Just seat belt smacked the BLNR and wanted to share how angry I am about it. This is the number one way I get dings in my watches, I need to start grabbing the belt with my right hand.

Whats the most common way you ding your watch?

Done that a couple of times. I’m pretty careful so I don’t have something that happens all the time.

pickettt · 11 May 2019, 10:30 PM

I’m always careful with my seatbelt, because it don’t want it smacking the pillar of my car......not scratching my watch is a bonus.

JayHantz · 11 May 2019, 10:39 PM

Yeah, I can say I have done that a time or two. Always makes me cringe.

bobernet · 11 May 2019, 11:00 PM

Airplane seatbelt buckle, door frame or door handle, “helping people” aka semi-manual labor I wasn’t planning to do in advance.

I’ve just decided that’s life when you choose to wear a watch.

SearChart · 11 May 2019, 11:12 PM

Stone walls are always fun to bump into as well... I've done the seatbelt thing also

brandrea · 11 May 2019, 11:19 PM

Door jams ... we Canadians are always trying our best to get out of the way of each other

rudestew · 11 May 2019, 11:22 PM

Being a lefty and driving a right hand drive I’m good but everything else I hit I might as well wear it on my left foot

Brew · 12 May 2019, 07:13 PM

That sound is really sickening!

THC · 12 May 2019, 10:16 PM

Door jambs for me too.. so far so good, but damn

Fat_ninja · 12 May 2019, 10:18 PM

Happens to me all the time... most of the time i think on the crystal

mjclark32 · 12 May 2019, 10:27 PM

Putting my daughter into her car seat gets me all the time too

tie219 · 13 May 2019, 12:58 AM

Really doesn't happen to me often.

I'll knock mine under a table when I'm getting up sometimes

Headshrinker · 13 May 2019, 01:26 AM

Doors and desks...

piratfisk · 13 May 2019, 02:11 AM

The worst part about this thread is I can "hear" the sound the dings make in my head. I'm overly-careful with my DJ, but it has had a few love taps.

Blansky · 13 May 2019, 04:30 AM

Door jams and door knobs.

Fredrik · 13 May 2019, 04:38 AM

The worst dings have come from rock climbing, building a stone wall and mechanical work.

Metal toilet paper dispenser at work.

Peter Toronto · 13 May 2019, 06:27 AM

The toilet paper holder is something that I’ve learned to watch out for. Maybe it’s my OCD, but I’ve developed a wrist awareness while wearing my watch. Some things are just accidents and are unavoidable, but it’s those predictable things that would drive me nuts if I dinged my watch as a result of them.

Door knobs, door frames, and putting a 24 pack of water into a metal grocery cart

Peter Toronto · 13 May 2019, 07:06 AM

Metal grocery carts. Of course.

Oof the grocery cart one is cringe worthy

Yep, especially since you have pretty good momentum as your watch clicks against 15 rows of steel. I haven’t done it with a Rolex but with others.
