Bridger Watch

[2531usmc]

Who has $5k to spend on a rifle setup? Or $1500 on a fly rod and reel? Or whatever a high end set of golf clubs costs? $5k for a set of giant shiny wheels?

Any hobby or interest has people willing to spend what seems like a crazy amount.

It’s one thing to spend that kind of money on products from known, trusted, businesses like garmin, Rolex, or Apple.

It’s another thing altogether to spend that kind of money on watch made by “who the hell knows”, software that may have come from a bunch of high school kids on their Mac, and backed by some random dude with a tv show.

I'm not saying I'd buy the watch.

But the price point doesn't seem like it would be a barrier at all.

I still use a analog pocket watch. It was my great grandpas made in 1882. I had recondition about 25 years ago.

A rifle is a tool necessary to hunt, a fly rod and reel is crucial to catch a fish. A set of golf clubs…a tool for the tools. Giant shiny wheels? Well if they whistle then it’s worth it.

A watch for hunting? Same kind of human that thinks that will help them be successful is the same that will be first inline for the keep hammerin micro chip.

A Seekins with a Tenmile and titanium suppressor isn't necessary. Neither is an Orvis Helios and Ross reel... Or whoever makes nice golf clubs, or American Force wheels.

But there's plenty of people willing to pay for a premium version in anything.

And a GPS watch while hunting is really nice.

I don't think it should be too much of a stretch to see how a watch could help, just scroll through a list of smartwatch features and ask yourself if you could use them.

Obviously the watch will not turn a 350 pound couch potato who hasn't set foot on anything other than pavement for 30 years into a trophy harvesting machine. But is a compass on my wrist nice? Yea. Flashlight, GPS waypoints, sunrise/sunset times, altitude? All useful and nice.

Then there is all the fitness stuff as well. I cant just go pound out runs the way I used to. I have to train smarter now, and so I really pay attention to HR zones, my aerobic vs anaerobic loads. All this definitely helps me be more successful in hunting.
