I bought an LED watch from China awhile back, but it was very poorly made and broke within a week. Loved the look though. Does anyone know of a website that sells LED watches made in America?

What do you mean by LED watch? Can you post an example picture? There are many different kinds of watches with LEDs in them, and everybody calls them LED watches.

Is it a Binary watch?...

Here's a picture I took of the watch a couple days before it broke.

Oh. That's boring.
So... Just 4 eight segment displays that tell the time behind a one way mirror?...

I don't know where they're made, but at the very least, these look a hella lot cooler:

You know, unless you LIKE the cereal box watch look.

I few sexy ones:

http://www.ledwatchstop.com/store/drive ... p-250.html
http://www.ledwatchstop.com/store/metro ... p-571.html
http://www.ledwatchstop.com/store/commo ... p-210.html
http://www.ledwatchstop.com/store/black ... p-852.html
http://www.ledwatchstop.com/store/watch ... p-207.html

If none of those fit your bill, I imagine someone around here can throw a few 8 segment displays, a clock chip, and a one way mirror together just for you... but I could be wrong.
