Muji's normally quite good quality, so I don't think USD 100 is that steep. I like the style of the watches, the one with the black dial looks best, IMO.

Very nice choices. $100 USD isn't a bad price at all for a timepiece to wear as an everyday piece.

Entirely too utilitarian for my tastes. I think I'd be hard-pressed to find something more boring or uninteresting.

I agree, but this is what can make it nice for certain occasions.

^^^ Yeah, I see what you guys are saying. I've got a couple of 80's vintage Seikos that are pretty classic and a Skagen I picked up at a duty-free about 5 years ago. Don't wear any of them, since cell phones became small enough to fit in my pocket I never really wear a watch anymore, unless I really feel like dressing up..

I don't like the look of the watch at all.

I actually just bought one of these through a proxy buyer in Japan. They're much cheaper than the UK prices. Muji JP has some nice rectangle versions as well. I was thinking about the all black rectangle but they sold out and are discontinued. Muji isn't exactly low quality either. Several notable designers made contributions to them, including Naoto Fukasawa, the designer of the Issey Miyake 12 watch and others. http://www.muji.net/store/pc/user/ca...n061113_03.jsp

Obvioulsy not a speciment from an horological collectors perspective, but not bad for changing things up once in a while, like a variety of any other accessories. I like the simple clean look of it as well.

It is minimistically simple. It's too simple. No style.

I don't see the retro.
Kinda looks like a wall clock.

Yes, it reminds me of a kitchen clock.
