Yes, but please take the precaution of removing it before putting your hand under the mower.

I wouldn't wear an all gold piece to avoid scratches, but any other- of course it's safe.

No, it is safe but under the mower, is not safe. there is enough mulchy stuff under the blade that your watch will get dirty. Why do that? And why take a chance on it hitting the blade? The blade will win every time, whether moving or not.

Couldn't agree more The forum kindly offers us the use of "jokes and cartoons section " and to a certain extend the " open discussion " for these kind of threads
