Interesting topic. At first I thought you were kidding. Sorry to hear that you have that much fear about being in public with your watch. Ever thought about carrying a handgun, lifting some weights, taking personal protection classes or something like that to maybe increase your confidence and reduce your fears? I travel a lot and occasionally end up in some less than nice areas where there are high crime rates, but have never been scared about it or thought twice about wearing my watch in any environment.
