GO Sport Impact Evolution Chrono Tested

 
 By: decksurgeon : May 13th, 2009-05:35
Alas, we managed to get our hands on a GO Sport Impact Chronograph and decided to put it to the test. GO claim "Optimum protection of the movement as well as the unlimited use in the field of sports has been the focus of the construction and development e...  

Loved the post

I'm looking forward to putting mine through some tough punishment. I've put my UN MMD through hell over the last year and it's still flawless, my impact should be able to take it like a walk in the park. I would love to see more tests on the durability of... 

Great one

What a wonderful post to read! Putting a manufacturer's claims to the test is always a good thing to do. So who volunteered to have his watch tested? Would be interesting to do the same thing with a "normal" Sport Evo Chrono to see how much of the fine re... 

if someone umm ...volunteered a regular Cal 39. we would gladly test it

tho we cannot promise its unblemished return should it falter the test. perhaps it would be more appropriate to test the Shock Impact Tourbillon! .......do we have a volunteer ? *grin*...  

I'm golfing Friday and Sunday...:-) [nt]

G.O. claims the Impact Tourbillon to stand the test

 
 By: stromer : May 13th, 2009-11:41
Here is the proof that G.O. claims the Sport Evo Impact Tourbillon to be suitable for golfing (taken from the window of an AD during my trip to Saxony): But I am not really sure if they would lend a sample for testing to you ;-) Read you Martin...  

AHHHH......

Sheesh Decks - The dimple theory and the unmentioned cold shower

 
 By: ArthurSG : May 13th, 2009-08:31
I've been golfing for 8 plus years now, know how to assemble a driver (standard or bore through), irons, wedges, woods, hybrids, putter, spine and flo shafts, grips, swing weight etc and while I did know about how dimples affect flight, spin and distance,... 

oh no.....Cold showers in your luxury golf club?

 
 By: decksurgeon : May 13th, 2009-08:49
Thank you for the effort Sir. .....till the next cuban rolls + smoke trails PS: Heidi Klum is Made in Germany too ;-P

Fabulous reporting, decksurgeon . . .

 
 By: Dr No : May 13th, 2009-10:34
. . . and kudos to your assistant for volunteering in this real-world test of toughness. We've all read the posts confirming the implacability of the Impact to assorted tortures, but having verifiable data to back it up is invaluable . . . kinda like the ... 

what a great post....

thank you for sharing this info. it makes love my sport evo impact even more cheers ps our numbers are similar but one cheers

Interesting review, thanks Deck. What's in the design absorbing ...

 
 By: Kong : May 13th, 2009-21:33
the shock? Is the 4 pieces of red colour materials the 'suspension'? Nice dimple theory writeup too. Kong

correct Kong...the 4 red pieces are the "suspension"

 
 By: decksurgeon : May 13th, 2009-21:53
when the watch is viewed face on, the Cal 39 movement is suspended in the case by the 4 red shock absorbers. therefore you can actually see right thru the watch in the gaps between the movement and case. the only other visible item in the gap is the windi... 

Thanks Deck for the reply...

 
 By: Kong : May 13th, 2009-22:24
Any science shared by the GO about this shock absorber/movement-holder design? Even the placement is interesting. Why not at the normal quadrant 12,3,6 & 9? Instead at 2,4 8 & 10, passing through the push-buttons. Next time, doing this kind of test, pleas... 

Kong, the hacker plays steel in irons and wedges

but admittedly graphite in all my woods

Wow....the hacker thinks ...

he is very young! Surprised with his swing speed, the hacker uses a 9.5 degree Kong

Youse guys, are now swinging....
