Not as good looking as the Movado, but it's 1/10th of the price so. :D | ||

I realize practicality has never really taken precedence over design these days, but I feel some of these designs simply throw practicality out the window. Would anyone else find it annoying to try and tell the time via swirls and other vague means? Personally, I would get pissed off to the max owning such a watch. Every day would feel like trying to work out the same puzzle over and over again. I wouldn't be surprised in least if I walked up to a guy with one of those watches and said, "Hey mate, what's the time please?" To which he responds: "lol I dunno" and walks off. | ||

Yours for a cool 4 million dollars, the Patek Phillipe Platinum World Time: and to those looking for pocket watches, is this the kind of thing you're looking for? That would be 11 million dollars. thank you very much (well it did take 4 years to make, and boasts 24 complications) | ||

Edit: if you're committed to that $100-$250 range I recommend looking for a good vintage watch on eBay. that or put off spending more than $40 until you've saved for something really nice. thing with watches is, it's hard to find one $40-$200 that's significantly nicer than a simple $20 field watch. I wrote a bit about putting together a super cheap watch here. (Omigawa linked this on page 1 as well. cheers) | ||

http://www.hanowa.ch/pages/sites/classicline/corporalgents.html Take a look here http://www.norfolkwatchcompany.co.uk/80425/info.php?p=2 and then ebay it or amazon it w/e. Get a watch that doesn't look like a UFO just landed on your wrist or a kid's one. Get a simple watch that tells time(/date) and is not a clusterfuck to read. | ||

Sottomarino italia esploratore. It's not the most popular brand, but it's simple, elegant, and cheap. You can probably find them for 100-125 or even less. http://www.sottomarinowatches.com/collection/watchdetail.php?model=SM-50110-A | ||

i would never get anything digital as well, looks tend to age poorly and if you follow what I said before then you will quickly realize that something that looks nice and has high brand identification sits a lot nicer with the ladies than having to explain why xyz technogeeky aspect of your watch is aesthetically pleasing. | ||

I don't believe it's actually been made. It was a concept by Dave Prince http://www.inewidea.com/2009/12/06/14232.html | ||

I would recommend something waterproof. I can't count how many times I've drenched my watch while washing my hands. | ||
