You don't? I weight mine everytime I dive, making sure I didn't happen to gain water :) Or wrist cheese...

I weigh my coffee beans every morning, 15,8g's per double. Yeah my kitchen looks like a coffee shop and my scales are used for all kinds of interesting things.

Is it true that watches weigh more with a full wind? :wink:

No, but a Kindle with a ton of books on it does actually weigh more than an empty one... kind of interesting

Well according to Einstein's famous equation e=m*c*c ( mc squared)
Now, c - speed of light is constant but a fully wound watch contains more energy than unwound one.
Hence, if "e" goes up "m" must go up to balance the equation.
So, you may be on to something here ;-)

You don't?

No, I weigh myself, I weigh recipe ingredients, but never a watch. If it mattered to me (which it doesn't), I'd settle for the manufacturer's published numbers.

I limit my OCD behavior to important stuff. Like rotating my socks and alphabetizing my CD collection. :mrgreen:

At least it's heavier. I'd rather an extra nut than a lost screw anyday...

Hmm...if I had an extra nut, would I lose screws, or get more?

I'm not sure what this thread was about but I'm pretty sure it's not about that anymore.

We used to carry pocket knives. Then it was multitools. Now, they need to
add midget scales & micrometers to the multitools, along with calf pullers
(in case of birth encounters), defibrillators, along with built-in Cape Cod
cloths. If that's not enough, check your cells, as there are (cr)apps for that.

If you don't use the watch regularly, it's sure to gain weight!
