Best digital watches on a budget?

pelicans · Jun 3, 2010

Since it's apparently been a few years since the last thread of this kind, curious if there are any handsome and recommended digital watches, new or vintage, that any of you would recommend. Just need it to have an alarm. Budget is around $200, but feel free to mention items that are as expensive as you want or as cheap as you want.

Thanks!

a phone

edit: there's something really unnerving about applying the word "vintage" to a digital watch

Only time I think one should wear a digital watch is if it's for athletics. Otherwise get an analog watch or use your cell phone. Just my opinion.

^^^ That actually looks almost usable as a calculator.

As for the OP, I think your best bet lies with Casio. That is unless you care about thermo-compensation and all that nonsense. Really it depends on what kind of look you're going for. If I were to get a digital watch, I'd probably just get a g-shock and call it a night. But don't get me wrong, you're not going to be settling with a g-shock as there's many different choices for you out there. Just take some time to look around a bit.

Get a classic G-Shock and call it a day

Just curious... I know some US Presidents have worn Timex Ironmans with suits before... Anyone know which models?

You can get some older Casios and Timexs off of Ebay for very little $.

LIP watches. not sure if they're 200 though and maybe no alarm.

I used to wear those Indiglo watches from Timex(?) years ago. Then again, I worked 3rd shift at an airport, and those were the best cheapie watches that worked well that you could read in the dark out on the tarmac.

This thread reminded me of the Pulsomatic being re-released by Hamilton. It is an automatic digital watch, pretty interesting and I wouldn't mind owning one. Retails for $1,500 though I will instantly pass.

When I was around 12 years old, this particular G-Shock model was the **** on German school yards and brought you mountains of *****...

J. Crew just came out with a vintage digital watch based on a World World I digital watch the soldiers really wore in the trenches of European battlefields.

I know Kenneth Cole is pariah on this board, but this is pretty much my go-to watch:

awesome replies, thank you. to original responder, my cel phone is fucked.....the alarm is frozen at 6:45 am which doesn't suit my needs and i don't particularly want to replace it.

thanks for the help as always & keep the responses coming if anyone else has some favorite models.
