So I've waited weeks and weeks to finally get my Gen.1 Combi Bracelet delivered from the U.K.

To share the joy of pieces that are on their way…..the anticipation, the fear, the doubt, the impatience…the sheer insanity!

I'm trying really hard to not buy watches left and right (and if I do they're dirt-cheap) but I'm failing miserably.

Hi folks,

I'm contemplating purchasing the GMW-B5000D-1CJF and I'm asking questions to guru's like TTV (thanks buddy) to help me decide
