B5 Watches

SquidgySquidgy Earthforce Officer
I'm just curious - of those who got those badass B5 watches, how well are they holding up these days?

Mine is still one of my prized posessions, and the envy of my brother, who didn't get one. It's survived suprisingly well for all these years, although it's required some maintenance since it first arrived - I had to get the battery replaced, and when the band got damaged, I replaced it with a metal of almost the same tint (improving the look, imho).

So, what's the status on your watch? :)

    I've had to replace the battery once and get a new strap for it (the old one literally broke in half). I haven't worn it since getting the new strap.
  • Mine is still in brand new condition.

    My mouse mat however.....someone sat a cup of cofee on it leaving a faint ring, does anyone know of a way to remove it?

    Wow!! That is one hell of a wicked watch!!
    Is that strap the original?I've had an X-files one that has still lasted but that B5, that really takes the biscuit!! The XF one only had a plastic black strap.
    Guess the B5 ones sadly aren't around then anymore. Perhaps I'll get lucky on ebay.

    The original strap is a thinish black leather strap.

    The watches were given out free by Sierra after the cancellation because they could no longer sell them and storing them would cost money, so someone there convinced management that it would be better to give them, as well as the mouse pads and posters, away rather than just dump them. So, provided we paid shipping, we could get a watch and either a poster or a mousepad.

    Is good they didn't just chuck them out.

    Yeah, that would have been through evil and out the other side.

    Mine are still in the shipping box. They will stay there until the kids are old enough not to destroy them.
