        On the right

        Has a red button for detonation



        I'm the kind of person who can only wear one watch at a time.  That is, I don't wear one to work, another one for play, and yet another for dress.  So it's

            Paid €220 for it.

            It has power saving feature which means at night time the screen goes blank until it sees light or a button is pressed.

            Its solar and atomic clock..It updates every night.

              220 squid is a lot for a watch, I've no doubt it class but do you not worry about when you're using it in service?

                        My time peace of choice. I got it when I was on a course about 5 yrs back as my nice Festina watch was getting a little scratched. I got it on e-bay, and iirc, it came to about €40 incl shipping and has not required a battery change since I got it.
                        What are you cackling at, fatty? Too much pie, that's your problem.

                          This one has out lasted my below G-Shock, in terms of batt and maintenance, plus its been around the world with work. (Diesel, grinding, diving, acetone, resins etc etc) Added to that it weighs no where near that of my G-SHock and is about 1/3 the profile of it on my wrist.
