Do be careful, though.  Years ago I used to carry my great-uncle's gold 
Hamilton in my levi's, and one winter's day I took a few runs on a Flexible 
Flyer, prone, down a long steep icy washboard road, and afterward when I 
took it to the watchmaker because it had ceased to run I was told that I had 
pounded several of the jewels into powder.
I think that watch mechanisms, by and large, are less robust and tolerant of 
abuse than a Leica.
