Oakley?

I know this is a strange question, I saw an Oakley watch while at the eye doctor the other day. Do they have any real cred or is it just street cred bs? Two grand us seems a bit much for a silly looking fashion statement.

I had no idea Oakley manufactured watches. I do fancy their opticals though

I guess that they are just cashing on the fame of their glasses.

I wouldn't expect their watches to be anything special, other than probably have some avant-garde/sporty look (I haven't seem them, but that's what I would expect based on what their sun glasses look like).

It seems that a lot of brands are doing that, expanding into other areas where they weren't before, based on their success in some areas (like Under Armour getting into running shoes).

i have 2 versions of this watch, no diamonds for me though, i have the titanium band version with the dark face, and the leather band with the red face. they get more attention than any other watch i have. i have been an oakley fan since i was a kid, 19 pairs of glasses (sun and rx), 4 watches, and all kinds of NOS bmx items.
