I am considering a series of posts on why I think so.<br /><br />The reference to a wristwatch was a subliminal message to how we need to evaluate the opinions of gedolim who are far from unanimous. Rav Chaim Kanievsky, Shlita, who unequivocally forbids any type of wristwatch. You will not find [m]any others who concur with his psak. The message is that one cannot impress on somebody else an opinion of a gadol on an issue for which he does not have the support of his peers. If you believe otherwise, then you have no business wearing a wristwatch (assuming that you do).<br /><br /><br />YH Yechezkel Hirshmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18417734718880643428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186734097245460670.post-22174957417045878272018-07-17T07:39:40.733+03:002018-07-17T07:39:40.733+03:00Wristwatch??

He is much too cautious to say such a thing.
