Been wearing Rolex since 82.

I have never removed them while shooting. I am a recoil junkie.

Been getting authorized Rolex service the entire time, never have they told me shooting or pulse shocks have harmed anything - I asked.

Everyone should do what they think is right, only adding my experience.

I've been wearing an Omega Seamaster pretty much daily for over 18 years. Wear it on duty, at the range, training, etc. Only issue was caused by me as I forgot to take it off while using a hammer drill (about 2 years ago). That was just too much for it. Had a full service done by Omega and unfortunately had to send it back twice within 6 months as it was running erratically. The last time they had it they got it right and it's been great for about 18 months now. Hopefully I will get at least another 18 years of daily wear out of it.

I have shot with my old Sub all the time. I honestly don’t think that much shock goes into the arm, but I probably wouldn’t shoot with a non-tool watch.

With that said, Speedmasters are quite cool, and manually wound - not as water resistant as Rolexes, but should take shock and vibration better.

I’m debating about getting one of the 8 day manual wind Panerais, but that’s because they come in titanium and I have developed a nickel allergy, as much as anything else.

Session of any length with a sawzall are bad.

I learned that with my Seiko, it never occurred to me that I was even doing it. Cutting up an old boat, using using left, right and sometimes both hands and on the saw for a bit. It wasn't usable after that and ended up sending it for a new movement.

My brother now wears my Sinn UX. He’s a bit of a steady state torture test on most objects.

I don’t “think” he will be able to break it.
