ASTANA Posted April 16, 2009 Share Hey PPL. Was looking through the Scheldeprijs photos and again noticed all/most of the riders wearing huge wrist watches ? Why is this when you can have everything on the bike mounted display ? I mean - you have cadence HR, watt everything - even day time - so why wear a normal watch with all this ? It seem a bit odd to use it as, its more a mission to look on the watch than on the bike mounted meter/ speedo. I never wear a watch, everything I need to know I can see on my Sel / Mobile phone. So a watch stands out for me, not so common for me. The only reason , stupid actually , I can think of why they would wear a watch is to see Calories burned throughout the day before and after the race, and maybe for when they change bikes. Just a random Question - makes for interesting talk. Add some other random stuff you guys don't understand / or have Questions about the why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
