This is a real danger and hearing a horror story from a friend prompted the watch. It is waterproof and the iron rule is - wear it in the shower. I also put some of those kids' non-slip stickers on the floor of the shower, they work surprisingly well and are a 1000% improvement on the mats.

It was on my wrist, fastened on the way down, unfastened itself at some point, probably when my hand hit the ground to break the fall.
