Well, at least you can say they didn't try and copy anyone.

I would wear it if you paid me $9,000 every month and even then, only in my house, never out in public.

I have 20 pair of oakleys and one of their watches, the original timebomb it's a great watch. I was sponsored by them when I used to race street bikes in AMA...

I would never buy that. Also that watch seconds as a pocket watch on its chain. You can take the case out of the larger case. Kinda weird.

Fugly IMO Oakley needs to stick to their over priced glasses and cheap t shirts.

Epic fail. Oakley should go back to making glasses. In fact they can skip that as well

FAIL.

I have the original Oakley Timebomb Icon. It supposedly was $1200 back in 2003 or so when it came out. I got mine for about $250 from an Oakley AD that was going out of business. I don't even think it's worth that now.

Oakley tries to make upper echelon watches, but they always fall flat and are priced too ridiculously. Most people can get 25% off right off the bat and others are going in for 50%.

Since they're now owned by Luxxottica, I'm not sure what their new direction is.

If it's anything like the Jawbones I bought awhile back and then decided I didn't really like them, that watch will lose a third of it's value instantly after purchase.

At first glance I thought it was a fancy butane lighter.

I used to work for an Ad agency, I can see Oakley having one contact "whomever" the trendiest rapper is today and giving him one as swag to wear. All of a sudden every 20something will be $10k in debt to have the trendiest yet crappy watch! Wonder if they'll notice that the watch is always minutes ahead or behind their IPhone in the lapse of a week?

That is brutal. But at least it protects your wrist from dangerous uv rays much like their sunglasses do.
