Pretty damn gutsy. I've never attempted to take a watch apart.

So.. you guys are posting all of these high end and rare watches. I figured I'd post my everyday wear watch. It's a Fossil Q Crewmaster Hybrid watch. It's a standard 46mm dive watch with a 3ATM waterproof rating (164ft). It looks like a normal dive watch with manual quartz movement but is Bluetooth enabled and keeps track of steps, sleep, exercise, etc... When I get a text or call it vibrates and the arms point at the number assigned to the person that called. The small dial can be programmed via the phone app to do a variety of functions but I leave it as a step counter. All data stays sync'd with the phone app. The watch sells for around $300 new but they've recently dropped the price as they get ready to release the Version 3. You can find them new in the $125-$175 range right now.

I haven't been a big fan of smart watches in general, though I like the variety that's starting to emerge. These hybrid watches do a good job of not looking too techy. I'd definitely be cautious with that water resistance rating. The ratings are vague and very much like TV screen sizes. Ultimately 3 ATM doesn't actually guarantee safety in the shallow end of the pool.

I have a Samsung Frontier watch that i really like but my company has banned them from all company vehicles. My son and his buddy have this same watch model. Went we were on our Thanksgiving vacation they wore there's snorkeling on the reef. I don't think we got any deeper than about 15' but they did fine at that depth.
Yep, anything that contributes to distracted driving. my company doesn't even allow phone calls with a hands free device.
Both are pretty stable investments, not likely to depreciate.....but the D's don't want to ban fancy watches.
Y'all need new bosses. I can text with one hand, sip coffee, smoke a cigar and get a blowjob from a hooker all at once in the company car and my boss doesn't give a shit .
Thanks Laufen. One of these days I am going to turn auto correct off. It makes some of the dumbest correctness. Try calling someone a duck!

I'm a big fan of Luminox watches. I had one for years but it got stolen about 6 years ago.
Marines?Thieving bastards. Who steals a watch that says NAVY SEAL on it?
POGs?
Marine POGs?
I had a luminox years ago and I don't remember wtf happened to it. I'm sure I got bored with it and sold it, I just don't remember it happening.
