Office soft/cushion arm rest

Hi beautiful people,

Was wondering if anyone could recommend any office soft/cushion arm rest to put in front of the keyboard.

Until now I've been careful enough of never resting the watch arm on the table to avoid continuous contact with the watch but maybe I was thinking there would be some sort of solution in the form of a soft/cushion arm rest?

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance for your recommendations!

The only way to keep a watch in pristine condition is not to wear it.

The purpose and enjoyment I get from my own is when they are on my wrist.

If you treat it as an investment then keep it is its box and only wear it at home.

That said, wearing long sleeves does provide some protection from bashing the lugs on a desk which lacks a leather surface or a large leather mouse pad does the trick for me.

Makes telling time difficult, but definitely protects.

In all seriousness my friend, just be careful and enjoy the watch

I think any medium quality "keyboard wrist rest pad" would be suitable for this purpose, there is not that much difference between them. However and of course, there are several types, like memory foam, or liquid based ones, so I suggest that you buy the one that best fits your keyboard and the one that you feel the most comfortable for your very own wrist. Honestly, to find it out the best way to do this is to try them out at a local computer store or mall.

These little gadgets are really useful to protect your hands and your desk

GRAFITI wrist pads are fantastic, I’ve been using them with various keyboards for over a decade:

They sell different widths and thicknesses, so you can choose according to your specific keyboard and personal preferences

Just get it over with. Scuffs, scratches, dings and dents are inevitable. Thats why Patek offers polishing services during your service.

Let's see, wearing a watch and worrying about scratches and then needing advice on what to do. I need to think on this one.

they have these watch shield plastic film things that is like PPF for your bracelet. I'd never be caught dead wearing one, but maybe you can try that?

The best solution is to only buy watches at a price point you can wear the watch and not worry over the inevitable scratches and marks.

Wear a watch on a strap at the office.

No wrist rash to a bracelet that way.
