Seriously, like i must see 20-30 AW per day minimum. I've never even encountered one ultra, ever. What do you think the percentages actually are? Why are the percentages so high here? Just surrounded here by AW aficionados or something? It's begun to feel surreal.

But not on roadies. Think of the added weight!

I ride mtb and road and got one primarily to save weight. Don’t have to carry my phone anymore with LTE on the watch. Half joking on the weight, but I’ve also broken a few phones mtbing so that’s another benefit.

I’m a roadie and I like to keep my jersey pockets free. Easier to get a jacket or something out while riding if you don’t have a phone in there as well.

It's titanium so it's still lightweight. The real issue is the aero drag it causes.
