Yeah, the extra hand is the alarm. Not something you see everyday on an analog watch. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I, personally, cannot think of any reason why I would need a rotating bezel. Diving and timing are the only the only things I can think of using them for. For either of those situations, I'd probably want a chronograph of some type.

I just want something that tells the time and date, is tough, won't break the bank, has a band upon which I can put a compass, and, as an option, has an alarm. Not goofy looking is another consideration.
