Good-looking modern digital watches

[dot matrix]

My google quest for slick looking modern digitals (ie, something forward looking, futuristic, and SciFi in appearance) has, to date, turned up only three watches:

Infinity Apus Dark Force (OLED) (check out the cool flash movie that shows the seconds scrolling)

pod Chronograph (LCD) (a bargin at $14.00 a pop, or should that be "pod")

Quadtech (LCD) (modern and retro at the same time)

Anyone got any others?

I vote the Infinity Apus Dark Force as my favorite out of the three.

The Infinity is the same module as the DKNY NY1367 or a blue BENCH watch(forget model number). Both are very nice displays, OLED.

I like the last oone, very good updated retro watch that looked really nice on the leather, and I liked the PVD racing bracelet.

Given up on oled for the moment - just not bright enough. Still nice watches though. Wish I had more arms.

Those modules are actually pretty bright, but the Chinese guys put a piece of red film over the display. With the film gone it looks absolutely fabulous thru vintage glass. I was frankenstiening one from a DKNY 1367 to put in a P3 but the snapped together construction of the module became problematic. I'm going to try another but I will fuse the module together right off(ok, epoxy ) so I have a sturdier package to work with. It's a funny construction inside - a small ribbon cable runs to the display which is a glass matrix like an LCD, but it relies on a "Zebra strip" along one side of the display also. The display is a grid of squares - maybe 20X80(possible higher, rendering smaller squares - sorry, didn't count). Maybe someone could dig around for some articles on OLED display technology and how different manufacturers are implimenting it in consumer devices. I'll confess: if it wasn't for the darn zebra strip, the ribbon cable would allow the whole display to be turned 90 degrees from the circuit board, which means I could have worked toward putting that puppy into a Synchronar case. That would have been "the bomb" - time with running seconds,DOW, 12/24 time, two alarms(small piezo buzzer would be needed).

Even though they are pretty bright, still hard for them to be completely useful in outside daylight. Really crisp, well formed characters though.....they're getting closer.
