Re: Seamaster Chrono Auto poor choice 4 Motorcycli
In Response To: Seamaster Chrono Auto poor choice 4 Motorcyclist? ()

hi doug,

can't tell u abt motorbikes, but i can tell u that mountainbiking does not seem to efflect the performance of my planet ocean.

would't worry abt the vibrations, would think they will be quite dampened on a watch on a wrist. shocks/knocks wld be something else.

: Hey folks

: I've wanted a Seamaster Chrono Automatic for
: quite a few years, and now I'm getting to
: where I could afford one. I'm rough on
: everything I own and need a strong, rugged
: watch. However, I ride a motorcycle every
: day, and vibrations are transmitted up
: through the arms. It doesn't feel like much
: to me, but I'm used to it, and a delicate,
: precision piece like a Mechnical watch I'm
: sure would be more sensitive to the
: vibrations.

: What do you think folks, would this be a poor
: watch choice for a daily biker? If so, what
: watch would be a good alternative? I really
: like those new Planet Ocean Chronos.

: Thanks in advance for all replies.
