In response to Handy's post;
Because of the difficulty of reading LED's in the summer sun, I wear my Junghans Mega 1000 LCD full time, except when I go to either antique malls or out to dinner. It really is easy to read in the full sun. The brighter the sun, the easier it is to read.
In all fairness, I must say the one exception to the poor summer outdoor "visability" problem is my Blue LED "Majestyk One", its display is simply awesome! The Red model is nice also but the blue one blows it away (IMO). But, I generally just leave these two on display (special personal meaning of watch). Same for my other LED's, just display them in the summer. Very rarely wear them except;
For antiquing, I put on a Plusar P2, it generates comments from some dealers and on very rare occasions, I have used it to shut up some dealers who try to give you a load of bull about some worthless LED watch they are pedaling.
For dinner outings, I like to wear the Seiko 515 calculator watch. Use it to figure out tips or bill totals as two of my favorite resturants don't bother to give you a check with totals on it (need to bring check to the cash register).
In the winter all LED's are fair game to be worn at any time!!
The watches I NEVER EVER wear are by Bulova Accutron Spaceviews. Yes, I know these are not digital but they are my favorites and I simply could not bear to have them marred / damaged in any way! Display only for these!!
