New Arrival: Columbia Meridian

Got this as the sole bidder on eBay. $35 plus $5 shipping. This is a nice, big watch, with nice design. It's ripped off the Nike Torque band with the three hole look, but okay. The font is nice, and I think it does something with a compass, which I'll never use in a million years. Stopwatch works fine. This one is a definite upgrade over my earlier Columbia watch, the somewhat girly Tailwhip.
I give this one a 8 out of 10.

New Arrival: O.M.D. 3 Touch Digital

Got this one on eBay after some negotiation with a buy it now person for $69. A bit steep. But this is a great watch. Some watches are round, some are square; this one has both of those things. A very big watch. It has the buckle style band that you squeeze your hand through, not the kind that you put the peg through and then use a keeper. It is a good, stylish band though. I like it more than the others like that I have (now four).
This is a touchscreen watch, the first one I have owned, although I have seen several others with this operation. It makes it a little awkward, as you have to push and hold a spot on the screen to activate the touch sensors. The thing is very awkward to program. Getting the time and date set was a chore. And during my run, the seonds and 1/100ths of seconds are large, with a smaller minutes readout below, the opposite of where you would think they would be.
All in all, a great, nice, big, stylish watch. A 9 out of 10.
