I do like the Max Bill. I'm just not sure when I'd wear one in my current collection.

It is connected, no it's not going to China. It's Google's Android Wear, I think they'd notice if stuff was amiss. Besides, EVERYTHING is made in China these days anyway...

Also Huawei are now the 4th largest(?) mobile manufacturer in the world - they wouldn't be able to get away with it.
think you need to do some googling. Huawei are pretty naughty.
I think you need to put the tin foil away. Most of BT Openreach runs on Huawei switching so if anything nefarious were going on it's all happening there anyway. Which it isn't.
..... But what if it was?

If you think Google don't know exactly what's running on their Nexus phones and Android watches you're deluded...

post a pic when it's complete please, be interested to see what it's like, as I love 'em with leather..
As requested, I like the leather but the mesh just adds a little more class.

That's very clean for pre-owned, not normally a fan of Rolex but I would certainly be happy with one like that.

I couldn't begin to consider £100k on a watch, even if I had it...

Russell, what made you decide it was worth it?
