Watch stand for my work desk

[beanbag]

I know this sounds odd, but I always take off my watch when using my keyboard at work as the clasp digs into my wrist.

I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a nice but inexpensive watch-stand to keep it safe while off my wrist. The cleaner at work already knocked it off the desk and broke the power spring when it landed on the floor costing me £200.

I was even thinking of an Apple Watch stand. Something like this would be perfect but ideally for mechanical watches!

would a gel cushion in front of the keyboard help? Then you wouldn't need to remove your watch

Add a half or full link so the watch is looser, then the clasp won’t dig into your wrist.

I'm not a fan of gel wrist pads. I used to have one but I threw it in the bin after falling out with it. And it's also a leather strap but it's the clasp that digs in slightly....

Something like this maybe...

PS. Have not got one so no idea on quality.

Yeah, that's sort of what I'm after. Not quite the design I was looking for. It's actually bloody hard to find something!!!!

Not pretty, but unobtrousive and does the job - And VERY cheap!

I had one of these. It fell off my desk on to carpet and broke.

That said it was 99p

That doesn't inspire confidence! It's not exactly a cheap watch and the last time the cleaner knocked it on the floor, it cost me £200 to get it repaired. This is exactly what I need to avoid!!!!

It's an almost impossible task finding something like this. Right now it sits on top of my sugar tub!

Wife bought me a stags head hook thing, so I attached to my office noticeboard and put them there and yes you can play hoopla with watches.
