  • I payed $89 for it lol. I knew it wasnt worth the $939msrp they told me it was but I figured for $89 tax free, and having seen them in the chain jewelry stores it had to at least be $90 decent.

Pretty funny marketing scheme, to claim the watches are worth 5 times what they actually sell for to make people feel like they're getting a deal. I'll stick to my EcoDrive BL5400-52A







      . I think my next watch purchase is going to be a Suunto Ambit2.





      Bought one and sold it before I even pulled it out of the box. Kinda wish I would have kept it.



      Bought and sold quite a few but here is the one I have been sporting quite a bit lately.

      • Just out sheer curiousity, anybody know anything about this Fossil? It was given to me a few years ago and i've never worn it because its HUGE on my wrist. Ran across it while cleaning the other day and my uncle likes it. I dont know if I should let him buy it from me or just give it to him. Likely either way i'll do the latter but if someone has any insight on it it'd be appreciated.

        • I don't think used Fossils have much value, tell him $20

          • Kind of what I figured, Im pretty sure im just going to give it to him. It was given to me and Ive never even worn it. Somebody might as well get use out of it.

I was even looking at a Baum & Mercier the other day and they are the same way. Retail was like $4500 and you can pick them up all day for $2200 and this one was onsale for $1750.

                    Nothing wrong with it at all. I already have the New Balance NX990 and TomTom Runner GPS watches and the Suunto Core, just did not need the Ambit as bad as I thought I did.
                    Actually I do not use either GPS watch anymore at all. I use RunKeeper and my Pebble watch.

                        Thanks!
                        There were only a handful of smart watches for iOS, already had the pebble but wanted something a little nicer for work. I like this one because you can answer and place calls from the watch, unlike my Pebble. The Pebble deffinetly has more functions and can download apps for the phone.
                        There is another smart watch called the I'm Watch, just could not find it locally and was like three week shipping time.

                        • I was browsing amazon and bought a cheap storage box for my watches. Came into day and I am pretty satisfied with the quality.

                                Very interested in that watch. Rubber bands are perfect for work. Sapphire crystal?
