    Looks like a crappy knockoff of the Pimpin'-Ain't-Easy watch from Tokyoflash...which is now a collector's item and out of production. #watches

    @Hachiken: Agreed, tokyo flash has been doing this weird watch concept for a long time, but i still wouldn't be caught dead wearing these things... why would i want to spend more time searching for the time, all the while looking like a dork? #watches

    @Dev_ace: I actually went ahead and bought on the originals, stainless with blue LEDs, and the hell of it is, they DO work...although not in the way you'd imagine. I wore it once to a fitness product intro (I designed the product) held in a suite during a Red Wings finals game in Detroit. One of the investors (Bob Lutz, of all people) walked up to me and asked, "Is that a heart monitor?"

    Ah well. #watches

    I like the look of the hardware, but the display doesn't really impress me. If they added a mini USB and made the firmware open source, I'd bet they get a lot more customers because there'd be a lot more people doing interesting things with the display. This is a geek watch, and they should make it hackable.

    I like oversize watches since they tend to fit my wrist better than those puny regular watches.


    Too bad having the time displayed on my cell phone means that I don't wear a watch that much any more...

    It strikes me as silly that someone would actually need to ware a reminder of what the day is. As if it is not enough to glance at the calendar a few times a day… no, this guy needs to see it on his wrist all day long.

    i have an idea: why don't we just push the hour button on a digital clock...and and turn the analog clock around once...some tasks become harder when you try to simplify them (IMO)

    @DudeMG: Agreed, but I have an even BETTER idea: Why the FUCK don't we just ELIMINATE this goddamned, so-called Daylight Savings Time nonsense? It's a "solution" to an artificial problem, serving only as a twice-a-year PITA that does NOTHING to serve the vast majority of our nation's people. I mean, really, when's the last time you met a farmer? I mean, I respect our nation's agricultural workers, but--come on!--why is the vast majority being so screwed up by the incredibly tiny minority?

    @bosskev: It was the farmers who were against changing to DST here in Indiana for many, many years.


    I still don't understand why everyone's so dead set against having more sunlight during 'normal' waking hours during the summer. Do you really get up at 4am and want the sun shining then more than you do at 9:30pm?


    If so, move to AZ, they still skip DST there.

    I don't mind losing a bit of functionality in order to gain a clever design or appealing aesthetics. This has none of that. Ugly. Ungainly. Ugh.

    In reply to ECG Watch Does Not, Sadly, Show Your Heartbeat in Real Time
    There are plenty of watches that will actually track your heatbeat in real-time, from companies like Timex and Suunto. I had one once - a Suunto T3C. It was really sorta creepy to look at my watch and actually see my heart beat ticking away. I had to get rid of it. I felt like it wasn't just counting, it was counting down...

    @weatherman: The Suunto I had actually used a wireless chest strap that beams a signal to the watch. I had a different one before the T3C that would show your heart rate, and also had a little dot that blipped at every beat. I don't remember whether the T3C did that as well or not. I can't remember the exact model of first one, and I think they discontinued it.

    Oh, sure, all hand-assembled in a limited edition run and everything, I bet this little guy is gonna cost at least, like, fifty bucks. Well, at that kind of bluebloods-only pricing, Mr. Nardin, you can keep your fancypants smartphone and I'll stick to my Swatch.
