10-Year Battery Analog Resin Watch (Watch)
This watch is a fantastic looking watch. It runs great and keeps accurate time and while it doesnt have any bells or whistles, for under twenty bucks, what can you expect? I wanted a nice watch, that looks more expensive than it was. This one fit that bill most excellently. The only drawback I could find is that the glow in the dark hands and numbers are barely visible in the dark, but for me, that didnt matter. I have the lights on to check the time, myself. If you can live with dim glowing, this watch is awesome. For the under $20 range, I dont think you can find a better watch.

I needed a casual watch for everyday use and this is the perfect watch for the price. The only problem is that the face get scratched easily, other than that it works great! I have spent much, much more on a

that cost more and did not work as well.

G-Shock G-Aviator Chronograph Sport Watch (Watch)
I bought the GW2500B-1A to replace the Swiss Tissot T-Touch 3000 (a more expensive timepiece). Since the US has changed it's DST, a lot of watches with world time functions, and with preset DST, are more than useless - they're confusing/frustrating. This problem alone made me look at watches that have Atomic Timekeeping. I was apprehensive about how well this time sync would work (I returned a clock because it could not sync at my house). I am happy to report the

syncs every night while I sleep with the watch on my wrist - no holding it up to a window in Contra Costa or San Jose CA. The coolest feature about this watch is, like the Tissot, it will swap the main dial hands from you home time to the city you select as your 2d time zone - you see the main hands move to the correct time from say NYC to Madrid (and just do one button press to swap back to NYC when you return). Or you can have the small-right-dial's hand show the hour in Madrid while you keep NYC's time on the main dial and have the digital screens show DAY of Week, DATE and SECONDS. This is really nice for me as I keep China's timezone on the right when I'm working. The LCD can be seen clearly for me (I hear is is a problem for the other colored models in this series). The night light works great for looking at all the analog dials - it could be better for the LCD. Finally I have become a frequent user of timers and alarms on wristwatches for cooking and travel and these features work well on this
