Union jack G Shock

[Adrian W]

On telly just now Christopher Dean was wearing a union jack G shock, googled it and nothing anyone know if they are available or are a Team GB thing?

Sure it was a G-Shock, not a Timex T5K586 Ironman?

On daybreak breakfast TV, looked like a White Gshock with a Union Jack face

There is a stars and stripes G-Shock, but not a union flag one as far as I know.

But accept it may not be a Gshock

Could be this Adidas watch:

Given that team GB (and ambassadors) is sponsored by Adidas, this seems more likely.

Crikey, I have been doing triathlons for the last 5 years and I can't believe that I haven't bought myself one of these yet. Does anyone know if it times your event including the transitions? That is, logs the 3 activities plus the period between swim/cycle and cycle/run. Nothing on the Amazon page so will have to google the Timex site.

ETA It's not showing on the Timex site but I have just ordered one from Amazon. £30 including free P&P. Plan is to give it to Mrs Weasel for her training...

BTW, it's a Union Flag not Jack.
It's on a Union Jack when on a water going vessel
Oh,
And although could be considered patriotic, it's really really tacky

I am married to a (admittedly anglocised) Yank. She'd wear a flag on everything she possesses given half a chance!
