[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2585791, member: 7157"] This is a most interesting thread! With my eyesight not quite as sharp as it used to be, I wanted to find a watch that I could read without needing glasses, and I came across this one from Phosphor: [b][Broken External Image][/b] It was a [B]great[/B] watch simply for telling the time at a glance - heck, I could even see what time it was if the watch was propped up ten feet away. I loved it, but I bricked mine the other day when I stupidly reached past a strong electromagnet while wearing the watch. The face is now washed out, so I'm in the market for a new watch. Alas, Phosphor apparently no longer carries that watch in plain stainless steel. So, a question for you watch experts: what would you recommend in the way of a digital or analog water-resistant watch that shows ONLY the time? That means no chronometers with multiple small dials and hands and other fancy appendages - just a plain, simple display with a big-butt face (say, [U]>[/U] 45 mm) and equally big-butt numbers. GED showed a promising example in the Momentum Torpedo, but it'd be nice if the face was even larger with more of a contrast between the hands and the face. Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
