Re: Watch Aficionados?
Suunto makes all sorts of watches.
From ones that can aid in your Club Selection while you are out playing. To watches that can calculate your average speed of descent for skiing, as well as timing your lift laps (You set your base altitude at the 'finish' line, then when you get to the top you press the button and when you cross the line it stops and you get a time. You can then download to your computer and log your data over a year. With some GPS equipped ones you can map it out on Google Maps)
They make watches for whatever sport you can think of. The Golf one is super cool, you tell it what club you are using. Then you swing. It calculates your swing speed, and whether or not you swing was on plane. Then you walk to your ball. Using the built in GPS it tells you how far you hit that club.
It then over rounds calculates your average distance per club, and can tell you based on your swing plane data what sort of distance you are pulling/pushing your draws/fades and whatnot.
Therefor you can ask it for club advice after telling it the distance and whatnot. Very cool watch.Leave a comment:

Isn't that Suunto a diving watch? Might not be a kids arm per se, could be someone like myself. hah. That last one is pretty cool, gives me a bit of a scale vibe.Leave a comment:

Re: Watch Aficionados?
thats exactly it Liquid.......
I like watches and would rather spend $3k on 20 knock offs of which I can wear a different one everyday instead of the same 1-2. My concord or B&R Tourbillion reps for example are over $130k ea, I love that style but could never afford them, so for a butt load less I can enjoy looking at the fake. I in no way give anyone the impression that I have the real deal, if they ask if its fake I tell them. And don't forget, I still own the real B&R Phantom, and U-Boat which are well over the price of all my reps, so I think i've helped support the real watch industry as much as they need it.Leave a comment:

Re: Watch Aficionados?
I'm not a fan of fakes either.... I only have 3 watches - but all are real. With that said, I think your argument is a little off-base. For many people it has nothing to do with trying to look richer than they are - it's simply that they like the watch, and can't afford the real one.Originally posted by Kor View PostLeave a comment:

Re: Watch Aficionados?
right, because the authentic watch companies are extremely moral and dont use sweatshops or slave labor in anyway to create their product ..... ?Leave a comment:

Re: Watch Aficionados?
Dude if you didn't buy all those fakes you could buy plenty of nice watches, and support the business rather than some knock off built by little kids in a sweatshop in Malaysia....
Lots of great authentic watches out there without spending a fortune...
Don't understand the appeal of fakes. Rather wear a Seiko or a Tissot and have a quality beautiful watch that's genuine than put on a fake $10,000 watch... to fool people into thinking I'm richer or something? Or somehow smarter because a fake is cheaper?Last edited by Kor; 05-28-2009, 12:30 AM.Leave a comment:

What are you using to hold the watches (the grey things)? I am in need of something similar but I don't have watch holders (I don't know what else to call them) for all of them.
p.s. I love the 51-30, I have the black/lime one.Leave a comment:
