Going back to the future: plastic watches

By Emili Vesilind, Times Staff Writer

There is no end in sight to fashion's infatuation with the Reagan era. Fast-fashion chains are stocking Ray-Ban rip-offs, tapered jeans are seeping back into style and neon colors are all the rage, so naturally the cheapie plastic sports watch is once again a bona fide accessory.

And is it ever a watch for our times. Most can be had for less than $100.

Channel your inner geek with Paul Frank’s red calculator watch, $75, at Paul Frank, Los Angeles.
