I had that for a while, but stopped wearing it because a) I can't wear watches, and b) it takes just a little too long to convert in your head. It would work much better if all our amounts of time (minutes in an hour, hours in a day) were powers of 2.


I find the coolest geek stuff to be where it's more subtle. If the average person I run into can tell I'm geeking out, it's not worth wearing.


No error correction? Not even a parity bit? Big-endian only? I'll pass.


By the way, the headline reads "Geek Watch" if you convert it to ASCII.


For the lazy, headline translates to "Geek Watch"


I like the idea, but what an ugly face!


can you imagine trying to get through US customs with what looks like a hollywood bomb on your wrist!
