Nope! Accidents are going to happen; I hit the root of a tree last year and fell into a lake! I’ve been riding for forty-five years and have crashed numerous times that would have killed any metal watch.

Be careful. Use Casio for riding.

Yup, a Casio g shock is the perfect bicycling watch, light, tough, precise & like a cockroach will live long!

G-shock all the way.

Cycling computer, no watch

I've done it with my Omega Planet Ocean and Rolex GMT, now sometimes with this:

But if your watch can survive a crash and burn is another story

MTB parks or skateparks? Yes and no, respectively.

I'm in California, Skypark is my spot. A lot of ladders, a lot of drops. I asked about skateparks because I took my dirt jumper to a couple of skateparks and I was afraid I was going to kill myself. Truth is, cross-country racing is more my thing.

The Submariner quite likely protected your son from losing some skin.

Nice! That's a long long run. Nothing that long around here. Watching that was making me tired. You riding a 6" bike, or a downhill bike (aka motorcycle sans motor.)?

cc75 · 11 October 2018, 06:31 AM

Do it every week-end.
