My latest toy
I bought this a few weeks ago but am only now using it as I had to get round to adjusting the bracelet.Particularly I like the Meteo function: it uses the barometer and the watch hands to predict rain or fine weather; this is incredibly accurate. The watch is solar powered and has a titanium case and bracelet.
I'm mad - I've got 6 watches now. This one was £835 RRP but I got it for £760. I could have paid less and got it on the grey market but I wanted to purchase from an AD and have the card and warranty.
That is what we do, buy buy buy and not worry about the price as we like the very best....

Re: My latest toy
I was diagnosed as bi-polar once but this seems to have been a mis-diagnosis as I don't ever get very up or very down. Even lately, I've been a bit gloomy but nothing even approaching the level of depression. Buying stuff, though, does give me a temporary high.I think I'm addicted to Swiss watches, though, I have 3, my other 3 watches being much cheaper - this includes an Apple watch which I hardly use anymore.

Re: My latest toy
Thanks. I like how it is touch screen and how the hands move very quickly from function to function. It makes the Apple Watch (which can do a lot more) seem bland and sterile next to it.And it doesn't look expensive or blingy from a distance unlike a couple of other watches I own. I love those, too, though.

Re: My latest toy
Well I guess I'm the odd man out here because I personally think £760 is an absolutely stupid amount of money to exchange for a watch, any watch, save one that is built from precious stones and metals.There is literally no part of the watch that is worth that money. The functionality is lets be fair, basic stuff. I have owned a nautical themed digital watch for years which has both a barometer displaying pressure levels and a compass together with the basics of stopwatch facilities, countdown timer and multiple alarms. Solar power it isn't and I can accept that I would pay a little more for a tiny solar panel but not that much more. My watch cost less than £100.
It's water resitant to 100m but as with most watches of that nature that doesn't mean water proof. It stays dry underwater so long as you don't use the buttons. A common "feature" of most watches that claim underwater depth capability.
The other problem with watches of this kind of functionality is that they are HUGE. Your photo there hides the truth which is that the watch is about a foot deep !
Still, each to their own.
