    I have to admit I didn’t like digital watches first time round.Yeah sure I had one but have no desire to own another.

    Sambas? Classic trainers. Still wear them, went mad for a pair in 1984 and mum wouldn't buy them because a kids pair were 25 quid, same price as for a grown up. But at 46 they rub my bunoin

    In the 70s folks used to run in Gazelles, but the quality was tons better than the later ones! Sambas were always the best football trainers around, this is before they became fashionable.

    I still wear Sambas, a real design classic IMO.........but I’ll definitely pass on the watches!

    Somewhere in amongst all those pop ups and adverts I am sure there is a website behind that link. 😐

    For retro digital, I'd rather LED to LCD.

    You couldn’t buy anything like that in the 80’s. Adidas made trainers and track suits, Casio made digital watches. Luckily in those days companies specialised, and made decent products. Nowadays you can buy a Barbour pencil case, a Mont Blanc watch, Land Rover bicycles.....
