Ok, I know most ATOTers don't approve of expensive watches, but I want something that has a nice design to it, so that it's not just a time piece, but a piece of jewellery.

What's a nice digital watch that you can wear to a cocktail, or a wedding, or some fancy party? I already own a Tag-Heuer Kirium, but I don't think it's fancy enough to be worn to those above things.

Is there anything similar out there, in the < 500 USD range?

The Ventura V-Tec and its various submodels (I know there is an Alpha, a Delta, a Sigma, and perhaps others) are the only really elegant digital watches I can think of, but they're more than $500, plus I believe Ventura is now out of business. I also kind of like the Nike Oregon Series Square Leather in a so-ugly-it's-cool way. It seems to be out of stock in many places, but I'm sure you could track one down.

I know digital and nice don't really mix, that's why I'm looking for something that comes pretty close to that.

What do you guy's think of the Tag-Heuer digital models? Do they look decent enough? I may be willing to save up just to get that, depending on the price range.

Don Vito Corleone: That looks very similar to Tag-Heuer's design, I may just go for that instead, if I can find out what their price range is.

Tremulant: actually, that does look pretty nice. May be difficult to find from a B&M though.

I saw one in a vending machine at the grocery store; didn't catch the name.

I think StevenYoo has come as close as you're going to get, IMO. The question that you haven't answered is why it has to be digital. I know it's 2009, but did you never learn how to tell time using an analog clock in elementary school?

Fossil has a line of digital watches that aren't bad looking. link Some are a bit out there, but there are some decent ones.

QFT, I own several and they look good with everything, from my diving suit to my dress suits. :)


Also, TX (Timex and German engineering company) makes some kickass digital/analog watches.

Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape- descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

I remember when those were the watch to have! But that was in 6th grade around 1990!

one of the engineer customers i work with regularly wears one like that on a daily basis.

I agree with StevenYoo. I might get that because I do need something that looks nice but is still a digital watch. I don't really know why I want a digital watch myself, I've always preferred them over analog watches. Just preference I guess.
