Breeeeoooooo, Breeeeeeoo, I want a Breo and I want one NOW!

Trio! Remember that chocolate biscuit advert? Well, this has nothing to do with it, but it's the song I get in my head every time I put on my Breo watch for training... 

Here's the lowdown: The outlaws brought back a Breo sport watch for me from their travels in America in 2009 ish. Then at Snowbombing a couple of years ago, Breo were a sponsor and I got given a goody bag which included a sport watch and a pair of rubberised Wayfarer-style sunglasses called 'Uptones' (which have featured before in my blog posts). The watches in particular have been absolutely fantastic for sports, particularly in my role as a Cheer-coach. During training sessions no jewellery or watches are allowed (for safety reasons when doing stunts) and if I'm helping out or spotting stunts I need to make sure I'm just as careful as my athletes, but it's pretty hard to keep to a session plan without keeping my phone or watch in my pocket and constantly having to get it out to find out the time.

The Breo watches (and indeed all their products) are made with a strange rubbery textured stuff that is super elastic (and therefore safe to wear at training!) but also come in lots of lovely colours - perfect for matching to your team-wear. So it's safe to say I was already a big Breo fan.

Along comes another fantastic product. The Breo BagBuddy. Bonza. This is one step beyond brilliant. Same rubberised watch, same simple to read display - totally different style. The BagBuddy as you might expect, instead of going on your wrist, is designed to loop through your bag or rather, as I've been using it, through a belt loop on your trousers. Now if I have to show a stunt or technique during coaching, or at my own team training sessions - I just attach it to my troosers and away I go! I think it will also be supremely helpful at Roller Derby sessions, as you definitely can't wear a watch if you've got wrist guards on...

Currently it is attached to my training bag, all ready for use (and brilliantly not getting lost in the bottom of said bag...). I decided on the Mint colour option for a bit of brightness, as my other two watches (a Roam Elite and a Roam Twist) are black, but it does also come in Black, Navy and Purple for the fantastic price of £15. Unfortunately for me, by doing the links for this blog post, I've accidentally perused the entire collection some more, and am now coveting new sunglasses and a black/silver Twilight Classic Watch...
