it's tackiness like this that makes me dislike breitling
in general. there are exceptions. but really?

do they really need a giant, blue wifi signal marker at 9? not that there aren't other things to dislike about this watch, but why must breitling do everything like a 2x4 upside the head?

It's fugly. They're capable of so much more. Sadly, they make these because shock horror people will actually buy them. I've yet to meet these people haha...

Re: it's tackiness like this that makes me dislike breitling
You know liking or not liking something is very subjective. I happen to like this a lot, now don't get me wrong i wouldn't dream of ever putting myself forward as a man of impeccable good taste. I just look at things and decide whether or not I like them or not. This I like.

Re: it's tackiness like this that makes me dislike breitling
Breitling make some fantastic watches, and some real munters. Like all manufacturers really.
Which ones fall into which category are purely down to personal taste, and long may that continue.
Personally, I don't like this one!!

Lose the blue wifi symbol and strap and I am definitely down with that!
The only problem with those reverse lcd screens is that they are bloody hard to read when looking at a stopwatch - goodness only knows how difficult it will be to see phone numbers etc that will scroll across them.

Re: it's tackiness like this that makes me dislike breitling
i realize that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and i won't begrudge anyone for liking some of the busier breitlings (even if i can't stand them). but the stupid wifi thing just gets to me.

Yes the wifi sign is an absolute amateur mistake.
I miss all the great things that may never be.
Re: it's tackiness like this that makes me dislike breitling
I am happy to confirm I will not be buying one of these. Subtle it ain't.

Re: it's tackiness like this that makes me dislike breitling
I'm with you on this. I do not like Breitling at all, and what people see in them other than the name is simply beyond me. This latest abomination simply comfirms my feelings.
