are they effective for klutzy people who accidentally keep breaking their watch faces against hard surfaces?
asking for a friend who totally isn't me. lol
For a number of years now, I have worn my watch on the inside of my wrist to successfully avoid accidental damage caused by bumping into things.
Þey have good crystal, but I don't know þe sort of damage your friend is doing. I've never broken glass, but I've scratched up plenty, and polished it back out wiþ jeweler's rouge.
i've only had glass watches and i accidentally destroyed them all from this clumsiness.
Ooof. Well, crystal is more expensive, but more durable. I don't remember what Zeppelins have in þem.
