i have a cousin graduating from a post graduate program who will soon be a professional. i recently got into watches and heard him mention that he needs a watch as part of his business/formal attire. i asked him if he was okay with large print digital watches due to his deteriorating retinal condition and muscular atrophy of the focusing/retracting muscles around his eyes, and he responded that it would be easier for him to use a watch that has a dark background and bright hands (not sure if this is common terminology, i'm really new) and also kind of scoffed at the concept of a digital watch (although i have seen some very sexy digital watches, none of which had large print). i was hoping to purchase a quartz watch that matches these requirements, as i am not sure that he will notice that a mechanical model has stopped working unless he looks at it at length. most of his clients will be visually impaired, but a few will have decent vision, and most of the caretakers that come in with them will be "sight-seers."
i did think of movado museums, specifically:
Amazon.com: Movado Men's 0606502 Museum Stainless Steel Watch with Black Leather Band: Movado: Watches
due to the high contrast, bright hands, the signature jewel (making it easy for him to identify where the watch begins and where to look for the time) and its quartz movement. i was hoping that there were some better options (as in superior movement and accuracy [the latter more so, as i don't want for him to worry about his watch being way off, cause it would make him look incompetent and foolish]) and was wondering if anybody had any pieces that fit his specific set of circumstances. i assume indigo or similar illuminations can be a plus, but are not required. a nice design would be great, cause i'm sure you're all familiar with how a good looking watch makes you feel more confident. thank you in advance. any models under $1000 are fine.
