Stu Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 They are bought because they are beautiful pieces of engineering excellence and a joy to own. So are bikes and thats where I would rather spend my money Quote
Stu Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 but my bike has a clock in the display, so the watch is pretty much redundant when I'm out on the bike anyway...... I think most bikes have a clock on board these days! I can't wear a watch when riding and I wouldn't to be honest I have the time on the dash and on my sat nav but on other bikes I have owned I had nothing! if I was out for a ride time was usually irrelevant Quote
mikestrivens Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 They are bought because they are beautiful pieces of engineering excellence and a joy to own. So are bikes and thats where I would rather spend my money But very few bikes appreciate in value like a quality watch does. Quote
MarkW Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 Time is necessarily linear and incremental for the watch-wearer, and as I refuse to be shackled to a linear existence I don't wear one. Quote

This is true but a watch wouldn't bring me as much enjoyment as a bike Its each to their own at the end of the day but its not for me..... Probably because I don't have that sort of money to splash out on a watch Quote

Probably because I don't have that sort of money to splash out on a watch I have both and get enjoyment from both. Oh and driving my classic Mercedes. Quote
