I haven't checked prices on this watch, because even though I love Ball watches, and have owned a couple, the gold hands on this model really put me off. Normally I'd pick a white dial over a black one, all other things being equal, but in this case the black dial would be the only version of this model that I would consider.
And the pulse gimmick is ridiculous. But it's a great movement. For those looking for a Ball watch, I'd check some of Ball's other models. They are frequently discounted.
MassdropbearI realize a pulsimeter can be a legitimate medical tool. However, I would think the procedure necessary to determine a reading with this watch would be a bit of a pain in the neck, and probably inaccurate. Besides, this watch is definitely not a popular Ball model, and in my opinion not very attractive.
