I think we talked about Doug wearing his watch under his pressure suit and Bob wearing his on a strap outside the suit. Now that they are on orbit it is clear that Bob also has a watch on a bracelet. They were hard to capture in a grab, but they are easy to see if you watch any of the video.

That makes three watches, which seem to be X-33s, on this flight!

Or he changed the strap with Bergeron tool? Just kidding 😉

You would have thought they will be busy enough with so many things on their minds although the system is fully automated, yet they are checking their watches. The plausible reason would be they are setting and monitoring all mission critical timings in their watches as well in case of computer failures or errors and they had to rely on their watches like on Apollo 13

And that is exactly what testing is for.
SN5 will be done in less than a month (maybe sooner), and 6 is not too far behind...

Minor hijack. Does anyone know the specifics on the khaki cargo pants those guys wear? I've seen a few references to Cabelas, but I'll be damned if I can find a Cabelas style that looks the same (cargo pants, flap on back pockets and wide belt loops - nice creases too).

Let me know it I should take this elsewhere.
