Nicer digital watch

[ywouldi]

It's my Dad's birthday coming up and he's hinted at wanting a digital watch as a present. He's got various other watches but fancies a change I guess.

A G-Shock may not be his thing and a Sunnto Core is probably a bit too big.

Any ideas for something that isn't over the top in terms of ruggedness but looks nice at the same time. Suggestions for slightly smarter G-shocks accepted.

Thanks,

There are some nice Ana-Digital Tissots - Any of the T-Touch range - Of course Breitling do some nice ones too, but maybe a bit dear!

If you want digital ONLY, how about something like this Boss Orange - http://www.watches2u.com/watches/boss-orange/15125...

If you want something a bit less utilitarian looking, this Braun is quite stylish - http://www.watches2u.com/watches/braun/bn0046bkbkg...

I'm not recommending (or otherwise) watches2u as I've never used them personally, but some of the Puma and Addidas digitals look quite stylish in the photos, too, for the money.

Cheaper alternative to the Breitling Aerospace? – http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001FYKRHG
One of these on TZ-UK for £400 – only 8 months old, iirc.

I like them. Bit of trivia, Jake Gyllenhaal wore one in 'Source Code'.




I'm such a geek.....

I really like the look of this Seiko. It's got that digital 80's look to it but modern gizmo's inside :-)

If money was no object, then you could have one of the Seiko Star Wars range. Limited edition. Allegedly collectible. Certainly different!

As for value for money

The Seiko SBPG001. Atomic time and solar, and all the functions of a G. It's the thinking mans GW-M5610-1ER
