracelet, don't feel like buying a cheap strap for it. Now it's in my pocket, every time I get up I spin it around a few times in my pocket. If that don't work I'll go back to wearing two watches and doing my Christopher Lloyd impression.
