definitely not the area you want to compromise in and be reminded, on a nightly basis, of the conflict with the mrs:)

bravo for the wise man's choice!

Hopefully, you will have more fun in the bed than you will with the watch.

Well, on the one hand, a person does spend roughly a 1/3 of one's life in bed, so the bed's worth the investment. That said, I spend more than 2/3's of a day wearing my Explorer, so it is DEFINITELY worth the investment!

Have no hesitation on the Explorer when the time comes. Fantastic watch!

At least you'll be able to dream of the Explorer...and Kate Upton. No wait, that's my dream. Suddenly I need a nap.

Be thankful!!!!

IDK, read some of the posts on here and some seem to disagree!
