tauzero Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1487152529' post='3237473'] If you must wear one, it goes on the wrist of your fretting hand. On the other wrist it just gets in the way of your playing. [/quote] More importantly, if you are like me and wear your watch on the inside of your right wrist, and it's a mechanical watch, the pickups can do bad things to the internals. Must take my three watches in to be looked at a jeweller some time... I've found clip-on tuners highly inaccurate with my headless Seis.

molan Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Only just spotted this thread and the comments about watches. Every member of our band owns, by complete, coincidence, a watch from the same manufacturer and at most gigs there's at least 3-4 of us wearing one or other of their watches (some of us have multiple watches from this brand). At a gig last year we were spotted wearing these and approached by the manufacturer to do some promotional work for them It hasn't appeared yet but hopefully will at some point later this year. So, for us, wearing a watch on a gig was not only a good thing but could earn us money and get additional publicity. It was never part of the band 'look' but definitely seems to have paid dividends - maybe we'll even get some free watches, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Browning Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 The best £3.50 I ever spent was on a cheap kitchen wall clock that goes discreetly by the side of the stage so it can be clearly seen on stage and no-one is having to take a sly peek at a watch.

EBS_freak Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Ive wondered why those awful (to look at) clip on headstock tuners haven't got a time on them... at least you could kill two birds with one look without the audience knowing that you are clock watching.
