Whoa, thanks for sharing! Hadn't heard about this, but this makes more sense to me than the entire-thing-is-a-screen smartwatch model. Looking at a nice watch is more pleasant than looking at a tiny screen; the whole world just got done figuring out it hates small screens.

I don't get it. Is it supposed to be more convenient to pull out your phone to run the chronograph than simply pushing a crown.

Seems really cool if you need all those functions. Which probably 99.9% of people dont. But still very cool. Kinda like a smartwatch.

Looks great if you're a pilot and want to time certain things. Otherwise, it's just a fun novelty, IMHO.

When I flew frequently, I was always crap at keeping track of my flight time. I think this would have been helpful. To me at least.

I agree is probably overkill for the majority of people who would own it, but it sure has enough going on it would be hard to be bored with it. LOL Hell.. I dont need it but that video pumped me, now I want one.

A bluetooth connected phone with a giant WiFi logo. Nice one design team.

I always thought the wifi logo pointed upward. This is looks more like a generic connection icon to me.

Lots of people seem to hate the icon on there, but really, of course Breitling is going to clutter the dial and take it too far. That is what they do

You can set the time and alarms. This watch has more than a simple chrono
