Bought this exact piece when I was in St. Thomas in January: Tag Carrera chronograph - automatic w/ the rubber strap ![http://www.wristwatchreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/02/tag-heuer-carrera-mtc.jpg](http://www.wristwatchreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/02/tag-heuer-carrera-mtc.jpg) I LOVE it. Rubber strap is a bit more comfortable. Plus, rubber strap to most people = cheap fuck, so chances of getting robbed just went down. ---

What functionality could you possibly need from a watch? I’ve always thought of watches as clothing accessories. They are there for looks, not functionality. IMO. They should just be able to show time and that’s it. If you need a stop watch, etc. just use your phone. Everyone has one, and most phones have lap times, etc. which is better. Why would you need 4 different dials packed into a little watch to tell you certain things? That’s just me though. Too each his own. ---

I love my Fossil watches…had them both 5+yrs, they’ve gone through just about everything imaginable that a watch could go through, and survived. And all they show is time. ---

The dial on the left is for the second hand. The big orange hand on the main dial is the second hand for the chronograph, and the other two dials are also for the chronograph if it goes over a certain amount of time. I’d much rather have a watch that has excess features and is accurate than one that lacks an essential feature and is inaccurate. ---
