h2. OAKLEY MINUTE MACHINE Watch - Swiss Chronograph Titanium Bracelet Edition If you let style walk a beaten path, your tracks will never get noticed. The inspiration for OAKLEY MINUTE MACHINE watch was something that leaves its mark. We wanted an authentic design, assertive enough to throw some weight around - even if gravity barely takes notice because the case is made of titanium. We used the same ultra-lightweight metal to create the micro adjustment links, and we optimized comfort by adding self-lubricating thrust washers. The timekeeping precision had to equal the outspoken styling, so this is a true Swiss Made Chronograph with 13-jewel movement and the ability to measure cumulative time, intermediate time and split time. OAKLEY MINUTE MACHINE has as much cultivated refinement as aggressive styling, and that's the kind of rare fusion that makes its own mark. MOVEMENT Swiss Made, gold plated, 13-jewel quartz movement Chronograph: six-hand analog display Large date display 1/10 sec. up to 30 minutes & 10 hour counter 30 minute counter center stop second (1/1 sec) Cumulative and SPLIT functions Minute and hour hand with luminous material Power saving mechanism 48 month battery CASE Impact forged titanium Titanium case back High-precision Computer Numeric Control (CNC) machining Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating Screw down crown for high-pressure endurance 10 bar water resistance (100 meters / 330 feet) Finish: Brushed Titanium

I've had this for 6 months and had to rave about it. I originally had it with the steel links but found it too chunky, but went to Oakley HQs (live nearby) and bought the new rubber strap..wow, now that's the sleek modern look I was hoping for - try it, amazing! The comfort level of the case against my wrist is so light and almost unrecognizable. The design is 'not following the crowd' and it's truly a piece of art. I waited to review to get my first few months in and I'm gushing how great this watch is. It's my "Weekend Watch" and my go to when wanting to look stylish yet unpretentious. I've got a substantial (and expensive) watch collection with automatics and mechanicals, moonfaces to rare metals, and this watch has a place in it's Hall of Fame. A true classic - it's Oakley's version of Rolex's Submariner - this will be Oakley's timeless work-horse. Get one now and own a bit of history.
If you want an aggressive looking watch that says "I spit on your Rolex" this is the watch for you. I received mine as a birthday gift (Thanks B) and could not be any happier with the product. Just one question though...Is the second hand supposed to move? mine stays stationary at 12 and cant seem to get it moving. Advice anyone?
This isn't a good watch. No, It is the absolute best watch I have ever owned. I have a large watch collection(23 watches) and this one is my favorite. It gets nothing but compliments from everyone. They say a watch can say alot about a man, When you are wearing this high class titanium time piece your saying that you are in charge of any situation. Its lightweight for its size, but you know you have big ben on your wrist. If your in the office you look very professional, and sitting in a biker bar you look like your ready to go rounds with the old guy on a moped for being an old guy on a moped.
the best watch i ever had, perfect in all aspect, always gets complimented everytime. no cons just pros. looks heavy, but when your wearing it, is light and comfortable to wear. I have 3 watches total.. really cool, worth for the price.
Pros: Durable, Stylish, Good material, Versatile, Attractive, High quality, Good fit, Comfortable, Rugged, Adjustable, Waterproof
The Oakley Minute Machine is more than a watch: it's a work of art and craftsmanship that cannot be matched. This time piece is without a doubt one of the finest time pieces available anywhere at any price. As with any Oakley product you know you are receiving a product assembled from only the finest materials available.
Oakley was very generous with the fit of the Minute machine. The watch was shipped with enough links to fit just about anyone and equipped with finite adjustment pins in the clasp to dial in the perfect fit. Over the years i have had several large faced watches and have become used to the additional weight associated with such time pieces; however, with any Oakley Product the Minute Machine is in a league all of its own... The construction is pure Titanium so it took me a day to get used to the weight of the Minute Machine but I hardly notice it now. Though the Minute Machine is a bit bulky the only uncomfortable side to this watch is the extra attention it draws when walking around or simply pulling up to a pay for your "white cupped" coffee. If you plan on going unnoticed with this watch you are in for a surprise. The Minute Machine is bar none the best watch you can possible buy: Backed with the intense Oakley Research and Development and the best materials around. Oakley didn't skip a beat with this Masterpiece.
Pros: Durable, Stylish, Good material, Versatile, Attractive, High quality, Good fit, Comfortable, Rugged, Large capacity, Waterproof Cons: i wish the link's discs weren't black plastic
Simply put: This watch is Bad-@#s! It just says "don't mess with me. I know where I'm going and I don't you need your petite help".
I've been wanting to get this watch ever since it first came out and I was finally able to save enough money to buy it. I am extremely pleased with my investment. It's extremely comfortable and just the right amount of weight to it (it lets you know you've got something on). The quality and detail that went into it, is out of this world. From the precision chronographs, down to its wooden storage box. It does wear big on you, but that is one the reasons I love the Minute Machine. The design definitely stands out. People can't help but stare at it when I'm in public and I always get asked about it.
My wife says she doesn't like the bracelet because it looks like a bunch of bullet cases put together. Another reason to like this watch if you're looking for that rugged look.
I would highly recommend this watch to anyone looking for a higher end sports watch.
Pros: Durable, Stylish, Good material, Attractive, High quality, Good fit, Comfortable, Rugged
I have had this watch since it was called the Time Tank. I guess the name changed, but it is the coolest watch I own. Although it is slightly heavy, (it should be since its made from titanium) it is still comfortable to wear. The watch consistently gets positive comments too!
