The only official Taycan watch

The sub-second is designed to match the optional Porsche-Design clock on the Taycan.

I sometimes wear this to "match" my Neptune Blue Taycan.

Currently have:
- Rolex GMT Master II BLNR (“Batman”)
- Longines Master collection L2.673.4.78.3
- IWC Portugieser Chronograph
- Tudor Pelagos
- Breitling Montbrillant
- Omega Seamaster
- Bell & Ross BR 03-92
- Dornblueth 99.5
- Dornblueth 99.6M Mondphase

I used to wear them every day, rotating regularly, but since I got an Apple watch I find myself only using them for special occasions and the nice watches stay in the safe - such a shame, I really must wear them more!!

While I had an iWatch it was one of those which didn’t display all the time and I ended up with it on my right wrist and a “proper” watch on my left.
In the end the touch screen face had the” jack of all trades master of the unwanted selection” too often and I gave it to my son.

I use a Withings smart watch now, with a face and hands, all the fitness stuff I need (ie not much) and a month battery life so now I don’t wear the “proper” watches at all.

Agree - I have one of these but do wear mechanicals when I don't need the monitoring stuff.

I have the green one and a more conventional size and weight one, I alternate.

I think that would look a bit better balanced and easier to read if the hour markers at 2, 4, 8 and 10 were dots and not batons.
Just imo...

I paid MSRP, I think it was 35k (US). Secondary market this watch is pretty insane. Not my most expensive watch, but the hardest one to get that I have had.

Out of interest how long were you on the waiting list for this ?

since I first heard about it when released. Maybe 3 years?

I refuse to ‘double watch’!

I thought it was a bit daft, one of the two reasons I got rid of the iWatch.

Had this for a few months now and love it. Garmin EPIX 2 + leather strap.

Perhaps a bit overkill if you don't do much outdoors stuff, but I really enjoy speedhiking and trail running, especially when living and working abroad. The OLED screen with maps and gpx coordinates makes it less likely I'll kill myself or run off a cliff.

Otherwise the daily analytics it provides is fun if you're a data geek.

16 day battery life, which is also why I have never bothered with a smartwatch before. Daily charging is a joke. With this, 24-30 charges a year finally makes it a sensible choice.

The watch I really want and will own one day is a Patek Nautilus.

Perhaps I should get one of those instead of the Porsche ?
