That is really nice! I want something like it.

My MetaWatch's battery started to fail - it doesn't make it through the workday any longer

I was already set up as a backer for the Pebble E-Watch on kickstarter, so I'm hanging on hope for that.

So instead - today I'm going back about a year and a half in my watch-wearing career. Broke out my Stuhrling skeleton watch. Love this thing.

I was thinking about collecting but never really got into it. The only nice watch I own is a Christopher Ward London C60 Trident which is one heck of a great watch.

I have a Suunto Core All Black. I love this watch. I will tell you that it is not a dive watch. It is only good to 100 feet and the depth meter only goes to 39ft. I have a lot of experience with Suunto dive computers and when I realized that they made watches I had to have one. I will upload a picture shortly.

Very nice watch Justin!!! I love how the glass is almost endless, reminds me of an infinity pool.

Anybody know anything about Red Lines?
They are cheap but seem pretty nice looking.
I just grabbed a "Traction"
