Recently on a longish flight from LAX to Tokyo, I was sitted on the right isle (economy class
), and had a few near misses with my 193 on my left wrist dangling on the isle, just from other boarding passengers rushing by with their carryons.
Thinking what would happen if I fall asleep and the freight train (service cart) smack against my Pam was enough to make me immediately switch the watch over to my right wrist for the duration of the long flight.
Boy, never realized how huge the 193 was! Now I know what others meant when they said it's a "tuna can". On the right wrist, I really find it almost too big to wear comfortably. It banged against everything while eating/reading/crossing my arms/playing with the iPad/scratching my nose/putting my arm around my lovely wife/etc in the cramped quarters. Not to mention, the previously perfectly comfortable BigB ammo strap is too tight when worn on my bigger right wrist.
The moment we landed in Narita, the first thing I did was switch it back to my left wrist with a huge sigh of relief. And thankfully, I was seated on the left isle from Tokyo to Singapore. How strange that the same watch could be just about "invisible" on the right (as in correct) left wrist!
