Is the “new “ Airking the perfect lawyers watch


One of the great appeals of the Airking for me is that I bill my clients in 5 minute increments, in the same way lawyers do ( I am not a lawyer ) So in essence it serves as a true tool watch for me.
Whilst browsing the internet I came across another tool watch specifically aimed at lawyers which does practically the same thing , I just feel the Rolex does it with a little more style and panache.

Lol. I thought there was a new airking I had missed out on a new release.

For the several lawyers who have been awesome for me, wish I could buy them these in platinum.

I would have thought the most obvious choice would be the Daytona. Start the chrono when you commence the interview. Stop ot at the end and voila. All sorted!

Lawyers bill in 6 minute increments. Tenths of an hour. 18 min = .3 billable hours. A watch is useful as an attorney for many reasons including billing time.

You don't need to be a barrister to appreciate this watch.

One of the greatest words of all time.
Nice watch! The AK has come a long way from the tiny plain face of yesteryear.

Wow, I think you just insulted the poster, Jesus, dogs, and comedians in one sentence. Maybe the poster doesn't give a crap at your comment, but maybe he does. Poor form.

This comment went completely over my head , perhaps a cultural misunderstanding , therefore I feel no need to be offended, I would ask for an explanation of the joke but as everyone knows if a joke needs explaining it loses its resonance, so I will accept your view that it’s also a great watch for the canine species.

As a matter of interest would a golden retriever wearing a Rolex be considered a watch dog?

Depends on what kind of lawyer. If plaintiff's attorney, I'd think a Platona or GMT meteor, to show your success at getting judgments.

Public defender's office: Timex.

Well that would certainly explain my bills when I have had the pleasure of interacting with the legal profession, I assume lawyers also roundup to the nearest 6th minute?

Yes.
As for the Air King. I do like the legibility of the minutes. Usually I use my computer for tracking my time.
