is kettlebell training possible with Apple Watch on the wrist

[fulhamx5]

kettlebell can damage Apple Watch while training .
am I wrong?

You’re not wrong, but it does depend on the exercise.
I avoid presses as I expect that movement will smash anything on your wrist, but things like rows, swings or Russian twists use a different grip and I have got away with it so far.
TBH I expect my watch to be at risk of damage every time I work out...fact of life

I just make sure the watch is pushed as close to my hand as possible so the handle doesn’t touch the top of it. Works for me.

turn the watch to the bottom of your wrist.

I second turning the watch downward. I do depending on the exercise I am preforming.

I wear a sweat band over my watch when in the gym (gardening, D.I.Y., etc.). Cheap and easy solution.

You also get the added bonus of looking retro and cool in the process!

It works well for me. However, I need to remove my wedding band.

I've had a kettlebell hit my watch a few times doing KB snatches or something. Luckily it didn't do any damage but it scares the crap out of me. I always turn the watch so it's on the bottom of my wrist and out of the way.
