Yes, people do work with their hands for a living. Presumably a
blacksmith would not have need to tell time in 3 zones at one time and
would remove any watch, electronic or mechanical. I know guys that
golf with their automatic watch with no ill effect. Most of us who
work with our hands but in less strenuous activities should not have to
worry about their watch failing. And since the original thread asked
about a 24 hour watch for swling, I'm still not clear how a G rating
would come into play.

Some people work with their hands for a living.

The point is that a virtually indestructable, impeccably accurate,
perpetually powered, and foolproof to read timepiece can be had for 75
clams. And it shows 2 time zones at once in 24 hour format.

It's a digital world.
