Watch bezel

On my dive watches, I’ve never used the bezel. GMTs I’ve used maybe two times.

I use a dive bezel a lot. Sometimes multiple times a day. I find it very useful.

I use it for cooking mostly.

Handy for parking meters & eggs. Anyone that says they use it for diving is talking out their arse 😉

Parking timing is the primary use for me 👌🏽

Timing for cooking and other different things through out the day. Especially since I don't like having phone on me while working. I find it quite useful.

I’ve used mine to time the walks that my wife and I do and I’ve used it at work for various tasks. But for diving? Nope… :)

All the time.

Naps, runs, dets, laps, eggs, pizza, hikes, time since check in, time walking a heading, how many minutes until I get off work....🤣

I fiddle with the bezel during commercials.

You could always Brando your dive watches and GMTs

I used my dive bezel for cooking times, parking, when to reapply sunscreen while swimming, bike riding and workouts

When I'm doing a hair color, mostly for a Grey blend at the shampoo bowl. Usually it's just for 5 min but It works out well because my hands are wet and I can still set a timer even if my hands are a little slippery.

I use the bezel just about every time that I wear a watch that has one - usually in the kitchen. Or if my wife says, “We need to leave in 20 minutes”, or similar situations. Plus they’re just fun to fidget with…

Fidget spinner or clicker to be more accurate

I use them for what I could more effectively use my phone or digital watches for. I need the justification. Still havent taken my divers swimming tho...

Edibles! There I said it. I use it almost daily as a reminder when my spacecraft initially launches. Enjoy your day😎

I have used the bezel to measure the speed of the motor boat I was in, by counting the time between two river milestones.

Mine is stuck.

Brando ??? Marlon ?

Yep… famously removed the bezels off his watches

Strange, why ?

In nearly 20 years I've never used a timing bezel for anything practical.

For me the appeal of a chunky rotating bezel is that it protects the crystal from knocks, & aesthetics - nothing more.

Love the Willard 😍👍🏻👍🏻

and

it’s Brando, he did what he wanted

I think I use it every 10 minutes…like a fidget spinner. For actual use? Maybe once a day to time cooking or lunch breaks.

I don't, but I'm pretty sure that if SmallCat™ had opposable thumbs he would play with it all the time if only to mess up my life.

I dont currently have a dive but I use my chronograph timer several times a day to time breaks at work and time spent walking the dogs.

Funny post. Love it

I like to time things, so I actually use it often. Obviously, I don't really need it, but it's a fun thing to do. :-)

P.S. I've got the same Willard - a thing of beauty!
