100 mph serves, violent G-Forces and more – Is a Rolex sturdy enough to survive the grueling forces of a professional tennis match"
There are many reasons why ‘Rolex’ is the first and the last word when it comes to a luxury watch. One of the reasons is ‘accuracy’, and be it the depths of the ocean, an F1 race, or a game of tennis, a Rolex watch will tell the correct time. For a mechanical watch, there are a few things as enduring than to be worn on the dominant hand of a professional tennis player. Franz Rivoira, explains the physics a wrist watch is put through and must endure in a 180-minute tennis match.
While a Rolex watch could survive almost anything which you could throw at it, I really doubt that it (and for this matter, any kind of mechanical watch) could survive a PROFESSIONAL tennis match, especially if worn on a dominant hand.
I am not a tennis connoisseur and fan, but I have read about the feats professional tennis players are capable of doing – and their materials have to withstand.
The issue is that a watch worn on the serving hand has to withstand a shock of going from zero to a hit propelling a ball at 100 miles per hour, as well as the immediate reverse in G-force of an equally powerful return of serve – which would happen with a professional opponent. And not only happening once: doing this for a long game of several points per game (four or more), several games (six or more) per set, and several sets (at least three, for men?s tennis) for the match.
I might be mistaken (and in this case, please correct me) but I believe that in history, none...
