The Digital Watch is an electronic wristwatch with a clock, a thermometer and a daily alarm. It is worn on the wrist as an accessory. It is one of the most useful small finds early in a run.
Carrying or wearing one puts the in-game clock on the screen. It also shows the temperature of the room or the outdoor spot where the character stands. A digital watch also shows the date and the weather.
The watch weighs next to nothing. It comes in black, red and a Metallic Dress Style. Display cases in clothing, electronics, gift and pawn shops hold one about half the time. The Tailor is the best occupation for accessories. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The watch sits on the right wrist by default. An inventory option moves it to the left wrist, so it can be worn on either side. Worn on the right, it clashes with pieces that cover the right forearm.
Its value is the information it shows. The temperature reading helps judge whether a building is warm enough to rest in. The date display also lets the info tab show how long the character has survived.
Variations
The Digital Watch comes in 6 versions. Most of their stats match, and the extra columns show the ones that differ.

Locations
The Digital Watch is a common find in shops. The display cases of clothing stores, electronics stores, gift stores and pawn shops hold one about half the time. Department store display cases are nearly as good, and jewellery store cases hold one about one time in six.
In homes, watches turn up now and then in jewellery boxes, side tables, wardrobes and dressers. Lockers in break rooms, changing rooms, gyms, hospitals, factories and fire stations hold one only rarely.

Notes
- The alarm can be set for a time each day, and it wakes a sleeping character.
- The alarm chime draws zombies, so a found watch with an alarm already set should be checked.
- Setting the alarm a few minutes ahead and dropping the watch pulls distant zombies to the noise.
- The watch only needs to be in the main inventory to show the clock.
