Need a bathroom clock: Modern clocks under $25

I'm taking the oodles of time I don't have and putting some finishing touches on the tiny mouse-hole (as my mom calls it) studio apartment I've lived in for 4 months.  One things I realized I needed was a bathroom clock, for two reasons: 

  • I need to keep track of the time when I'm taking a shower or a No. 2.
  • I have too much framed art as it is, and wanted to introduce a more sculptural element into the bathroom's decor.

A few other conditions I wanted to meet as I embarked on my search for the perfect clock:
  • It does not make sense for me to spend more than $25 on a clock at this stage in life.
  • Much of my decor is already a bit flowery, so I wanted something sleek and anti-froufy.
  • There isn't a ton of color in the bathroom so I wanted a spot of color, but this is not a necessity.
  • I would prefer something with numbers, just because it's easier.
The sad thing is, there are really a limited number of places one can look for cheap clocks.  Happily though, I found enough of a selection that I think one of these will work.  Question to you: which one should I buy?

Side noteIf you have a lot more $$ to spend on a clock, you might want to check out the super cool modern designs at Diamantini & Domeniconi.

The first one is definitely my favorite. Clean, simple, textured.
@dustin interesting, the word "textured" wouldn't have come to mind originally, but I think I see what you're saying!
I think the 5th clock looks clean & sleek, although the toast clock right next to it is, quite simply, awesome! It would be the perfect clock for a kitchen, though not so much for a bathroom.
:)
@Edwina I agree the toast clock is awesome - I just might decide to get it for my kitchen, which also needs a clock (though not quite as urgently).
@Trudy Thanks for your input!  I see #5 is building some momentum.

6, 8, & 11. When are you having a housewarming?
#2 & #10. Nice orange color, good readable numbers.

After owning some clocks that don't have any numbers or only 12/3/6/9, I've decided I don't like them. They are more difficult to read at a glance.

I also don't like the silver/blue clocks cuz I think they are all too common, but they do go well with just about everything.

As much as I like the first one overall, it seems too dark and modern for a bathroom in my opinion. Although I probably wouldn't pick it out for myself, I think #4 seems more decorative for a bathroom where I envision more of an artistic statement with some function use rather than a clock to measure the exact minute and second.
Ohh I so love the first one.. simple sleek, very stylish... and the yellow one (#10) that looks like pizza pieces or flower petals?!
I love bathroom clocks for DIY hair color timing purposes ... #1 and #4 are my picks, and I also like my bedroom clock from IKEA: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70153706 (Although maybe birch makes it a bad potty clock.)
Thanks everyone for your input!  I just posted my pick - I went with clock #1.  It looks perfect and I'm amazed how one object can pull an entire bathroom together.

Totally agree, Celine! I ended up getting the black one that looks kind of clinical :)

Those clocks looks pretty good specially with that kind of design. but I always thought that they are quite expensive but that one doesn't look like. My current clock I won it in a generic viagra
