The grass cutting watch?
People have posted questions before asking about changing watches during the day. Typically I don't change my watch during the day, the exception is when I workout, or cut the grass. For those 2 specific activities I use my smart watch (Tag Connected). It really is a great watch, for what it is, but this is about the only use it gets anymore. Anyone else out there like this?

I have a Citizen Eco-drive that I wear when I cut the grass, just to make sure it gets some good charging time in the sun.

Same here, except it gets charged even when it's in the drawer.
Same,a swatch for super dirty or hard work,luminox was used as beater at work for 20 years.
G-Shock MudMaster is my go to do anything outside watch, from yard work, hiking, biking, swimming, skydiving, etc anything.
A Samsung smartwatch though yesterday my vintage MuDu saw hedge trimming as I forgot to change over. It survived!
G-shock is my go to beater for yard work, hunting, outdoors in general…
Just put this Gshock in for yard work yesterday.
My Tudor Pelagos 39 covers all bases.

When I got mine, it came out of the box running and perfectly set (except for the wrong time zone).
It was so “purty” that I played with the chronograph and second time zone setting and alarm for several hours until it went into some sort of “safe” mode where the second hand didn’t move, but it still kept time - and the second hand pointed to a “Charge” indicator.
It was basically saying “feed me”
Since then I make sure it gets some time in the sun every day.
I know it’s rated for 4-6 months on a “full charge” but since there is no indication of charge level - I just figure - what the heck.
And unless there is light getting to it - it is not charging in the drawer - it just goes into “power-save” mode and keeps the time. But wakes up when it sees light again.
Nope, tho I should.
Was unblocking drains a couple of days ago when I realised I was wearing my Seamaster - I'd been gardening all day!!
I switch out my mechanical watches when doing more impact work or using gas powered tools. When I finish, I swap into a nicer watch. Winter time I wear one watch per day.
