I do like that watch. I wish mine had some lighting. The hands have that glowing paint on them. But they are so dim, it takes my eyes about 10 seconds to read them. An eternity while driving.

A better radio may be in order. Does anyone know a good aftermarket radio that isn't blinding at night, and has large backlit buttons?

Personally Im an amazon *****, gotten a few radios for my toys from there and havent been disappointed once.

Some of them have hundreds of reviews so you can really get a good idea of what youre going ot get, and you can end up with a decent CD player that plays MP3s for $50 or so.

That or craigslist it haha

And having the ability to have the clock on is a common feature, so reading the reviews, if that option is not available, it will be mentioned quickly.

I've been looking hard at this one. New from Seiko. It's called "The Orange Monster". They have a "Black Monster" also. Solar powered/Waterproof to 600 ft./ Under $300.

If you want easy to use with large buttons, decent sound quality, etc... JVC is my recomendation. They usually either have a clock or display button that just switches to either the time or playtime/track #
I have an Eclipse, a Kenwood, a Pioneer, and a JVC. The JVC is by far the easiest to use, followed by the Eclipse.

Cheers,
James
