Anybody else have this problem with their kids?
When I happen to hold hands with my kids (3 and 4 years old) on the side of my watch, I seem to frequently bang my watch against their heads by accident. I feel particularly bad when it is the DSSD that I am wearing. Poor kids.

used to happen when my kids were that age. (they're just at that wrist swinging height) but I had a Breitling, 44mm, thick a@@ piece of steel, so yeah. A few knocks and some tears, and I sold it off for something thinner and it never happened again..

I have two; a girl and a boy. One is near 29 and the other near 23. One an angel and the other an idiot. What can you do. Maybe buying a DSSD and smacking the idiot on the side of the head with it would make a difference. This thread may have come up with good justification for me buying a new watch!!!

But the burning question for this forum should be how to clean it after it has smacked them in the head?

I've stopped wearing watches in the pool because they kids sometimes get scratched by the bracelet when we're horsing around.

Maybe I just need to keep them in helmets until they get a little taller.
Honestly, though, I do try to remember to hold my kids hand with my right hand (no watch). Unfortunately, I inevitably forget to do so and BAM!, I nail them in the head with the watch on my left hand.

Haha. Not only have i knocked my own kids but just yesterday while volunteering at "fun day" at the elementary school I clocked a 7 year old with my watch while playing tag! Both he and the watch survived, although I think his head caused my bezel to move.

I did that once walking through a resturant not paying attention and I smacked a bald gentleman right in is head with a YM2. I'm sure the side of his head said "YACHTMASTER II" for like a week.
