    Question Olympics Watch Watch: Yohan Blake

    Yohan Blake just ran a 9.85 semi-final qualifier in the 100m wearing this beast, what is it?

    You know you're a WIS when you wear a watch to an Olympic qualifying match......and a crazy expensive one to boot.

    That watch might have slowed him down about .4 of a second due to the weight and friction when it hits the air.

    P.S. he topped it with a 9.75 in the 100m final for a Silver medal, still wearing the watch!

    Re: Olympics Watch Watch: Yohan Blake

    I read that there will be some sort of press release from Richard Mille after the games are over due to the Draconian corporate sponsorship policies of the IOC. Has anyone spotted an athlete wearing the "official" timekeeper of the olympics yet?

    It is a very light watch, weighing less than 5g. Nicer than Bolt's Hublot.

    Wow, great catch guys!

    And I'd agree- I feel like Hubolt is a hybrid wannabe AP/wannabe RM. No offense to any hubolt owners!

    Very good catch - I must have watched a replay of the final 15 times and never daw the watch. Did anyone else catch that some %$#@# threw a water bottle in behind the runners just after they were called to the "set" position? Clearly trying to initiate a false start. Hope they publicly flogged the scumbag.
