Checking out digital watches over the last few weeks, it is very noticeable that so many of them are over-complicated. Displays some not very good that are really cluttered with so much information, they are difficult even to read.
This got me thinking. Amongst all these offerings, could I find one that clearly and simply, could show me the basics — and at a glance. I want to be able to read the damned time — without too many display distractions. So, my requirements — 1 — It has to be easy to read the time. Armed with my list I started my trawl of digital watches — and there are literally many, many hundreds. First I start eliminating the expensive ones, the over-complicated, cluttered displays and those with model specific straps and of course the poorly made ones.
It is Chinese, as many, many of the cheaper digitals are, but this one meets my requirements pretty well. I suspect this is from a small outfit, who buy-in bulk parts, importing where necessary, case locally and then export the assembled product. Using Amazon you can supply the world!
And there are other sellers marketing this watch or similar with slight differences, such as display data, so there should be one to suit almost anyone! On this model, the case is PU resin, well made with a 4 screws stainless back plate, claims 5atm Water Resistance, though personally I would use this for everyday use, splashes and so on.
Which is OK for me. The case is 43mm diameter and as advertised, Ultra Thin. It measures just 9. And being so flat on the wrist it looks good on smaller wrists. This model is also extremely light at just 36gms. The thin flexible PU strap is OK, if a little bland and fits to the case with conventional spring bars.
