To my mind it's Cover-Our-Asses advice from Legal. You don't see a knock in the distance as it approaches covered in HiVis and daylight running lights. You turn round and bump!. Only time I'm particularly careful is with new eye-glasses because the distortion of straight lines, such as door frames, will have changed. It's particularly bad if going from contact lenses to glasses.
I have broken a tendon in a finger by wild gesticulation sitting at a meeting table but never damaged a watch like that.
Me first Omega fell onto a rough concrete floor and survived. After parking my car I wanted to check oil & water so carefully put the watch into a pocket of my jacket and put the jacket on the passenger seat. After doing the check I grabbed the jacket and pulled. A bit to hard perhaps. Result :- no visible damage. But it may have landed on the leather strap. Live an honourable life and perhaps karma won't bite you on the backside.
Or perhaps it will.
