book of eli

If the character in the book of eli, Denzel Washington could wear a watch, which one would it be? I have 4 options, but i do not want to post them on forehand to not influence yours imagination.
I am very very curious about WHAT YOU would let him wear within the scenery of this movie. It might be all brands

From Wikipedia: "Once inside, Eli, revealed to be blind, begins to dictate the Bible from memory to Lombardi (Malcolm McDowell), the leader of the group."

Great movie by the way.

I have seen another watch for people who are blind and the glass could be opened up and the hands felt to tell the time.

Some of the Invictas I've seen on TV, you'd have to be blind to wear.
