Opinions on Watson OT bindings

Like so many other people, I can't demo these but thinking about taking advantage of that deal on BBB right now. Any opinions?

I'm replacing some 06 CWB Fuses which are great when they're on, but don't let go when I'm crashing, makes for some brutal crashes.

Yes.

That's all.

Best decision I ever made...

Go for it. I have 06 model and they come off no problem when they need to and they are very comfortable.They say the new ones are more comfortable and you can't beat that price for new in the box.Another great deal from BBB

I also have the 06 model and love them. Very comf and good support.

They are great but I like the Xenon's a little better. They are more comfortable and offer the same hold as the Watson's.
Oh and they are a little less expensive!

I find my Xenon's ('07) to be almost the opposite of my watsons ('06)
Xenon's are very flexible, much heavier and while I like the footbed, it's not nearly as nice as the watson's footbed.

on the downside, the watsons are so much stiffer that I ended up spraining my ankle on a fall that would have been no big deal with the Xenon's
(probably just a fluke, but it's got me a little freaked out to use them again...)

they'll blow out before they'll come off...at least all 5 pairs that i've blown out have acted this way...nice bindings tho i've loved every pair.
