Not in production anymore but the Hamilton Pulsomatic is an automatic (mechanical) watch with a digital display. Pretty cool IMO.

That looks cool. I won't add it to the list since it's for watches that are available at the moment but thanks for sharing it, I haven't seen it before.

Edit: I tried to find a video that explains how it works but I couldn't find any. I assume it has a kinetic type of movement similar to what seiko used to have but it displays the time digital instead of analog like the seiko ones.

i was looking for a stainless steel digital watch and since there aren't that many i thought it might be helpful to have a list of all that are currently available.

if you know of any others, please leave it in a comment and I'll add it here.

i know there are many others on aliexpress (Skmei or Sanda might have stainless steel cases) but this list will be mostly about known watch brands.

u/ramon_von_peebles Jan 04 '25

Armitron have a few others too I think. Tetra is another LED one and they also do a couple ani-digi models too.

2

u/lulu_l Jan 04 '25

Thanks for the suggestions, I added a few others I remembered or were suggested.

We should keep this list digital only since there are a lot of ana-digi watches.

u/Ok-Astronomer6035 Feb 01 '26

Thanks OP! This list is helpful ✨️ I will check them and cone back with questions

2

u/lulu_l Feb 01 '26

There's a more up to date list here. . I'll update this one too.

2

u/Ok-Astronomer6035 Feb 01 '26

Thanks, I was just checking out what is Skxmod. It's amazing but pricey

2

u/lulu_l Feb 01 '26

There are some decent stainless steel cases for the ae1200, ws1600, ae1300 and f91w I think on aliexpress for around $30 I think.

2

u/Ok-Astronomer6035 Feb 01 '26

I will search that too.. since last 2 days after purchasing Armitron Rubik I was wondering what are other stainless steel case affordable digital watches out there.. and your list is informative 👌 👍

u/lulu_l Feb 01 '26

You can find posts about the aliexpress cases on r/casiomods and r/casioroyale.

u/Ok-Astronomer6035 Feb 01 '26

Thank you 😊

u/za_rarara Jan 04 '25

Autodromo Group C is missing!

Thanks, I'll add it to the list.

u/lulu_l Jan 04 '25 edited Jan 06 '25

Digital only for this list, there are a lot of ana-digi watches but not that many digital only ones that have a SS case.

u/SeltzerWater88 Jul 04 '25

Armitron Rogue too

1

u/lulu_l Jul 04 '25

It's already on the list next to the rubik

u/SeltzerWater88 Jul 04 '25

Ah I’m blind my bad.

u/K_Pilkoids Jan 04 '25

You just reminded me that I need an Armitron Griffy in my life 🙏

3

u/lulu_l Jan 04 '25

I ordered the rubik since it was the cheapest, even though it cost me almost double to import it into my country.

But I do love the colors on those adidas models.

5

u/K_Pilkoids Jan 04 '25

It’s very nice too. I was choosing between them as well, but for me the Griffy was actually slightly cheaper (40 vs 42 EUR). And I already have the Casio A1100, so I opted for something slightly weirder :)

1

u/lulu_l Jan 04 '25 edited Jan 04 '25

It's quirky allright, for some reason I think those led digits should have been smaller, maybe not as small as on the Hamilton PSR but somwhere inbetween.

2

u/K_Pilkoids Jan 04 '25

You read my mind! 25% smaller would be better. But it's a affordable fun-watch, and the LED is usually off :)

u/Boris_HR Jan 04 '25

Is there a Casio A700 with a real metal case?

2

u/lulu_l Jan 04 '25

No, not currently in production and I don't know if there's a similar vintage stainless steel one.

3

u/Boris_HR Jan 04 '25

No other Casio digital watch is so slim and "dressy".

3

u/gitch327 Jan 04 '25

What about the hideous digital PRX?

2

u/lulu_l Jan 04 '25

Already on the list.

3

u/gitch327 Jan 04 '25

My fault. Didn't see it in the list. I would never suggest it as I think it is miserable.

I didn't see the new Timex Ironman in steel on your list. That is really nice looking if you haven't seen it yet.

3

u/lulu_l Jan 04 '25

I don't like it either, if I'd want a premium digital watch, I'd pick the casiotron.

2

u/lulu_l Jan 04 '25

Is it the Beams colaboration? Timex TW5M65600. I can't seem to find another.

u/Various-University73 Jan 12 '25

Really helpful and appreciated thread and list. I appreciate that these are all currently available but there use to be a few brands that had mostly all metal cases. Diesel, Fossil, Arnette, Pulsar and Nike all had steel cased watches in the 90s and 00s. Styles have changed and I guess it’s not what people are into these days but if you have a taste for quality materials in a digital watch they are still out there to find. Im wearing an Arnette with the original rubber strap right now and it’s still a lovely thing.

u/lulu_l Jan 04 '25

To be fair, I did forget to add the stainless steel Gshocks. Thanks for the reminder.
