Or a Casio f91w. Timeless.

Alarm, backlight, stopwatch, 8-10 years battery life. 20-30USD price tag. What is not to love?

Terrible UX. Cycling through the modes steps you through the settings mode. A destructive / disruptive function should never be part of the normal functional flow.

I've always thought you should need to press and hold Mode to set the time! And I thought I was the only one who was bugged by this. Timex watches got this right.

I recently got an A158W (the shiny version of an F91W) because I want to drop a Sensor Watch board into it. I'm going to make damn sure to modify this aspect of the firmware.

I get more comments on my Casio A159WGEA than the dozen other "nice" watches I own.
