I think you're confusing the watches (I actually don't know about wizard though)

Is this what you're thinking of:

This is what I have (not really but the same layout):

 

I don't know the purpose of either really, but with mine it looks nicer with the dial, but I'm too slow and stupid to read it, so I have the digital.

If I absolutely needed to know two times at once and didn't trust my brain for the simplest math, I'd wear a second watch (something very cheap). Both digital, what the watch looks like is a no-priority issue for me.

Mine's all on the same time.  I just thought it looked better with dials.

I bought mine because I like the analog look, but wanted the option of an alarm and a stopwatch. I could find an analog stopwatch, but not alarm, so I got a dual one.

I have a cheap digital that I almost never wear (maybe when I go hiking, or climbing), the dual watch which looks rather classy, but isn't that expensive, and then a Seiko that cost a small fortune, and is only worn on special occasions. Looks can be very important with a watch... certain looks just don't fit certain wardrobes, and I needed something that looked somewhat nice for daily wear.

What does a 15 year old need a Seiko for, really? I don't even NEED a Seiko, there are cheaper watches that look extremely nice, and would have a similar impressions to people who glance at your wrist, but I got one anyway.

It depends. A cheap Seiko will probably start around $80, and they have modest gold and silver band ones for around $200, and the really nice ones go up to around $500. They're nice, and actually have gold, silver, diamonds, titanium, or whatever, but they're definitely a little expensive.

That's nice of them. My daily watch was close to that price range, but it's been perfectly reliable. The Seiko I've had fixed twice.

It costs a lot less than $200 to fix a watch. Buying a replacement isn't always an option. My regular watch is only $50, and it'd probably cost less to fix than replace. Well, maybe. It's been a while since I had a watch fixed. But it's only advantage isn't the look. Don't forget the gold and silver!
