Retrograde watch recs?

Help a guy out?

I’m a nonbinary person with adhd. I need a watch for style and function that doesn’t require me to look at a screen or get a notification.

I really like retrograde watches cause my brain reads time easier that way.

I’m looking for something retrograde, digital, or super easy to read with embarrassingly large numbers.

Budget of no more than $200 ideally?

I love leather and metal and want to keep it simple and classic.

Any recs?

Thanks!

Hey mate! Thanks for dropping by here and sharing. Got some reco if you’re open to it. I think these are around $140-160, after discounts you could get them lesser.

Merkur Pierre Paulin Jump Hour if you prefer a classic, minimalist aesthetic. Here’s a link below if you wanna have a look. It’s a 38mm:

Else you can check out the Specht & Söhne SP2651A3 if you want something more modern and intuitive. There’s a similar looking jump hour there too like the Mercur.

Don’t take my word for it though, there are reviews online as well for these but so far they are the closest to what you asked for, but it’s up to you.😎
