Well, everyone around here seems so precise I thought I ought to point that one out

I'm just busting chops

... also noting that macro doesn't make a tripod necessary. I'll bet if your watch were on a walking person, the tripod won't work out so well

I'm the same as you, Jeff. I shoot bugs with my macro, not studio table top setups, so I am chasing them all over. Hand held with my M 100/4 macro using Catch-in-focus.
I just learned to use CIF my last outing with a manual focus Macro (actually closeup) type lens.
See the flower photos..
Even with a still subject, I find it easier to get what I want, hand held. That is unless, as noted, I'm going for a long exposure.
Of course, a nice Pentax Ring flash doesn't hurt the effort
