I found this inexpensive watch that recently met all of the following requirements I had at the time:

  • Shows the date

  • Has long hands

  • Roman numerals

  • Minimalist design

  • Inexpensive

  • Large diameter

It's nice because like many watches nowadays the wristbands are interchangeable.

On the back of the dial it says:

  • Lavaredo

  • Quartz 3ATM Water

  • Stainless steel

  • No. L6628

It also includes a few fancy engravings for artistic expression. One looks like a shield and the other encircles the details listed above.

I like how the date is placed over the 6th hour because it provides a visual cue when in an area of low lighting.

Since the date is in this location, it makes it easier to distinguish exactly which hour it is from a quick glance.

The interchangeable wristband here is a metalic "gun metal" that looks like it's burled.

I like how the interchangeable wristband has a sharp style that catches the eye.

This watch is a clip-on watch that clasps down around the wrist.

It's simple and easy to adjust by using a small paperclip to reposition the clasp for small or large wrists.

With a pliers, this wristband can be improved to clasp better than it had arrived out-of-the-box.

Here the watch is on my wrist.

It fits quite nicely and looks like a much more expensive wristwatch than one would expect.

I really like this watch and will wear it out every now and then.

Though it is a $20 watch, I don't pay mind to the low cost and appreciate it for many of the simple features that I desire in a good watch.
