Put it in a cage with apes, still ticking, drop it off a bridge, still ticking, and other extreme scenarios and THEN the commercial comes on and they say this elephant is going to step on it. The elephant steps on it then lefts her foot and the watch is just obliterated - squashed like a bug! And the guy that is always narrating all these commercials picked it up by the band and he would usually say: still ticking! Nothing is as tough as a Timex. Talked a licking, keeps on ticking!

[@mightyone3737]

Did the researchers not know that cats and cows have been living together for an awful long time?? Cows that freaked out because a cat jumped on them probably didn't do especially well over the THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF COOPERATION. Just saying! Also, water does too help, it's just not going to help with every symptom you might have, it's like saying taking morphine doesn't 'help' when you're in great pain; it's purely palliative but palliative care is a thing. Similarly, staunching the bleeding when you have an injury doesn't magically cure the problem, but it's a shit-ton better than NOT staunching the bleeding.
