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.

Almost ditched my PO for a Rolex
Almost��I've loved watches since I was in junior high, and always wanted a Submariner. We made bonus at work this year, so I figured I would finally treat myself to the watch I've always wanted. The only problem was, when I went to the jeweler to try on a new Sub C No Date I was very underwhelmed compared to my Planet Ocean, the Rolex felt like a toy in comparison. I know heavy isn't always good, but the PO (and it's bracelet) just felt rock solid in comparison. I know some complain the PO is too heavy, so it's a matter of taste I guess. The deal breaker for me though was the glossy dial on the Sub C�� It just wasn't my cup of tea, maybe it was the jewelry store lighting that accented it, I don't know. Now the Sea Dweller on the other hand was beautiful, I just couldn't justify another $3,000 for a matte dial.So, probably to my wife's relief, I left without my dream watch, and felt even better about my PO. I've had the watch for over 5 years now and wear it 24/7. It's beat up, s

What to do... Sell... Keep. I can't decide. What are thoughts?
I have a mid-size Omega Seamaster Professional that I bought for myself brand new back in 1997. Loved the watch and it served me well to this day. I've always had is serviced at Swatch Canada Group in Toronto, 3 times and the last visit I had the works done to it and the lume is nice and bright again. Anyhow, now that I have my two Rolex watches that I enjoy very much I no longer wear the Seamaster and it is just sitting in the safe. I keep swinging back and forth as to whether or not I should sell it. Sometimes I think I should hold onto it and hope that the used price for Omega watches go up. Or just bite the bullet and sell at close to market value. What are your advices?Thanks

Hi. Today's watch, the Planet Ocean Chrono is the eldest one in my collection. Its only 2.5 years old but it is the watch that started this wonderful hobby for me and so is very special to me. To be honest I love this watch as much today as I did when I brought it. In the summer I purchased the Orange Allogator strap for it. Now its winter again I decided to put the Stainless Steel Back on.
