    They're the best watches in the world, ever.

    The strap on mine's about to go, and it's probably cheaper to replace the whole watch when it does than to just get a new strap fitted.
  • Win, I also got one. Cheap and functional, what more does a person need?
    Oh, I only wear it when riding as the Polar F5 needs batteries, I wouldn't wear it to work :¬P

    I looked at the Suunto X10 Military when I got my suunto, but I really wanted a heart rate monitor.

    I wear my Advizor nearly all the time and use the heart rate monitor on a weekly basis. I have another watch for 'dress' but I'm treating myself to a Tag Heur or similar for my 30th in May.

    Those watches are the best ever made. Light, simple, tough, slim, they even look pretty cool. Oh, and they are virtually indestructible, and cost almost nothing.
    I like bikes and stuff
  • If you like it that's all that matters. You can't have too many watches, trainers, beanies or sunglasses.

  • I just use my sigma HRM which when not showing pusle does the time. Perfect for me.

    Speaking of that, I do want some blingy watchage to wear with my nicer clothes.

    I can't get on with watches at all. I love watches and clocks as amazing pieces of engineering, but they always piss me off when I'm wearing them. Might have something to do with having girly thin wrists.

    I did have an awesome Casio calculator watch when I was about 13 though. Was my pride and joy.

    I found my old animal watch the other day that I bought at about 18, just needs a new battery.

    Cool, is that the one that transforms into a robot and a car? I had one of those, it didn't really look much like a car or a robot but then, it doesn't look much like a watch either

    of course it's a watch, it has numbers and everything :lol:

    unfortunately it doesn't transform into a robot or a car. it just transforms me into a grumpy bastard!! :D

    I wear this everyday. I use it for sport and it's smart enough for dressy stuff too. On the other hand it does come with a 2 inch thick manual and is uber complicated, but I can tell you the time in Ohaka wherever that is?
