My watch of choice is a Generation 1 Pebble. Though I suspect that will change soon.

Under £30 for a watch that's never more than a second off the actual time, as it resets from a standard radio signal every night.
It would be nice if it have a better display ands was thinner. There's a least 1mm (perhaps two) that could easily be shaved off by losing the gap between the cover and the LCD.
But the Pebble doesn't interest me. It's bad enough having to constantly charge my phone. I don't want to have to remember to charge my watch every week (or probably more often). |
Most of the time I get exactly a week. It helps that I use a very basic watch face without a seconds hand or any fancy animation (the display, though not bistable, does have pixel memory). On occasion I've coaxed even more life out of it by toggling off the bluetooth as I go to bed.
True it's still minuscule for a watch, but it works for me because, as strange as it sounds, I personally have no interest in wearing a "watch". I stopped wearing them shortly after I got my first cell phone. There just wasn't enough of a benefit in my mind.
