Cycling and wearing an automatic watch good or bad?

[Miguel Alvarez]

I've recently taken up cycling to and from work along an off road track for the best part of 30 miles. Is the constant shuddering likely to do any damage to an automatic watch?

[LukeBird]

Nope.

Only if you fall off.

And land on your watch!

Lol. There is quite a big drop so that isn't part of the plan.

My Orange Monster never had a issue with it but my wrist had an issue with the watch. After enough bumps and jumps the watch actually ended up cutting my wrist! Never worn a watch when mountain biking since.

Yes, but no, but yes.

Perfect excuse for a new G Shock / Suunto / Pathfinder.

Have a look at a Riseman or a Mudman.
