Wearing rings and other jewellry

Although not technically firearms-related, this is related to personal safety issues, like carrying a gun. I stopped wearing my college class ring a few years back, primarily because it started to seem silly after 7-8 years out of college, but also due to the fact that people lose fingers from wearing rings when caught on something fast and powerful, such as machinery, etc. I know that people in certain professions, with large heavy things whizzing around, avoid wearing rings ("I CAN'T wear my wedding ring, honey - it's not safe." ). So how many of you consciously avoid rings purely for reasons of personal safety? And if so, what job/trade are you in? And also, what about watches? Would one be wise to wear a watch that has a weaker-strength band, simply so that it would break rather than taking your hand off or injuring your hand in the event of a serious snag?
