Thinkgeek offers an LED binary wristwatch
http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/zoom/ledbinarywatch.jpg





Me personally, I'm partial to the boring ol' run of the mill Timex Ironman triathalon series. Just tells the time and date with big obvious easy to read numbers. Also keeps accurate time, and the battery lasts for years.

Mine is not hard to read at all, but it somehow fits the category.
Movado's Museum Moderno watch

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41SV5D6JK1L._AA280_.jpg


p.s. I think this thread should be in General science and tech category, not Computer science.

I don't have a watch but do look at others when I need to find out the time occasionaly and those I view are very simple to rerad yet very expensive looking. I never understood why someone would want a 5,000.00 or above costing watch to wear other than for their own egocentric personality.

I agree, the last metal-band watch I owned was a swiss army thing I got as a present, was kinda nice, looked good, felt neat, but the metal links would snag the hair on my arm anytime the watch slid up and down my wrist, and a slip on an icy road one day smacked the watch so one of the links snapped with the little push-rod bent in half! Could've paid for repairs, but meh, was a liability, rather have a good water-resistant leather band above anything.

I kinda liked some of those watches on that site, what I thought could be neat would be one with no screen at all, maybe a monolithic metal band, but would have maybe two buttons and a small lens that would shine the time on you hand when you tilt your hand back. Sure, not efficient, but is efficiency in mind with these watches anyway?

Nice pieces of jewellery, but yeah, impractical. I find more attraction in utility, myself. I've got 12 watches, ranging from a couple of 'dress' watches, to outdoor adventure types. Nothing expensive, I wouldn't wear anything I'd miss if I lost it, or that I couldn't actually tell the time with!

I've been fascinated with this watch ever since I first saw it. Its belt driven and I find that fascinating. That binary watch is stupid and pretentious.

They have gone overboard on those lol
Watches are supposed to be practical, not some sort of work of art..

From what I understand, the watch business is really hurting right now...since people like myself, stopped wearing one, because of the clock on my cell phone.

From what I understand, the watch business is really hurting right now...since people like myself, stopped wearing one, because of the clock on my cell phone.

I bought a second watch (one is for hiking) precisely because it's so inconvenient to get the phone every time you need to check the (heh) time.
Besides with the phone there's a far greater risk of it running out of bats, so you lose communications and the clock, when they run out.

I never wore one period.. I find wearing one is irritating.

You get used to it and don't notice it anymore after a week or so.

To be honest I did wear one for some time years ago, I couldn't get used to it though.

I use my hands allot in my work. I don't like wearing any type of jewlry for it could easily get caught up in something and cause a big problem. Like working on a car or electrical devices.

Plus, if you know the time, and can see the Sun, you can navigate.

Mind you, my phone has built in GPS, and one of my watches has a built in compass, altimeter, barometer, and thermometer. I try not to resort to them though, it's better to not get lost in the first place!

Mine is not hard to read at all

It IS hard to read. My wife's is small and it is more like a jewelry, and when I ask her what time it is:

It is half past 3. Or 4.... :)

I look at my hand and know that it is a watch in an aspect of wrinkles forming upon the once smooth surface...oh boy 1/15 th of a wrinkle has formed on my hand near the big thumb, 3 hours have passed...

I've been fascinated with this watch ever since I first saw it. Its belt driven and I find that fascinating.

What is a beltdriven watch? How does that work?

http://www.wristdreams.com/images/equalizer-High-Freq-2-watch-silver.jpg

The Equalizer High Frequency 2 features a very theatrical way to show the time. The display pushes up the top row of lights and the light spots float back down in a real equalizer effect, finally all the lights fall down off the face of the watch to leave only two lights to indicate the time for 5 seconds, then the two lights also trail off.

and check out all the watches they got here: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.newurbanite.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/09/tokyo-flash-bversion15-1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.newurbanite.com/category/style/&h=375&w=500&sz=35&hl=en&start=9&um=1&tbnid=geFaW6KicVIJSM:&tbnh=98&tbnw=130&prev=/images%3Fq%3Djapanese%2Bwatch%2Bstyle%26svnum%3D10 %26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DN

oh boy...they got binary watches...analog watches...you name it

I never understood why someone would want a 5,000.00 or above costing watch to wear other than for their own egocentric personality.

Because they last forever unlike disposable cheap watches under $1000 that die all the time, their finish falls off, bracelets/straps break, etc... I have had the same watches for years: an everyday Rolex, a gold one, and a really nice collector's watch.

Some of the hardest to read are the gold on gold. (Dial on face) You have to stare at them too long. I like a real easy read.

Because they last forever unlike disposable cheap watches under $1000 that die all the time, their finish falls off, bracelets/straps break, etc... I have had the same watches for years: an everyday Rolex, a gold one, and a really nice collector's watch.

Rolex are good timepieces, but you pay through the nose for the name, and aren't getting a good return for your money, compared to any other make. An ETA 2824 is as good as a Rolex movement, but you will pay far less for one inside an Ollech and Wajs than you would pay for a Rolex, and Ollech and Wajs would be far more resilient, which is why they are used by divers, adventurers, and the military,

CWC also make tough military watches, and the British Navy trialled, and then ditched the Rolex Submariner, remaining with CWC.

You can have an O&W or CWC for a few hundred dollars, btw.

A Seiko Diver is as reliable, accurate, and good looking as a Rolex Sub.

If I was to invest a large sum in a watch, Rolex wouldn't get a look in. Id have to go for a Breitling Emergency, and actually get something worth the expense.

Because they last forever unlike disposable cheap watches under $1000 that die all the time..

WTF !!? The arrogance.. :bugeye:

Agree, sandy is a fool.

By the way, a friend of my father bought a fake Rolex in NY for 5$ or so in 1991 and it still ticks like a charm.
Greatest price doesn't mean the best quality.

My conscience would never allow me to wear a watch that cost over $100. Starving children in the world and I'm wearing a months worth of food on my wrist. WWJD indeed. :(

It certainly does not.. and maybe rich people aren't as careful with their stuff as people that have much less money. Explaining why 'cheap' stuff breaks in their hands while not in other people's hands.

Well to the church that is Cheap. They must steal thousands from idiots every few minutes. PRAISE THE LORD!!! LOL

Well, to me a $50 watch is about right, but to others its extravagent. It depends on what you can afford.

Sandy has said more stuff like this. According to her she is very rich and proud of it..

I wonder... as a good Christian, should she really be spending more than $1000 on a watch ?

I don't know. How much does she spend on charity? Do Christians not deserve nice things when they work hard for it?

No..

Sure, but anything excessive is not particularly Christian (like a $1000+ watch)

Isn't excessive depending on how much you make for a living?

No excessive is depending on what is normal.

Also keeps accurate time, and the battery lasts for years.I still prefer analog. I can read the dial without my glasses, but I can't see numbers. The numbers on my digital alarm clock are about an inch high and I can just barely read them in the middle of the night.I don't have a watch but do look at others when I need to find out the time occasionaly and those I view are very simple to rerad yet very expensive looking. I never understood why someone would want a 5,000.00 or above costing watch to wear other than for their own egocentric personality.Hey dude, it's called JEWELRY. A lot of people like it. To dismiss it as egocentricity is just your way of expressing your iconoclasm... or perhaps just the fact that you can't afford a five-thousand dollar piece of jewelry. Don't ever get married!I agree, the last metal-band watch I owned was a swiss army thing I got as a present, was kinda nice, looked good, felt neat, but the metal links would snag the hair on my arm anytime the watch slid up and down my wrist, and a slip on an icy road one day smacked the watch so one of the links snapped with the little push-rod bent in half! Could've paid for repairs, but meh, was a liability, rather have a good water-resistant leather band above anything.I had a really nice watch--a Thalassa--but it was just too heavy. Now I wear an (analog) Swatch. And on top of that I'm such a Philistine that I put an expansion band on it. Solid metal bracelets are annoying because they're either too tight or too loose and they move around on my skin. Leather or plastic is even worse because it does all of those things and in addition gets clammy. Because they last forever unlike disposable cheap watches under $1000 that die all the time, their finish falls off, bracelets/straps break, etc... I have had the same watches for years: an everyday Rolex, a gold one, and a really nice collector's watch.Well sure, but if you're just looking for utility you'll spend less money over a lifetime by replacing a Swatch or a Fossil every ten years than you spent on that one Rolex. As jewelry of course it has intrinsic value and you're paying for that, but you're betting that when you start liquidating your retirement portfolio that particular piece of jewelry will still be in vogue and you'll get your intrinsic value out of it.My conscience would never allow me to wear a watch that cost over $100. Starving children in the world and I'm wearing a months worth of food on my wrist. WWJD indeed.Geeze Orly, haven't you been around here long enough to understand that world hunger is not caused by the way Americans spend their income? We could stop buying nice stuff and use all the money to buy food for the Third World, and it will still end up being diverted by their despotic leaders, sold on the black market, and the proceeds used to pay for champagne, hookers, Mercedes, villas, and most especially weapons. The sparsely populated Western Hemisphere has enough agricultural productivity to feed the entire world three times over, without making a dent in our disposable incomes.

People over there are not hungry because of what we do. They are hungry because of what they don't do, which is take charge of their own destiny. Sure our meddling hasn't helped them but their basic problem is that they're still in the Neolithic Era with a tribal culture, and tribes almost by definition don't cooperate. Until they do they'll never succeed in installing capable, responsible, compassionate governments because there will always be somebody who rises to power by taking advantage of their hostility toward each other.

Ah, normal.
Isn't Sandy getting slammed in the Goth thread because she thinks they aren't normal?
Now here because expensive watches aren't normal?

What is normal?

Normal is what is considered the norm. How many people do you know that buy $1000+ watches.
And btw, I am not slamming her for that..

I wonder is Sandy's Rolex can wake her up or if the time can be read in the dark? I don't even mention the stopwatch function....

Also if my $6 Walmart stopwatch gets lost, I just buy a dozen more... :)

P.S.: I don't really wear a watch anymore...

I don't know. Its not something that coems up in conversation. Most people around here spend thousands on guns, not watches.

No, I don't know how much the watches of friends and family cost.

Men wear expensive watches to show off status, the same way women wear expensive jewelry.

Are you serious ? I know nobody at all that buys $1000 watches.

Yea, how much did your watch cost ?

People spend thousands on vacations and then its over. A watch will last a good long time. Some consider it an investment.

What idiot would rather buy a watch than go on vacation ?

A really dumb idiot.

I'm tempted to make a poll on this but feel it would qualify as "a single offense towards the community" so I will not. Instead I'll just mention it.... do you guys think you'd ever get a subdermal watch embedded in yourselves? Why not.... what if it was basically simple to remove or implant and had really no adverse side effect + glowed through the skin?

:shrug: a real idiot......if you only could choose between the 2 options.

That's a good non-poll question IMO.
Sure - if it was a simple painless procedure (including maintenance/upgrades/removal), and it looked good.

An added bonus to having an implant is that you can't lose it. You also don't have to worry about forgetting it in the mornings when you go to work.

to me a vacation is a want not a need. A watch is a need. as simple as that.

A watch is a need ?? :rolleyes:

I need my vacation more than I need a watch..
In fact, I don't even have a watch.
And IF a watch was a need why oh why would it have to cost $1000 ?? :bugeye:

If you NEED a watch, you can pick up one anywhere for 20.00 +
I would pick up a cheap watch and use the rest for my vacation.

The best watch is on our hands...the shorter the telomerase gets the less time we have to live

so you only spend the money once. Again, I would never spend that much on a watch, but it doesn't bother me if other people do, especially if they donate to charity.
If someone works hard and they can afford it, then why not?

why does it bother people so much when others do things they don't do? Do you really care so much about the cost of a person's watch???

Or brag about how rich and beautiful they are and how all the men drool over them. Then tell ppl to f-off and such. It doesn't add up to me.

So what are Christians allowed to spend and who makes that rule? Should they take the bus instead of flying? Shop at Goodwill instead of buying new clothes?

Good..

Orleander are you familiar with the seven deadly sins ?

Ok, I'll give you a hint: "Pride" & "Greed".
Look it up, you can even find it on Wikipedia.

On top of that, I am pretty sure Jesus said some things about this as well..

Orleander? the most she is familiar with are all the positions there are in sex and the available sex partners in across the country

Even I know those! She must at least know LUST :rolleyes:

Oh hell.. I'll post them:

PRIDE
In almost every list pride is considered the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins, and indeed the ultimate source from which the others arise. It is identified as a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to give compliments to others though they may be deserving of them, and excessive love of self (especially holding self out of proper position toward God). Dante's definition was "love of self perverted to hatred and contempt for one's neighbor." In Jacob Bidermann's medieval miracle play, Cenodoxus, Pride is the deadliest of all the sins and leads directly to the damnation of the famed Doctor of Paris, Cenodoxus. In perhaps the most famous example, the story of Lucifer, Pride was what caused his Fall from Heaven, and his resultant transformation into Satan. Vanity and Narcissism are prime examples of this Sin. In the Divine Comedy, the penitent were forced to walk with stone slabs bearing down on their backs in order to induce feelings of humility.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_deadly_sins#pride

GREED
Greed (or avarice) is, like lust and gluttony, a sin of excess. However, greed (as seen by the Church) is applied to the acquisition of wealth in particular. St. Thomas Aquinas wrote that greed was "a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things." In Dante's Purgatory, the penitents were bound and laid face down on the ground for having concentrated too much on earthly thoughts. "Avarice" is more of a blanket term that can describe many other examples of sinful behavior. These include disloyalty, deliberate betrayal, or treason, especially for personal gain, for example through bribery. Scavenging and hoarding of materials or objects, theft and robbery, especially by means of violence, trickery, or manipulation of authority are all actions that may be inspired by greed. Such misdeeds can include Simony, where one profits from soliciting goods within the actual confines of a church.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_deadly_sins#greed

Ok, I'll give you a hint: "Pride" & "Greed".
Look it up, you can even find it on Wikipedia.

On top of that, I am pretty sure Jesus said some things about this as well..

Jesus had nothign to do with the list of the seven deadly sins. It was a Catholic Pope who made that list.
In Proverbs, it lists these (again, not said by Jesus)

* A proud look, (make up? Nice clothes?)
* a lying tongue,
* hands that shed innocent blood,
* A heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, (masturbating?)
* feet that be swift in running to mischief, (picking on people?)
* A false witness that speaketh lies, (isn't this the same as the second one?)
* sowing discord among brethren. (Lying again? Gospiping? Picking on people?)

Does a nice watch fall under proud look? :shrug:

What is a beltdriven watch? How does that work?

I have no idea. It doesn't have gears and its clear on the back so you can see it. Here's an ad for it. I think its a piece of art.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2lT8yhwP2Y

OK, it is a drivebelt transmission. Coolvideo...

What idiot would rather buy a watch than go on vacation ?I've met quite a few people who simply don't take vacations. They're ethnic minorities, and they don't understand our American need to "get away from it all." They say, "I worked really hard to get this nice house in a safe neighborhood with a swimming pool and HDTV. Why would I want to 'get away' from it???"why does it bother people so much when others do things they don't do? Do you really care so much about the cost of a person's watch???It's the intellectual residue of mankind's failed experiment with socialism. A lot of people don't understand economics; they think it's a zero-sum game. If somebody else has a thousand-dollar watch, it's the reason they can't pay for a brake job on their car.I couldn't care less, it's just immensely hypocrite for a Christian to buy a $1000 watch..Not all Christians subscribe to that particular interpretation. They believe that if we would all "tithe," literally give ten percent of our income to charity, that would be enough to solve everybody else's financial problems. And ya know, they're right. The problem is that the government takes that money from us and dissipates it in ways that make problems worse rather than fixing them. The other problem is, as I pointed out earlier, that the people in the world who have the most squalid lives are the ones who live under governments that won't allow our charity to reach them.Do your own bible study, I'm not interested in explaining it. Too bad you can't ask Sandy, since she is clueless herself.Come on dude, you know that personally insulting another member is a violation of the rules. I'm going to give you a break and assume that was just a really poor joke. Please don't do it again.Orleander? the most she is familiar with are all the positions there are in sex and the available sex partners in across the countrySame goes for you Dragon. I'm going to assume that was a stupid joke too and that you're not really personally insulting her.

Who the hell cares what kind of watch I wear or how much it cost? It could have been a gift. :rolleyes:

The comments here remind me why I am a Republican. Sheesh...:rolleyes:

Yea, how much did your watch cost ?

I don't carry a watch and I don't wear jewelry. But I know many men who cherish and show off their expensive watches like my mother shows off her mother's jewels. Men's jewelry and "pretty" items are very limited, they find alternative, more quiet ways to show off. When they get a high paying job, they get an expensive watch and an expensive pen; and they melt when girls compliment them on these items.

Why the fuck are we getting a lecture on Christian values here?

"...I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." Matthew 19:24

""Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves money belts which do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near nor moth destroys." Luke, 12:23

"No one of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions" (Luke 14:33).

Jesus said to do these things, but Sandy prefers to ignore Jesus and be avaricious, which is also one of the seven deadly sins.

Christians simply aren't christian, they follow some path of convenience, while claiming thet are better people, despite being hypocrites.

Jesus said to do these things, but Sandy prefers to ignore Jesus and be avaricious, which is also one of the seven deadly sins.

Christians simply aren't christian, they follow some path of convenience, while claiming thet are better people, despite being hypocrites.

Thanks dude :)

Orleander? the most she is familiar with are all the positions there are in sex and the available sex partners in across the country

:roflmao:

I wasn't able to find a hex wristwatch, but I was able to find a site with people who made hex-clocks (I guess I'm staying with the theme of posting radix based time pieces).

I've seen a few OLED watches on the market too --- I wonder if any of them are programmable? It would be kinda cool to design your own watch interface ------ you could make it as perplexing as you wanted

Do you guys remember when the SWATCH was the big thing?

Personally I have a couple Bangle type watches, that go with different things I am wearing. The cost around 25.00 and are more of a fashion statement, when they are out of style I don't care because they didn't cost much. I get tired of things after yrs and yrs, so it's nice to get something new and with the trends every so often.

Dragon. I'm going to assume that was a stupid joke too and that you're not really personally insulting her.

Its not an insult, its the truth.

Why do you have to say that a $1000 watch is cheap?

Because to me, it is. I have the right to my opinion just like you do. To personally attack me for what I say is a stupid, typically-liberal tactic. :rolleyes:

Sandy is literally glittering in gold and wants other's to see it.

Do you guys remember when the SWATCH was the big thing?

Yeah, I had a Saturday job at Woolworths, and used to sell the things. Most of them were hideous, but it was the 80's, lots of stuff was pretty lame, fashion wise. I mean, espadrilles and white socks ffs.

LOL yeah I remember them well, and most of them were ugly. It was the big thing though along with acid wash jeans and jackets (shudders) I can't beleive I wore those.

If what you say is hypocritical and contrary to the teachings of the messiah you supposedly follow, he does right to attack you.

But 'Sandy' this right wing power bitch christian schtick is over and done now, time to come clean, and claim the prize of being SF's best and longest sock puppet of all time. So, who are you really?

You must be a sock puppet, apart from Ann Coulter, and that bitch mother of 'Prussian Blue' nobody in real life is so abhorrent, so come clean and claim the adulation for getting us all worked up over you fake persona.

I would like to congratulate to Sandy for fucking up an otherwise nice, technical thread!! Good job girl!!!

Seriously who the fuck cares about your stupid Rolex? This thread is about nice watches and not showing off your money what you probably never worked for...

Back on topic, this looks like an interesting concept, the 'Swatch Infinity', ... I wouldn't buy one, but they do look cool;

Is it a watch or a bracelet?

Any bracelet that shows the time is a watch... :)

What man is gonna wear it?

Nope. I'm the real thing. Real as a heart attack.

I didn't "F" up your thread. Your personal attacking friends did. :(

Nah, I don't buy it. The scam is up. Admit that you are the best right wing asshole scam SF has ever seen.

Fair enough, but then I have the right to my opinion as well. I think you are a hypocrite for saying a $1000 watch is cheap, even if you just say it..
I mean after saying that, how will you ever be taken seriously again when you criticize someone yourself ?
And please don't take this as a personal attack.. I'm just voicing my opinion.
As far as I'm concerned we are done with this now.

The difference is I don't personal attack people here. Now we are done with this.:)

You brought it up yourself.. seems to me it can be discussed then too.
Your remark felt almost the same as seeing people light their cigar with a hundred. You now what I mean, movies..
But you see what I mean though, right ?

What man is gonna wear it?

I'd wear it, assuming it's not super ugly in person.

From what I understand, the watch business is really hurting right now...since people like myself, stopped wearing one, because of the clock on my cell phone.


I'd rather keep flicking up my left wrist to get the time then have to keep pulling my mobile out of my pocket. And most mobile phones have screensavers, you have to actually press a button to see the time.

In all honesty though, I use my mobile phone to check the date quite often. I don't always change the date on my watch so my mobile is more reliable.

At the moment, it's just a concept, watch, media player etc, and maybe a camera, .... I like the looks, reminds me of the teleport bracelets from 'Blakes 7'

You just throw around un-christian labels like 'freak' instead.

Eurgh, if it's anywhere near that big then I definitely retract my earlier statement.

I am not the only one who notices don't worry.....

I fuk all over the place? whatever the hell that is supposed to mean :rolleyes:
