I suspect the article is just an ad. They want to sell a watch for "tough guys" and came up with that story.
The whole site reeks of "Chinese-made watch that we slapped our logo on", with some tacti-cool sprinkled on top. This article in particular is a little too "just so" for my tastes.
But my main objection is that I've known folks that were in the military (and not having served myself), and of the ones I currently know (and therefore, can trust my memory), not a one wears their watch on the inside.
But we've got plenty of military folk on HN, I welcome being corrected.
