I got one off the them last year. Top quality and great service. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.

It does look good, indeed. I won't order one, though, because I usually wear a wrist watch (and check what the time is at traffic lights) and I don't feel like using that gap in the handlebar because I'm still trying to figure out what kind of holder, bag, or whatever I might use to put my mobile phone in and use the sat nav feature those times you need it. So far I haven't seen anything of my liking :cry: .

But in sunny Yorkshire the wristwatch is generally under quite a bit of clothing....

And believe me that I understand :lol: . 22 ºC out there right now, and sunny skies. But come here in February, and you'll find our weather somehow similar to your Yorkshire weather. We don't get that much sun here in the north of Spain.

My Yorkshire Terrier, sitting beside me right now, agrees with me ;) .

Yep, qed. I was born here, lived in Barcelona from 3 months old up to 9 years old, then moved back here. I have lived and worked in other provinces (and countries) but family is here, friends are here, and even though we don't have the best weather (by Spanish standards) this is a great place to live for a good number of reasons.

We fancy moving to the greener part of Spain in the next five years, once the kids have left ( :roll: ). Were already four years into an applied Spanish degree by way of preparation.

It's a good idea. This is quite peaceful, lively, safe, people is nice, there aren't too many tourists, food is excellent, prices are reasonable and for en Englishman, the weather will be quite mild. Still, during winter it's possible to see rain on a daily basis during two or three weeks, and overcast in the sky is quite common. I know people from the south who get frustrated at this, I have no problem :lol: .

Ok, I'll bring this back to the OP's topic.The clock is a outstanding quality addition to the PCX. But with hat being said, I have not worn a watch in over 12 months and really don't need to be anywhere or be on time. Retirement changes one's perspective.

But, if I was comutting to work i would buy one and it would look Ike it came on the bike as original equipment because it is a top notch accessory.

I used to use a nurse's fob watch velcro'd to the fuel filler with the fob tucked under the fuel filler.
It was a very cheapie chinesey job and chucked it the other week.
I now have a bicycle computer mounted on the handlebars.
£6.99 Lidl ;)

Could be some bargains coming up at Hein Gericke, they have gone into administration.
