I do not understand the anger in any of this. No one is being told they need to buy this watch.
If someone wants to buy this watch, more power to that person. Many people like to buy the latest things that are on the market for sale.
Why do people buy only Rolex watches?
Why do people only buy Nike products?
But to get upset over a watch you will never buy?
Anyway have a have a nice day......A lie goes around the internet before anyone ever fact checks it if it is true or not. In most cases no one ever checks anything they just accept it as fact.....

Anger? What makes you think there's any anger? Even a smiley was there
Also, my comment essentially agrees with yours. I was going to mention rolex too, btw

They do and the pic you posted is a really good example, other than the compass none of those other instruments are navigational

When going bush I'm using my Fenix and now Enduro 3 more often than my handhelds as it's simply more convenient for quick navigation decisions.
Saying a watch on a wrist is only a fashion statement is probably the same comment was made by those who could only understand dragging a fob watch out of their clothing to tell the time.
