I get the age old adage of function over form....

But I mean if the function is right on track, the form really shouldn't lag behind a whole lot but that doesn't seem to always be the case, I mean companies like Garmin have made some pretty big strides. For example their first triathlon watch was HUGE

I mean common, look at that thing..... it's MASSIVE.  So Garmin went away and came out with an improved version the next go around

But let's be honest here, this thing looks more or less the same, they did improve functionality as well as battery life.  The third time around their engineers actually go the message and they started to slim it down

The new one is on the left so you can see that it's definitely better.  So they're getting better at making a watch people will actually want to wear, because it doesn't really how great a product you have, if it looks like shite no one is going to wear it/use it.  The last go around, they've slimmed it down as much as they can and it actually looks pretty good, much like all of their current generation watches

Old, Newer, Newest.  So Garmin has done a really good job of making something that needs to be big at least reasonable, and the ones that don't need to big (the straight up running ones)

A big thanks to Ray over at DCrainmaker, who I'm pretty sure all of these pictures belong to him, at some point and time probably before someone tampered with the watermarking.

However Polar has just released a new watch this morning and holy crapola it looks AMAZING

Common Garmin why can't you make something with a little bit more red, or even blue if it doesn't fit with your color scheme.  I love black, and I lover silver, but would it kill you guys to put a bit more color into your produce, like make the Garmin lettering blue..... or something. Alright there's my rant, it's done, happy weekend guys.
