this kind of stuff is why i dislike breitling
there are exceptions, like the superocean. but ugh. really? a giant blue wifi symbol at the 9? not that i like the rest of the watch, but why does breitling feel the need to do everything like a 2x4 up side the head? subtle as a bull strapped with C4 in a china shop.

And that's probably its actual size
I like it except for the WIFI SYMBOL and I would've prefer a black strap.

Seeing what you guys are saying here. Looks like they are trying to make both
watch fans, and smart watch/gadget fans happy at the same time. Kind of is
like a smart Emergency. Actually don't dislike this one, but see where the colors,
and boldness might turn a lot of people off Greg.
Thanks for the look sir !

Face doesn't look bad but a black strap would complement it much nicer than matching the blue with that monstrosity at 9.
I'm sure someone has been telling Breitling for years that too much "in your face" isn't always a good thing if ever. I'm sure they're still laughing all the way to the bank though

There is one is (almost) every family, and this is it for Breitling unfortunately.
Still lots to like in their stable

Re: this kind of stuff is why i dislike breitling
At some point all this tech shit gets to be a bit too much. Seems like a lot of shit to want to fuck with when it comes to a watch.
But, each to his own. I bet they sell a shitload of that one.
ps: I have yet to understand the compass bezel thing. Seems like all that digi tech would do just fine telling you which way is which.
Oddly, I like the look of the black and blue.

That's not WiFi, it's the Tapatalk unread topics symbol.

But does it provide wifi?, because that could be a useful complication

Might well be very useful, but so is a roofbox, and I wouldn't put one of them on a Ferrari.

Re: this kind of stuff is why i dislike breitling
I actually love this one, everything but that ridiculous wi-fi symbol. Other than that if paired with Breitling's cordura strap it'd be pretty cool.
I like stuff....
Re: this kind of stuff is why i dislike breitling
cool watch terrible wifi symbol...seriously why do they think this needed that?
Re: this kind of stuff is why i dislike breitling
This actually bothers me less coming from Breitling than from another brand. They've always been an in-your-face watch company, and this design reflects that.
That said, I wouldn't wear it.
