Bubba Watson can be seen on the golf course wearing a watch valued at upwards of $500,000. That is like wearing a house on your wrist! There are many people who have problems with this because they assume it is a way of him showing off his fortune. Yet, when the value and information of his watch was reported, Bubba was quick to have his say on his twitter page. He stated "Everyone I have a watch deal with Richard Mille! I DID NOT BUY THE WATCH! I DID NOT BUY THE WATCH! The watch is called RM 038 Bubba Watson."
What is so great about twitter is that when these types of rumors come up athletes like Bubba can quickly take to their twitter page to give their side of the story.
While I think it is insane that Bubba is wearing an half a million dollars on his wrist. I understand that it is a sponsorship deal and he is obligated to wear it. I also know that if I was in his position I would without a doubt wear it as well. Bubba is a stand up guy and has enough respect in the golf community that I am certain this will blow over and not be a big deal.
Here is an article discussing the watch:
