I've got a scar on the inside of my left wrist from wearing a watch & using a Beiter bracer (the one that looks like a 6" ruler). Dodgy loose & instead of vibrating against the bracer at the end of the shot the string hit the bracer. Perfectly: At the end & in line so perfectly that it pushed the bracer down my arm into my (metal) watchstrap, which took a chunk out of the skin.

I can't believe it's a major risk to me or the rest of you, but I don't wear a watch while shooting now.
