Name: El Cheapo

Every IT team has one person who simply knows. The servers calm down when they walk into the room, the pager goes quiet out of respect, and the team, only half joking, calls them the Messiah. This is their watch.

It cost about as much as a sandwich. It has seen every outage, every "quick change" on a Friday afternoon and every 3 a.m. reboot, and it kept perfect time through all of them. The numerals look a little worn because they have been squinted at by tired people waiting for a server to come back up. It never once asked for a firmware update.

Now you can wear it too. Wisdom sold separately.

Features:
- Champagne sunray dial with large outlined rose-gold numerals and batons, glossy black bezel and polished steel edge
- Slim rose-gold hands with lume and a red-tipped centre seconds hand, parked at 12 like a stopped chronograph or sweeping (your choice)
- Left subdial: battery, or steps as a percentage of your daily goal
- Right subdial: a working 24-hour hand
- Lower subdial: running seconds
- Date window between 4 and 5
- Venu X1 gets its own rectangular layout that fills the screen
- AMOLED always-on mode: a dim, minimal outline view that shifts slightly every minute to protect the screen
- MIP watches: the seconds subdial keeps running in low-power mode while the power budget allows

Settings: left subdial (battery or steps), centre seconds hand (parked or sweeping), running seconds subdial, date window, date in always-on mode.
