As per Time Tide, the watch could be appealing because it is 6 times lighter than steel and 3.5 times lighter than Titanium. However, it is more shock-resistant than watches made of these materials. The watch is sold at $5,790, which makes it easily purchasable for both stars. Tennis stars are known for their love of watches, and Wawrinka has jumped on the bandwagon as well.
