 Of course everyone has a different connection to a watch, and a different reason for wearing it. Some watches are tools - rough and tough watches that were designed to handle some knocks. I don't want to have to treat every watch I own with kid gloves, but I don't see that as abuse. It becomes abuse if it's deliberate, or an inappropriate use for the type of watch.

It's a tough call because everyone is entitled to do just what they like with their own watch. Watch enthusiasts tend to have an ingrained attitude of care and preservation  - and it's not just about the resale value! It drives me crazy when people don't seem to care, but many folks just don't seem to.
