Don’t know about the alarms—it may only have one—but try the Casio A168W. It’s a classic.
Need Help Finding A Watch - Found One, Thanks!
I’m completely new to this site and watches, so excuse me if this isn’t the right place to ask.
I’m looking for a digital watch, with black text on a green background. I don’t know the term for it.
I want it to have at least 7 alarms. If not, I want it to chime every hour, and have 2 alarms. (How does chime every hour work? Do you turn it off before you go to sleep?)
I’d also like a stopwatch, but that’s not necessary.
My budget is $30.

Try what is commonly known as the "Casio Royale."
What if i told you there is no 30$ watch with 7 alarms?I'm completely new to this site and watches, so excuse me if this isn't the right place to ask.

Stopwatch is standard on digital watches. So is an alarm and hourly chimes.
Things like 5 alarms and countdown timers are only available on some models, so these are the features to focus on. Not sure if I've seen a 7-alarm digital watch, but there's probably a few dozen casio watches around $30 with 5 alarms. Some of these might push up to $50:
F201W
AQ-S810W
W212
D065
WS220
AL190
W734
STLS110
AE1200 (the Casio Royale)
AE1000
AE1400
AE2100
DW290 (the Mission Impossible)
Prob lots and lots more
Hourly chime goes every hour like the name suggests, so if you want hourly chimes for only half the day you'd have to turn it off.
All that Casio stuff aside, if you're really into the green-tinted digital, I think the timex ironman series has even greener displays. My old ironman display is super green. I'm not really famililar with the different models. I'm sure they have comparable functions, but I think you're either a Casio or a Timex Ironman kind of person. The button interfaces are similar but just different enough to be really annoying to switch over

The hourly chime on most watches doesn’t exactly bring the house down and they are so weedy that I doubt they will wake you.
OP wants "black text on a green background"
Personally I find it a bit irritating when the OP deletes the original message; other people might be looking for something similar and appreciate the responses too if only they knew what the original question was.
You can still see it in my reply to his original message.Personally I find it a bit irritating when the OP deletes the original message; other people might be looking for something similar and appreciate the responses too if only they knew what the original question was.
But in this case it's hardly relevant.
There is no watches which exactly fit his criteria anyway.
You're quite right - although I didn't see the quote first time I went through the thread - but it was more a comment about general principleYou can still see it in my reply to his original message.

Actually it's against the rules to delete posts for exactly the reason that the replies make no sense. Probably best to ignore the OP if he decides to post again but I suspect he may be a troll (and perhaps a 'returning' troll)
