mmmmmmm

Uglier than Ugly Betty I say.

Great Ebay wording tho. "Sleek Stylish Company."

Personally I wouldn't wear it unless I was getting paid too. Bit like celebs with Rolex, Omegas and Tags I guess.

I am just entering the LED world. Not as a serious collector but I want an Omega or Pulsar eventually and will be wearing it. They I think are from Sleek stylish companies.

Just bought this for £36 with postage.
Liked it and for my first LED watch it was I think a reasonable price. I dont have a watch with a leather strap, so I used that as the excuse to the Mrs.

Nice Texas Instrument 8-)

You may be surprised how many excuses you can find for buying a new watch :lol:

I can't think of a good excuse to buy the Flud though, maybe temporary insanity M:)W:)M

IMHO the name "FLUD" fits quite well - throw it into the toile and then FLOOD err FLUSH ;-)

According to the description the BBX001 isn't LED, but LCD (backlit?) - however to me it looks rather like a modern LEDhttp://www.fludwatches.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=14
Despite its loudspeakers it has no alarm :-(

And the AM frequency scale isn't correct ;-)

LMAO @ the AM scale isn't correct. The whole thing isn't correct.

Amazingly tho' the gunmetal finish is sold out.

$90 / £56 for that. Who buys these sort of things. Members of the RNIB
