Obviously I didn't make the watch itself, but I have a different style to me, so of course I needed to make a custom band.
Don't ask how much it costed me, too much, but plenty of extra material.

cool 80s style but i doubt it would help much in a real fight. imagine trying to use your wrist as a fist. theres pocket tazers instead. or even a small bag of coins would make your fist much more damaging.
Those spikes are purely stylistic...
they should be. the posters comment says otherwise.
Oh, I don't see such a comment
they said: Third revision, this thing is a beast!
I dunno, just got tired of the crazies out there, so I wanted to gear up with something for self defense.
I've never had to actually use any of these, and I hope I never need to, but I ain't about to take any crap from any nutjobs out there.
Oh lmao
Maybe just a good old knife would be easier, or a pepper spray
yea pretty much anything. maybe a metal yo-yo.
What about as defense from punches?
its too small to be a shield. if you do manage to maim an attacker they would be more likely to get angry enough to kill you.
If I flip the watch over where the spikes are on the outside, it can totally devastate someone's face with a good backhanded wrist slap. Those spikes are mounted into 4mm thick genuine top shelf leather, so I won't feel a damn thing.
Believe me, I've passively tested it a few times on trees before, I'd rather get punched with brass knuckles than this thing. I've never had to use it on a person before, and I surely hope I never need to.
