Pictured left to right: Ohsen Sport Digi-Analog, Shark Sport Watch (with L.E.D. display option), "Dan Wesson" Commemorative Pistol Watch, Womage "BMW Motif" Fashion Watch. These are four beaters I have---low-end beaters at that. The Shark gets the most wrist time by far (among these four). The L.E.D. time at the push of a button is convenient in movie theaters or other dark places----big, bold, clear (not captured well because my flash washes out the L.E.D. display). Shark has a full line of watches (check E-Bay) and for the money, it's pretty amazing what they offer. Sure, the materials are inferior to all things Seiko----but the designs are cool and the watches actually work! Very good accuracy and they don't fall apart. "Shark" is recommended if you're looking for a beater----or if you're not a person who wants to spend hundreds of dollars on a watch, but want to look like you did (as long as no one with knowledge of watches asks you to take it off so they can have a closer look). But very respectable at a 20-30 dollar price point. I like wearing the Womage when I drive my old BMW every couple weekends. The Ohsen----I wear for the real garbage tasks. It's a throwaway that WILL be thrown away or made into a toy for the kid when the batteries go (Yes, TWO batteries---one for digital and one for analog. I actually replaced them once!). The Dan Wesson----just a novelty watch because I like Dan Wesson firearms. Angelo

Based in part on Angelo's recommendation for the brand, I ordered a "Shark" black LCD analog/digital. I'm not quite sure yet if I like it, but it's growing on me. It's my first oversized watch, so it looks a bit clumsy on my wrist, but feels comfortable to wear and it's easy to read the time. Around $20.00 shipped from Hong Kong. I'll see if it keeps accurate time and how long it lasts ;-).

Keith, I just looked at one on eBay. Not bad at all for $20.

Weird coincidence----I wore my Shark today (still have it on). I've had mine for quite a while now----and it's kept perfect time.
