Can anyone recommend a watch / clock with LED or LCD display for my bike? I just need something to stick on my dash that I can glance down at and see the time.

The only thing I can recommend is to get a reasonably expensive one. I bought a cheap Oxford digital one for my bike and it was pants.

i like my oxford digital one, but thought it was a bit overpriced for what it is

good bits=waterprrof velcro to stick it to the bike, light to read the time, when you press a button

what id really like is one that you wire into the look that is always illuminated, but then id probably be too scared to try to fit it

digital watch strapped to the bars is probably good enough to be honest

Just buy a cheapo Casio waterproof watch, take the strap off and using a couple of Velcro pads stick it to the bike, that will make it theft proof. If its got a stopwatch it will make a handy lap timer too. Thumbs Up

I think that is what I'll do. There's no way I'm paying £25 for a clock.

I found my Little Ben would drop about 5 minutes every 3 days (Even when left off the bike it did the same thing).

Try Halfords.
Have a £4.99 one on mine. Keeps time OK. No back lite but is that really a issue with summer comming up and the number of roads that are street lit these days.

Got to agree, such a cute little clock to stick on your bike.
I'd love one as an ad hoc present *hint*
