You're correct. My experience is that for some reason it doesn't register with people that watches are mechanical devices. Rep or not they need to be handled the same way as a ny gen but aren't. They treat them in a way that no one would treat the gen. At least not the ones who have respect for things. This is especially true for noobs who among other things often don't need a chrono watch or understand how they work. Do a search for 'what does this button do'. So I rarely recommend anyone buy a Daytona for their first rep.
