What functions are you looking for in a "cycling watch?" Is it just lightweight and tells time?

Most cycling computers have a clock function on them, and it wouldn't be adding any extra weight.

Do you have a bike computer? Any Casio or Timex is going to be cheap and light.

Just something basic that gives me the time and doesnt get in the way. I also do some mountain biking and I dont have a computer on either.

I noticed that you found the sunglasses and watch at online stores under the same owner. The Q&A for the two threads felt a bit odd. I was wondering if something was up. If not, sorry to bring it up.

Yeah, people are getting more creative with their marketing/spam. I guess they run the risk that other posters will bad-mouth the products/companies they are trying to pimp, which would hurt more than if they had just not posted.

Next we'll have users with shill accounts to add testimonials to their spam.

I've got to say that watch is the most stupid thing I've ever seen. Emits negative ions and Far Infrared--I can only imagine they mean light from the far infrared end of the light spectrum. What a load of unfiltered crap.

I'm beginning to think you're right, that the OP is a dedicated spamanista.

LOL... does it really say that? Sounds dangerous, but maybe that's what makes it so light and good for cycling.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to sense something strange. I guess we'll see.

Gee, you guys, why so negative?

Would you want to miss the opportunity to own a watch "made with Tourmaline &
Germanium Infused Silicon?"

I'm going back to see if they have any heavy duty zircon encrusted tweezers ... later

LOL.... I never clicked on the link and just assumed it was a standard POS watch until you guys started coming up with that crap. Boy was I wrong!

7 pages of BS for one little rubber band watch! Holy crap!

It's a pretty nice website, though. That guy should just stick to spamming his web design services instead of wasting money investing in crappy sports watches which emit negative ions.
