OBJ plans to keep wearing $190K watch in games

View attachment 22464

Cleveland Browns star Odell Beckham Jr. said that he still plans to wear in games the luxury watch that he sported in the season opener against the Tennessee Titans.

"I'll still be wearing it," Beckham said Tuesday. "The same way I wear it every day I go to practice, when I go here, I go there, been wearing it. Take a shower with it on. It's just on me."

NFL spokesman Michael Signora said earlier in the week that while the league has no rules prohibiting jewelry, it does have a policy "prohibiting hard objects." He also said the league would address the matter with Beckham and the Browns, who play at the New York Jets next Monday night.

Beckham countered that the Richard Mille timepiece -- which retails for around $190,000 -- is plastic and thus "shouldn't be an issue," although Beckham indicated he hadn't spoken to the league about it yet.

Unless he has some secret endorsement deal with the watch company and wants the publicity; why would anyone want to a $190K watch in a professional football game. If he wants to know the time can't he just look at the scoreboard?

Also, what's in a plastic watch that makes it worth $190K anyway?

Apparently these watches are a "big deal" to other professional athletes too. Just saw this article:

Bubba Watson's most expensive piece of equipment is an $825,000 watch

  • One of Bubba Watson's endorsements is with Richard Mille watches.
  • The high-end watch maker made a model just for Watson, with a retail value of $825,000.
  • The watch has a g-sensor that can tell Watson how fast his club is traveling during swings.


Bubba Watson's most expensive piece of equipment at the Masters costs more than three-quarters of a million dollars, and all it can do is tell him how hard he is swinging and whether or not he will make his tee time.

In 2014, Richard Mille introduced the RM 38-01, a mechanical tourbillon watch with a titanium case designed just for Watson. According to Richard Mille, the retail price for the watch is $825,000, and only 50 were made.

Beyond the light weight and style Richard Mille watches are known for, the most striking feature of the 38-01 is a g-sensor on the face that's capable of measuring the g-force of Watson's swing up to 20 Gs.

Just sayin': Who knows, maybe Odell Beckham Jr. is just working on some kind of endorsement deal here.
