I need a watch

[Not Kuno]

Today my watch broke. I've had this amazing time piece for around 8 years or so. It was a matrix binary watch and I'm pretty sure they don't make them anymore so I need a new one. This was pretty much the greatest watch I've ever worn and I loved it as much as you can love an inanimate object.

So I would like a new one, seeing as how I can't get another watch of this type. However there was one thing about my old watch that needs to be present in all my watches from this point on, and that is that the watch has to double as a mirror as well. I've had watches that were kind of reflective, and I could see myself but this one was perfect in the reflection I saw. It wasn't really for looking at myself, but it was fantastic for cheating and looking around without being suspisious. Also, it has to be digital. I hate old style watches.

Think geek was where I originally purchased this watch but they don't have it, and all the ones they have now are sucky.

Fossil.

What? I was thinking of getting a cell phone watch since that solves my problem of "I also need a new cell phone". Don't know how those are since they're imported from China.

No that looks retarded. Has to be digital face.


Does anyone have any experience with those cell phone watches?

That looks retarded as hell in my opinion. As far as only digital watches go I've got nothin, I only do good watches (and I <3 titanium)

You should see some of the more "silly" ones on that site (linked in the image) they are ALL pretty ridiculous looking.

I've seen that site, they're all kind of dumb.


As for the cell phone watch, I think it looks cool. I just want to know if it's any good or not. I can't find any reviews on it anywhere as it doesn't have a company name listed. >___>

[Totien]

Meh, nvm. Most Fossil watches are analog, the digital ones are all pretty retarded.

There you go in case you're interested.

I get the feeling that importer doesn't sell any brands that you and I would ever recognize, even if we were Hong Kong natives.

There's a ton of digital watches, you can narrow things down on the left to what you're looking for. Don't necessarily have to buy it there but it lets you find stuff.

I personally wouldn't buy a cellphone watch, you end up with a crappy cellphone and a watch (reminds me of an ngage)

Edit: not to hijack your thread but has anyone ever owned a Movado? I found one I really like the design of but I'm still debating it and I haven't had time to hit the jeweler here that's a retailer for them

Analog is 100% out and the ones on Amazon look really lame. :/ I want a cool Digitial that isn't something completely fucking crazy. This is what the king of all watches looked like, except mine was silver instead of back all around. Also a button made it show normal time so it wasnt something crazy.

What are you going to be wearing with this watch? where are you going to be going with it? a watch is a fashion accessory foremost, and I have to say every watch so far has been....tacky...at best(to put it kindly).

What is your price-range?

If it's just a watch to wear around in your standard highschool/college jeans/shirt style outfit then you've got a fair amount of latitude in terms of style, but keep in mind you should own multiple watches for different outfits, because one isn't going to match everything.

What's the reasoning behind it having to be digital?(* I realize you said you hate old style looking watches, but as a fashion accessory most the world disagrees with you, so keep that in mind) digital watches are generally very cheap looking(and that's the message they send others).

Currently antique style watches(pre 60s rolex, seiko, etc) are in style, as well we pocketwatches with accompanying chain(which can actually go very good with the zipper/chain look you see youth wear often these days).

I'm the type of person that doesn't care about fashion or how anyone else percieves me. I want a watch that I think is the coolest thing ever, and I don't really care if it matches (it's usually under my sleve anyway, except at work). I don't like analog because I've always had digitial and that's what I like, and am used to. I've tried analog and it's just something that doesn't work for me. Doesn't concern me if the rest of the world disagrees because they won't be looking at my watch for time unless I'm missing my arm suddenly. >.>

Most of those are kind of tacky, yeah. My last watch I knew instantly that it was perfect and bought it immediately. However none of the watches I've seen so far are anywhere near as good, even that picture I posted makes my awesome watch look gay (also it's supposed to be an awesome stainless steel). It has to be cool. My price range is as high as it needs to go. I don't want to skimp out on something I'll be using every day for hopefully another 8 years.

I can guarantee you that the cellphone watch is going to have horrible sound quality, and bad battery life.

I'm starting to think that. But they come with a USB charger so I'd be able to recharge wherever I go. Sadly, I can't find any reviews or even what company makes it so I don't really want to take chances. :/

This looks sorta like your old watch.
