    $130

    The unique 3-D design of these watches creates the appearance as if they have been chiseled out of stone, creating a look of toughness and solid power. Their concave dials with half-gloss finish casts a menacing shadow over their dials and combined with the case and band's matte finish (GA150MF-1/7) or metallic colorway (GA150MF-8) give them an edgy, streetwise look. Black resin band analog & digital watch with a metallic red face.

    At the risk of sounding out of touch, how do you know what time it is with that watch? I see no hands.

    Look closely at the 3rd pic and you can see them. Still that doesn't seem very useful.

    Bought the blue Festina from Chris and I'm very happy! The watch is very well made and extremely sturdy. I would say this watch is built like a tank. I thought about getting one of the Ferrari watches, but some of the reports said they were a cheap quartz watch that was probably made in China. That kind of turned me off as I wanted a watch that could take a beating, and the Festina is it!

    This watch is gorgeous in person!


    http://www.bulovaprecisionist.com/

    Bulova Precisionist Collection is the world’s most accurate watch with a continuously sweeping second hand. Most quartz watches are accurate to 15 seconds a month – Bulova Precisionist is accurate to 10 seconds a year. The key is Precisionist’s unique three-prong crystal, which produces a vibration frequency of 262.144 kilohertz (kHz), eight times greater than the usual two-prong crystal and the highest of any watch available today.
