Specific type of watch

[AJI]

When it comes to watches I am very specific to the style I go for. I have been looking on websites recently and there seems to be nothing that I would go for.

I like stylish digital watches that are NOT the usual plastic looking casio type things.
Not into the analogue watches at all, and definitely not the ones that have analogue hands as well as digital displays (why would you want to have the time in both analogue AND digital?...anyways).

As an example of what I have had in the past :
http://altivo.com/Pulsar-World-Time-Chronograph-PB...

And as an example of what I do not like :
http://www.outdoorgb.com/p/Casio_Sports_Digital_Wa...


Are there any watch experts who know the market that could point me in the direction of a website that has the type of thing I am looking for?

(Budget is definitely sub £100).
(strap can be metal or material but not cheapo plastic)


Cheers.

thanks for that, but it doesn't quite fit the bill for me.

I do tend to go for something that is a bit different, hence the dot-matrix style Pulsar watch on the link above.

Ah, ok. You could google for LED watches...

They are quite cool, the middle one is probably something I'd go for.

But since visiting the SUUNTO watch website I have grown particularly fond of the Suunto Core watch.

In either Alu Black or Alu Brown or even the Alu Orange.

It's about time the traditional LCD display becamse outdated. Obviously their simple design/look gives clarity, making the reading of the time a short a task as possible - but they look so old fashioned. I am not a massive fan of digital watches but it's disappointing to see a lack of development/originality.

Suunto's Core watches are, IMHO, stylish, but if you haven't seen one in the metal/plastic, I'd suggest you do before buying because they are huge - 49mm diameter (IIRC) and chunky with it.

The 2nd one is a nice simple design. I like that.

This is also something I go for. Something nice and sleek with an easy to read time display.

Thanks for that. Yes, I have never seen one in the 'flesh' before.
There are however some youtube videos about them which I have recently viewed. And they seem to be very functional and much better looking than the usual digital watch.
The online vids don't give a good impression of size so I will definitely be having to try one on before buying.
