oh dear. . Another to try! How do you get on with the re-chargeable battery?
I've used the chrono function a few times also the alarm and vibrate function. It has the tilt mode for the light, which I keep switched on and the battery has lasted close on four months.
When you need to recharge its a simple magnetic charge cable that attaches to the side, connect that to a USB or mains and you're back up to 100% within a couple of hours.
More like a smart watch with the functions and settings.
How about trying an Orient Ana-Dig VZ00-C0?
Ive had two of these, stupidly sold one and had to buy another one.
Really comfortable to wear and works for both smart and casual dress, you can pick them up for about £100ish, might be a less expensive way to try one for yourself.

the sole one in my collection
Not normally a fan of digi-ana watches, but I own and love this Breitling B1
Would I be allowed in the club with this one?Ahem...A201The purest of ana-digi: Casio AE-11W...
Had one back in the day, been trying to find one recently but they're not going cheap!
Do love that Arnie Lewie. Shame I don't have the funds for it right now ;)
Another fan here , particularly older Seiko stuff. Used to have these two H558 and H601 models.
Now I just have this H556 from 1984 which is a great "grab and go" watch.

I quite like the look of that.How about trying an Orient Ana-Dig VZ00-C0?

I rather like that Orient Ana-digital I'll try to track one down,,,
Whether you are alone or not only you can say?
Another vote for Breitling - I've never owned an ana-digi before but bought an Aerospace Avantage about 6 weeks ago and really like it...
Simon
I had one too! My parents threw it away while I was on a trip... ;(The purest of ana-digi: Casio AE-11W...

I had a luminox anadigi - think it was the second watch I got from SC.
LOVE that!!!How about trying an Orient Ana-Dig VZ00-C0?

Old photo on a nato, wear it now on an orange isofrane
+1 from a fellow owner of one of these beautiesI love em. I've owned many tissot T touches over the years but they're a little too chunky for my tastes these days. I've got this Chronospace from the 90s which is wafer thin and such a great watch IMO. (Is the 90s vintage yet???)
Love the orange Emergency had the yellow dial and blue but always wanted a orange one, to be fair would love all the colours lolI only have ever owned one ana-digital watch, and that is a Breitling Emergency. When I first saw it, I thought it was a monstrosity of a watch and I would never ever want to own one. A couple of years later I was looking for something colourful and ended up buying this one, must say there is a lot to like about it (not least that it never needs any setting). I wear if fairly regularily and have received a number of compliments.
Had, Just had to pull the trigger on the B50 Night Mission..
But do I like it over the standard version.
Difficult one..
I'd love a B1 but just can't justify it at the moment, so I bought a Casio LCW-M300 instead. Not as good looking perhaps, but boasts radio controlled timekeeping and solar power.
One of the best ana/digi's is the Citizen Skyhawk imo. It has proved to be very successful with a very long production run.
My favourite is the Attesa version the ATV53-2834 because of its 'clean' look and its Duratec full DLC case.

I like the Skyhawk as well it is a great travel watch, heres mine;
Here's the ana-digi corner of my collection.
LCD hands at the top
Real hands at the bottom
Ah yes, I remember those now, excellent!
Damn you, that's two ana-digis I'm looking for now...
Have to agree about the Skyhawk.
Much underrated.
Analigitad not my cup of tea but I respect everyone choice
Well, don't knock it till you've tried it.
Any ideas on where I might buy the Orient (Ana-Dig VZ00-C0), ideally new? I can't see it on Amazon or Creation.
The original, clean and simple.
One of my favourites
How about this one
One of my favourite ana/digi's is the MRG-7100BJ.
It is fantastically well made, has a large range of useful functions but seems largely to be just an analogue with just a big date window at first glance.
it goes without saying that it is tough, being a G Shock and constructed of hardened titanium and full DLC.
Quite good looking as well imo.
Mitch
Seconda tideranger. Ideal for holidays on Holy Island:)
