Directions and comments on these places follow. The last included entry discusses some more interesting places to search -- probably good if you are looking for something more upscale. NOTE: All of these responses occurred around Nov 89. Clay ----- suggestions follow ----- From: Allan.Heydon@HOKUSAI.THEORY.CS.CMU.EDU I was looking at some watches this weekend at the Service Merchandiser in the Waterworks mall. They carry mostly Casio and Armatron watches; I didn't see any I liked personally, but there is a pretty good assortment to look at. I think their prices are pretty good, too, but I'm not positive, as I haven't done much comparison shopping. To get to the Waterworks mall, take the Highland Park bridge across the Allegheny. Take the first immediate exit after crossing the bridge (the sign says "Aspinwall", I believe). Drive straight on the road for about 1 mile. The mall is on your right across from a huge water-treatment plant on your left. ------ From: David Anderson I think this depends heavily on what kind of watch you want. I recently bought a Casio "telememo/schedule" style watch at David Weiss -- they seem to have reasonably discounted prices on Casios, Armitrons and Seikos (and maybe a couple of other brands). As a source of hi-tech watches, I think they are ok; the store I went to (Parkway Center Mall) had a reasonably wide selection. A store like Penney's will generally have not as good prices on a wider selection of "nice/dressy" watches. ----- From: Yasusi.Kanada@A.NL.CS.CMU.EDU I think David Weis at Miracle Mile Shopping Center is a good place to buy a low-priced or medium-priced watches for men and women. You can choose from over 200 watches and the prices are reasonable. ----- From: Angela.Hickman@ML.RI.CMU.EDU I looked for one for my husband and finally bought a Mivado at Bailey Banks and Biddle. Not the cheapest place, but a great watch! If you want something like a Seiko knock off of a Cartier tank watch, go to the places on Liberty downtown. I didn't find great selection overall downtown.
