Or married ones with an awesome wife that says, “treat yo self” at the Dubai mall!
Fighter dudes got issued the garmin fenix after the rash of physiological episode for the pulse ox. Curious if the watch helped at all.
I got my Breitling after my first kid was born. I already had an X-33 but I had been wanting one for a while and I found one for a good price (CONA, purely sentimental). But I was hesitant to pull the trigger due because I felt bad about spending that sort of money with a newborn around. And my wife said “just get it, if you don’t you’ll always regret it”. Super awesome. And obviously, she was right. #noragrets
All over to what you want.
Whatuvit? mad dog lives in the free state of Indiana. He ain't no slave of the Pagistani state.
As a guy with a boat in his yard that can be seen from the street I won't bemoan someone their freedoms...but it does look like he lives on a nice street. I'm sure there are plenty of pearls being clutched every time the mini bike comes out. We had a ruckus in our neighborhood last year when someone called the cops on some kids in a golf cart. Kids dad is a LEO. Hilarity ensued (at least from my view from the cheap seats).
Which someday will require a quid pro quo at about 3 or 4 times the cost of the Breitling...
They're no longer allowed in any type of classified space, so very few people wear it. I don't wear it to work or to fly at all. I have a buddy that calls it his "golf watch". It's great for that and any other outdoor activities you enjoy.
It’s issued but you can’t wear it in classified spaces? Like a cockpit?
No, like a SCIF.
Nope. I know pilots that don't even wear a watch. However, I find having a watch that is set to GPS time is nice to have, particularly if GPS time isn't available for some reason. I happen to like a watch that can keep track of GMT as well as local time, and be easily updated for my current time zone. Timers and chronos are occasionally useful, but aircraft are usually equipped with enough timing features that I sometimes forget I can use my watch.
