I totally agree. I recently got a Mega1000 and was impressed with the high build quality. The bracelet is great.
I've also got a Mega1 which is a really cool design.
It's quite an extravagance for someone who lives in Australia, where they'll never sync.
Actually I'm in the middle of trying to build a GPS (or PC) driven DCF77 transmitter. I've seen a few designs on the web and don't think it'll be too difficult. I'll update on the forum if I get it going.
Rgds,
Andrew.
