    Fun Little Purchase

    Got one of these recently for my son (as he likes The IT Crowd and The Office (US))as a bit of a joke - he loves it and wears it most days.

    Couldn't resist one for myself too as I never had one as a kid. Mine went pretty much straigh onto fabric.

    A classic!
    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    Fun little watches! They have no backlight, though, which it kind of a bummer.. But what do you expect for $15.99? On the plus side, they're water resistant enough for a swim unlike the original C-80 (don't ask), and they have a 2nd time zone. So I bought two; a black one like yours, and a gold coloured one (same module, different case):.
