Today I'm wearing this Arnette digital watch. You might know Arnette for their sunglasses, but like Oakley, they branched out into watches. I'm not sure if they still make them as the Arnette site doesn't say anything about watches. I picked this up cheap when the original owner posted it on the PMWF. I think I was drawn to the industrial-looking case with screw-down caseback as well as the orange detailing. The seller actually had bought three of them, wore one, gave one away and this one sat new and unused. It's actually quite a solid watch with neat dot matrix-like display and comfortable and functional velcro strap. It is definitely one of my least legible watches though, especially if you are not in bright light and don't use the EL backlight. I actually found out today there is a version of this watch with the inverse color scheme and a non-reversed display. I actually like it quite a bit, so I'm torn between trying to snag it and have both versions, or just unload this one and replace it with a G-Shock.
