Stu Posted November 20, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkW Posted November 20, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
