Well, this thread guilt-tripped me into mowing my lawn. It was getting pretty shaggy.

What watch did you wear?

Keep the blades balanced and adequately sharp and I can't ever see having a problem.
How long do you spend mowing?

I believe the question was about the cutting of grass not lawn mowing……two entirely different activities.
Lawn mowing involves chasing or riding a lawnmower around the yard, where as grass cutting involves seducing some other blokes wife of girlfriend!
So when some bloke cuts your grass, he is probably not doing you any favours.

It would not make much difference wearing it doing the former.
It my well improve you chances of success in the later, as it pays to lock your best when attempting subduction, however I not sure what use a time piece would be during the carnal act itself, indeed it may even cause injury or discomfort with inappropriate use.

Of course you can wear your Speedmaster while mowing the lawn.
I genuinely thought this thread was tongue in cheek from the title

While managing the garden it is important to meassure duration and time the next tea break



The gloves are for nail protection, the watchdoes not need it ...

Only the Speedy Ref. 105.003 passed the NASA testing for Lawn Mowing. Don't wear other models.

I’m going to assume semantic representation of the OP’s post, as I feel this thread has become judgmental and could benefit from outside counsel.

You’re all missing some potential interpretations of the question here that could enrich discussion.

1) Can the OP use the wearing of a Speedmaster as an excuse NOT to mow the lawn? (“Sorry honey, I can’t today: I’m wearing my Speedmaster.”) Does that change the situation?

2) Can the OP wear nothing BUT a Speedmaster while mowing the lawn?

OP, we’ll discus my fee upon settlement.

Yea cut the guy some slack. Better safe than sorry. Also, it’s always fun to play the NASA card (which I did first). But the fact of the matter is those guys broke a lot of watches.

Ahh Now I understand all the weird Speedmaster treads; No, I cant cut the grass, do the dishes change diapers, etc. But I can travel in space if you like!

Absolutely NOT! It's a space watch and as such it is not suitable for peasant activities.

NO! If the drug squad raid you while you are tending to your crop they might confiscate it.

Welp, this thread has devolved into nonsense and ridiculousness.



Good quality nonsense, mind you.

It was originally made as a drivers watch in 1957 for cars that had suspension about as good as a 2023 lawnmower.

Strap it on your wrist and wear it until it breaks like the men before us….
