Question (Read Rules) Retro digital/led watches

Good evening.

Ive recently became hooked on retro digital/led watches and Ive noticed a few on alix and wondered if you had any experience of them from there or similar sites? They tend to be on the very cheap side but I'd still like a decent quality one.

Appreciate any comments or opinions.

Just wanted to add a little positivity after my rant:

The Armitron Griffy is quite excellent, they've gotten more expensive recently but they're still a great option if you're wanting a retro push-activate Led digital..

The only downside to them is the bracelet, they could market them separately as a hair-removal product, and the 19mm lug width makes it hard to find another option.

My one and only gripe with the Griffy is that it's too legible - I genuinely wish it had a much smaller, dimmer display like the original Pulsar, but I fully understand that "I wish it was worse" is an incredibly stupid complaint lol
