[ARCHIVED THREAD] - need digtial watch reccomandations

Posted: 3/14/2006 6:28:08 AM EDT

I havn't worn a watch in years, simply because I don't like crap attached to my body, I just find it annoying. When I need the time, I check my cell phone like a pocket watch. But for an upcoming job I will need a watch because I won't be able to have my cell phone with me. So what is a good digital watch that is small, flat, and comfortable to wear?

The ONLY digital watch I'd own would be a Casio G-Shock.

But, they're not small or flat....just real tough.

Analog watches always are more appealing to me....by a long shot...but that's me.

If you're looking for a small, flat digital, there really is not a great range of quality....almost are as good as the next....just a matter of a face and a band you like. The workings are very simple, inexpensive and almost identical for basic digital watches.

Quality comes in the form of analog watches, not digital...with the possible exception, on some level, for the G-Shock. Digital work fine for the most part, it's just that they're almost disposable in terms of over all quality.

I already have a fancy saiko kinetic watch that I use for dress. I just want a functional watch that won't feel like a big hunk of plastic on my wrist.

Then why digital?

Check out Overstock

They have a GREAT selection of watches at really good prices. I love Overstock. Great service, prices and selection. You'll find something to your liking there for sure.

A quick search on Overstock pulled this one up...might be a decent choice? Doesn't look like the typical cheap-o digitals.

Not small...or flat.
