found this on hwz news itself :)

breitling continues to impress with high accuracy quartz smartwatch

brietling-b55.jpg


According to Breitling, they did not want to create a watch that would mainly serve as a secondary display to our phones. Instead, the roles are reversed here, with the smartphone serving as a secondary display for the B55 Connected's many functions.

The B55 Connected is powered by thermocompensated Breitling SuperQuartz movement that is accurate to a few seconds every year and features a whole host of functions including a 1/100 chronograph, split-seconds chronograph, mission elapsed timer, chrono flight time log, electronic tachometer, second UTC timezone and many more. The problem, however, is that its display is far too small to display all of these information in a legible way. This is where the smartphones come in.

By connecting to your smartphone and using an accompanying app, users will be able to better utilize the Breitling B55 Connected's dizzy array of functions. They can also use their phones to set and calibrate the watch.

New luxury smartwatch segment born with USD8K watch.

At about the same price point, while both watches are quite different, would you choose the new Rolex 39mm oyster perpetual or the limited edition Omega Speedmaster Apollo 13?

I can forsee the new OP being immensely popular. Easiest way to get a Rollie now, Good sized too. Better than airking

Many might disagree because its a lot of money for a very basic model.
LE Speedmaster are play out by Omega that it's not special anymore.

I got it Bnib but grey. Q series - 10xxx :D but nothing close to 11k

Haha I think I will go used. Haha. Come alr got scratches. Haha so won't feel pain when I scratch that
But one thing, go 305. 26mm strap, my current 24mm straps all don't know how.

The 372 also so big.. Thought of 024 polished. Haha don't know which year.. Need find.

Snoopy LE speedmaster is always special

Sent from my heart~~~ using GAGT

Omega boutique is taking deposits for the Snoopy LE. Not sure about the other ADs. Might have to make a decision soon due to the LE reservations :s22:

That's why keep a 44mm to use for straps. :D
