New Leatherman product coming in 2015...
on: September 27, 2014, 05:33:11 AM
Hey guys!
Ran into an old buddy tonight. He's got a new job, for a company we all know.
He had something interesting to show me :



He told me this was a preview of a new product, coming in 2015.
Haven't been active here much lately, but I couldn't pass up snapping some pics for you guys...

Thank you for sharing.  :tu:

I will say it is interesting and look forward to seeing how well it does once it hits the market.

If your buddy has the inside info at Leatherman I would love to hear about anything else he can share with us.  :whistle:

I wouldn't want that watch (I think there is also a law against wearing non-Swiss watches). But if they make a bracelet, I would like that.
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

Well I was thinking of maybe two, one for me, and another for my collection. Then I realized my wrist are huge, and whenever I buy a watch with a steel band, I tend to have to add 3 or 4 links. Leather bands I can never find for my size. Some rubber wrist bands are just long enough. My current EDC, a Casio Pathfinder, just fits. With time and a bit of stretching, I can now manage the second last hole...which is good as the end of the strap can now be tucked under the strap keeper...just.  :facepalm:

So thinking to myself...can one buy extra links...and might they come in Robertson like the one photo shows?  >:D  :D

it looks pretty terrible to me too.

No reach on the drivers, you need acres of clearance round them and if you put and torque on them you'll be wrenching the links round.
Plus the strap and the actual watch bit both look silly.
And it's got lots of sticky-outy-bits to get caught on things.

I am really looking forward to taking my watch off every time I want to tighten a screw. Sarcasm

Neat find, Mr. Dodge, and thanks.  But if I eat about 6 chili dogs and go straight to bed, I have nightmares that sorta look like that watch band.

I'm not sure how I feel about this one.

My wife on the other hand really liked it.

IL get one if it's cheap enough.

That is if it ever passes from the prototype stage into production.

IMO, I doubt it ever will. The concept is great, the execution poor.  ::)

I ikle it. I don't think it is meant to be a loot. Kinda has a steampunk or industrial look to it.
