Bike mounted timepiece?

[Ted]

It never used to bug me, but now I really could do with knowing the time while I'm on my bike.

I wasn't sure if anything existed, but eBay came up with these:

Has anyone got one, or similar? Any good, or do they stop working when they get damp?

Buy a waterproof Casio for ten quid, fasten it around the handlebars, job jobbed.

Casio digital watch, shorten strap and put around bars/bar mount. Waterproof, reliable, lights up if needed,
will also have stopwatch function.

Change from a tenner

Edit- bugger, beaten to the post while searching for a link.

Mine is usually right for six months of the year and then an hour out until I can dig out the manual and work out how to change the time, again.

It's as intuitive as brain surgery

I have an ebay one like the OP is thinking of, but with a white face to match my speedo and tacho cos OCD.

Been there 18 months, survived a winter, on second battery which are pennies ebay. Little bit of grease on the rubber seal keeps moisture out.

£8.99

Steady.... No need to go mad... I mean that's almost the cost of 20fags.

Mine doesn't have a fuel tap!


I wouldn't class my thing as sporty, so it shouldn't look out of place.

Although the Casio watch is a few quid more, I bet it would last longer. But I am still swayed towards the type I linked to.

Not sure if anyone noticed my link above, to a watch that's proved reliable for me, and costs less than two quid.
