I would have thought at least 4 feet....3 feet is about waist high unless you are a rooster.

You might want to reconsider that statement,pardner!!!

3 feet? Should be much higher. Assume that the watch will fall when a person puts it on, and that is much higher than 3 feet.

Any standard for G-force testing?

I wish it was a tile floor. Wood is much less common in the areas where I find myself removing my watch (bathroom for washing face and kitchen for washing dishes).

Besides, with some of today's monster watches, they should be rating the floor, not the watch:tongue_smilie:

Hey, it used to be two feet but with inflation the distance is now three feet. If it becomes 4 feet, we may get the Humane Society of the United States on the case.

P.S. One of my sons works for HSUS so I like to pull his chain on occasion.

Please remember that this is according to the US government.
So, do not expect this to be anywhere near reality.

How high is your desk?

Boscoe's desk is 8" off the floor so I'm sure any watch dropped off it is just fine. 3 feet is plenty for Boscoe..... After all, how many 3' tall pugs does anyone know????? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :lol:
