??? Not sure I follow....watches aren't so delicate that playing tennis with one is going to harm it, unless you actually hit it with tennis racket or the ball itself slams into it.

All the best.
If I were to play tennis with one sure, no big deal. But the violent force with which he swings and hits, I read someplace that it's horrible over time for the movement. I think on his two hander I read someplace 4-5Gs. We're not talking about complete failure, just throwing things out of perfect over time. Although the latest RM is supposed to handle some crazy g-forces so who knows. It's like anything else that's mechanical it will eventually need adjusting. Although for this specific watch I think it's better suited for this type of abuse than most other things out there.
