    Need to find a watch

    ....but the problem is, I'm looking for a needle in a haystack here.

    Black bezel
    Black tungsten carbide band
    Digital w/ full function (alarm, stopwatch, day/date, etc)

    Does this even exist?

    Doubtful in that exact combo(because of the digital). Probably best to find a face you like and then buy the band you want.

    This is what I wear



    Casio WVA-320J

    Solar driven. Has the Digital w/ full function (alarm, stopwatch, day/date, etc)

    Not black bezel though. It's kind of dark grey/purple or something.

    But maybe you're one of these watch elitists that wouldn't want to be caught dead wearing a Casio

    Nah. I'd rock a G-shock in a country minute.



    I'm not too particular, I just need an alarm & stopwatch. Dual time zones preferred. I also much prefer having a large font time readout over dual-function displays--like the analog/digital ones. Can't use cloth, leather or velcro bands though. I LITERALLY never take my watch off, so it has to have an appropriate band.

    I have one of these, but the face chipped--which really pissed me off. Fantastic watch in most respects, just wish it had conventional buttons instead of a touch face.



    Thanks for the input thus far. I know this is like a one in a million shot. Analog is way more popular than digital, but digital is really much better suited to my work.

    you can always buy one of those black tungsten carbide watchbands and retrofit them to another watch?

    or do you need the whole watch in that material?

    you know that material is heavy right? why not titanium instead?

    I prefer the bezel to be the same as the band. And I'm familiar with the weight.

    I'm open to suggestions. I don't know of any black titanium digital watches either. I was shooting for tungsten carbide because it tends to wear well (as opposed to anodized steel, etc) and it's relatively cheap.

    Here's mine. It obviously meets none of your requirements but I like it
