Is A Garmin Going To Be Your Next Smartwatch? CES 2015 Watch Lineup Looks Strong
At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2015, smartwatches were unsurprisingly a dominating area of new products from both establishes companies and ones new to the game. Garmin looks to be leading the pack with an unprecedented array of new smartwatches ranging from the top-of-the-line Garmin Fenix 3 Sapphire and Epix, to the various "Vivo" products (vivofit 2, vivosmart, vivoactive) that are wearable activity tracking and notification bracelets. More on those in a bit.Garmin vivofit Style Collection Signature SeriesAn initial inspection of what was debuted in terms of smartwatches at CES 2015 doesn't actually show huge amounts of technological innovation, but rather a great focus on fitness wearables and products that people who are even remotely design conscious want to wear. One lesson that brands are learning is that wearables that merely serve as phone notification devices aren't extremely interesting. Having said that, companies are still including phone notification functions in

Import delay with FedEx
My newly acquired and modded 2254.50 was on the other side of the world when I bought and paid for it on Tuesday, July 29. The seller's listing included Paypal fees and FedEx shipping. The seller promptly shipped the next day, Wednesday, with delivery scheduled on Thursday. The watch arrived in the US (Indianapolis, IN) at 2:31 AM on Thursday and was promptly dispatched to Athens, GA where it arrived an hour later with the words: clearance delay - import.Apparently the watch was then returned to Indianapolis where it sat while FedEx requested additional documentation from the seller. At 9:10 PM on August 5, the shipment was released and at 3:36 AM, August 6, departed for Athens, GA again.

In Coming & First Post on PP Forum
Hey guys I want to first say thank you to all that have posted up such informative and helpful information for a newbie like me...I have been reading for weeks and weeks and hours and hours in hopes of making a good decision on my first Patek. The photos alone are enough to get any watch enthusiast wanting a Patek!!This morning I went to look at an Aquanaut 5167...unfortunately this model was on back order. The dealer did have the 5167/1 and it won me over right away thinking down the road I could add the rubber strap to change it up when I wanted. Long story short I traded in my SS Daytona and my SubLV towards the Aquanaut!!!Next week we will complete the transaction, but today has been a roller coaster of emotion hoping I have done the right thing. I still have one Rolex (GMT IIc), Panerai PAM 112, and a Kobold SOA in the stable (others not really worth mentioning). Anyway, the Daytona and Sub were enjoyable but not really keepers in my mind...it just feels strange knowing they will

GMT +15 seconds
My 2 year old 116710ln is running about +15seconds per day, and I am planning to take it down the the Rolex Service Centre on St James Sq, London.Would this be a quick fix or would I need to have it serviced? Also would I have any issues bringing it in on the isofrane which I wear it on ?
