I am wondering how much effect a walk with arm movements has on the Amplitude of a watch.

Last night at 22:00 I measured the amplitude of my watch at 236 degrees

I left my watch in a 6 Up position.

This morning my watch had decreased to an amplitude of 223 degrees.

I then took my dog for a 30 min walk and on return measured the amplitude yet again.

The amplitude had increased to 230 degrees

Clearly from this a dog walk of more than 30 mins a day is needed to fully wind the watch.

It looks like my dog is going to be very lucky and get plenty of long walks just so that I can measure the amplitude changes.

In other words…

Is it safe to walk my dog wearing a Rolex?

I bet you're fun at parties.

C’mon Charles, I was only joking.

I have seen some of your graphs.

Getting crazy in London and NYC! Situational awareness is key!

Dog walking changes your heart rate and impacts well being in general. Not surprising things impact our watches. Enjoy the walk more and worry about the watch less.

gerry100 · 20 October 2021, 10:32 PM

What kind of dog?

Brew · 20 October 2021, 10:37 PM

Was/is the leash held in your watch hand or other side? I would think a free-swinging hand would do more than one that is leashed.

Funny thread

I draw two conclusions:
- walking is not only healthy for people and dogs, but also for automatic mechanical watches
- if you're going to wear a Rolex, make sure the dog is not a popular race prone to be stolen and can defend you in case of being mugged, either for the Rolex, the dog or a combination of both.

Depends if the dog is paw aware.

This must be a troll post, alluding to all the OCD threads out there?

eman1200 · 21 October 2021, 12:16 AM

That’s actually 210 dog minutes so you did a lot more exercise than you think!

Kevin of Larchmont · 21 October 2021, 12:34 AM

I asked over on the dog walking forum and they don’t know either.

Or 10 expressive arm windmills.

Alois does not remember that this is your very first and best graph

i'll take a ridiculous post about dog walking and amplitude over another rant about the rolex market and grey dealers any day!

I know you are going to think I am nuts ... But I have tried 25 windmills ..... the amplitude went up 2 degrees at the max.

Although I admit I did bring my beloved dog into this topic I am actually being serious about how much walking I need to do in order to keep my watch close to fully wound.

You’re a funny guy Charles
