@Sean Fallon: Just go Flava Flav and hang it on a chain around your neck.

Though I would not wear this watch to work, I would certainly wear it around town, or out at night.

It makes me nostalgic for the cheap "transformers" watch I had as a kid.

I think this watch is cool as hell and I would definately hit on a guy I saw wearing it, unless he was in some other way unappealing (like he was handcuffed to a cop).
I love nerdy gadgets guys, they are proven to be WAY hot.

This isn't the kind of watch that a single man can afford to watch. If you don't have a loving, devoted wife, don't risk it. You may as well dress up like your favorite toon from World of Warcraft if you are willing to risk it while wearing this watch. It's a nerd magnet.

I had a calculator watch when I was a kid, I also had a couple of game watches too. I'm female and dating was not a concern for me at 9 years old. I believe my uncle having a calculator watch stirred my interest in them, I would use his all the time.

The biggest negative of having those things was having to keep them away from certain boys in my class. Then also not letting the teacher see when I was playing a game watch, this eventually led to my skill at hiding a GameBoy under my desk in 9th grade.

It would be interesting to make this thing, but I doubt I would choose to wear it over one of my sturdier steel Fossil watches. Proper fit makes for a longer lasting watch. I am no longer 9 and my PDA phone can do far more than that watch - with the right program.

@AndersonBMX: I doubt my wife would divorce me because I decided to wear this kind of watch :)

Besides, one can be geeky and cool at the same time. I've always been geeky but managed to score me plenty of puntang while I had the chance until I decided to get married. I'd say marrying a 100 lb 5'4" hottie college grad that's 10 years younger than me and can cook up a storm plus likes HDTV, iPhones, Macs, and plays PS3 games with me is a pretty good score. Can't ask for anything more. And all that while wearing my trusty old Casio calculator watch :)

Not all geeks stay at home every night surfing and doing useless stuff. Some of us actually have a social life.

Now, about that watch...

Wait...where the hell are the trig ratios? Those had better be on one of the Function buttons, or I'm sorry, but this is a fail.

Is he selling these to assholes for $300,000 like every other ludicrous goddam watch we see in Gizmodo?

I really wouldn't mind one.
Put my TI-84+SE on a wristwatch, and I'm sold.

How about mounting a crt monitor on one end of two poles a tower on the other end and strapping it on like a sign? You don't even wanna know where the batteries to power it are going.
