This watch has become more popular now a days. I live in Los Angeles, and there are many SMPs here. On average, I will always see someone wearing this watch every weekend when I go out. I remember seeing 4 different people wearing this watch all in the same day. Most of the people I see wearing SMPs look very athletic and well built. I guess we're pretty fitness crazy here.

Interesting thing is whenever you see a person wearing this watch, or any fine watch, that person can sense quickly that you are wearing it also and they will have the "hey, he is wearing the same watch as me" expression.

One time I went shopping for shoes at a department store, and a salesperson from another department came over and said to me "Nice watch" and quickly pulled his shirt sleeve up to show that he was wearing a SMP also.

Well its a good watch, what could you say?
