It's been a while since I've been into watches. Now I can't stop thinking about them.

My latest obsession: the Timex 80. It's sleek, sporty, and hip.

"This iconic digital style has all of the basic functions including time, date, stopwatch feature, alarm and of course, the indigo backlight. The face is plastic with a crystal screen, silver metal buttons and is water resistant. The strap is rubber with a silver metal buckle fastening and Timex branding subtly embossed on the arm."

"The Timex 80 comes complete with 80's style neon plastic, slide top box and foam cushioning. The two year guarantee covers against manufacturing defects and does not cover the battery or damage to external components like the crystal or the case."

In addtition to the plastic version, there's also a metal version. It really doesn't require much explanation. Just have a look at the pics. It's hot. I want one.

They're being released on oki-ni's site on 09.30.08, but are already available at ryouki, also in the UK.
