rumors were the B55 Connected did not exist and was a concept only - clearly untrue as my friends from Ace Amsterdam just sent me this video of a functioning B55 on the wrist of Jean-Paul Girardin, straight from this evenings's Breitling Party:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OL6UaYaXz ... e=youtu.be

what apparently IS true is that the B55 Connected will NOT be shipped in the current form, so neither pricing nor a shipping date for such a "connected" Breitling are available, will try to get a clearer picture tomorrow.

Good to see it exists, but I'm still totally unconvinced about it's purpose.

Have to agree that the B55 in concept is a nice entree into the tech market, but not a add to the collection in anyway for me. The B50 had so many challenges can't see this being any better whether it manages to merge the market or not. Appreciate you sharing the video.

That might give them some impetuous to alter the wired logo for something a little smaller. :lingsrock:

I'm a firm believer that the luxury Swiss watch brands should not be entering the smart watch market, it's breaking with watch making/horological tradition.

Let's leave the smart watches to the computer companies: Apple, Samsung, Microsoft etc. Just my opinion.

Judged purely on its merits as a smartwatch this is the dumbest of them all.
