Well Gentlemen,
Welcome to the latest installment of Chrono-Commentary. I am excited to share today's review of the Bell & Ross BR01-92-S. It is such a killer watch. Everything about it is just tough! The weigh and feel of the watch are incredible and it just looks so great on. Check out the video and let me know your thoughts!
So there you have it, The Bell & Ross BR01-92-S. As I mentioned, the BR01 is not a part of my collection, but is is defiantly on my wish list.
Now, I really am curious what the "Do Not Unscrew" screw does..... If you know, let me know. It makes me think of the Ren & Stimpy "Space Madness" Episode! I just want to press the red History Eraser Button!!!!
You can get into some super high price points on these, just like any luxury watch brand, but Bell & Ross offers a great selection of Bell & Ross Instruments for under $4000.
So as always, If you found this review useful and want to ad a model of your very own to your collection..... Check out some of my pics and get it here! Until next time.

Suunto Core - Part 2... The Saga Continues
Welcome back!
So in this video we will be going over the setting and "back-of-house" functions on the Suunto Core. Sooooooo this one might be useful if you are considering getting one, but kinda boring if your not. Either way, please enjoy and feel free to leave feedback or questions if I missed anything.
FYI......
I have some freebies coming up.....
Get on the email list to stay in the loop.

Suunto Core-Chapter 1: what the hell it does
Well Gentelmen,
Here it is, Part one of the Suunto Core Saga.
I will post another video in the next few days...
A few things that I will point out right now: The crystal does have a bit of glare, and is a little difficult to read in direct sunlight. It's not terrible, but it is noticeable. The back light isn't very bright, but it is readable.
When I took this Jeeping, I had to stop at the "Welcome To" sign to set the current altitude so that the altimeter worked properly.
Past these minor inconveniences... the watch performs flawlessly! I love mine and if you know the tech side of it that you have to deal with, it will be a great watch for you. We camp, hike, fish, Jeep, and backpack in pretty rugged country every summer, and this watch has been a great addition. If you're just looking for something big for under $300... get a Diesel, Nixon, or Fossil. If you spend any time outdoors, you wont regret the purchase. I mentioned that the storm alarm goes off A LOT... but it truly gives good warning. Use your judgment. If it looks like its getting bad, it probably is. It is great for fly fishing! When the pressure drops, the fish are more active on the surface...... Just saying.

The delay...... And what comes next.
Gentlemen,
Welcome back Crono-Cmmentary. Well, my goal of posting new content every week has fallen short more quickly than I had anticipated! I was easily side tracked by my "Dirty 30" birthday weekend, followed directly by an event at the jewelry store. However, I have a few more watches to review and some new videos in the pipeline. It looks like there were several views for the Ziiiro Gravity that posted last and I appreciated the question. I hope that is was helpful.
Here is what we have working for this week and next week:
First we will be looking at the Suunto Core Wrist-Top Computer. This is the all black military edition, and I gotta say, I have really enjoyed mine.
I bought this one about 8 months ago specifically for camping, Jeeping, and hiking, and it has been an awesome piece. The picture here was near the summit of a Jeep trail outside of Silverton, CO. My guidebook said that the summit altitude was at 12,700, so you can see that it is fairly accurate.
So, for those familiar with this watch I have heard problem with water resistance, and with accuracy, and I haven't personally had any foggy crystals. Now the thermometer is a bit useless unless you take it off for like an hour, but the rest of the functionality has been great.
For those of you who don't know much about this one... here are the basics.
Real-time vertical cumulative value: Yes
Temperature compensation: Yes
Total ascent/descent: Yes
User-removable logbook files: Yes
Automatic Alti/Baro switch: Yes

Barometer range: 300 to 1,100 mbar

So basically, its like the Swiss Army Knife of watches. I will post a video review later this week to show you what the watch looks, feels, and works like.
