Return of the TV Wristwatch

An anonymous reader writes "20 years after the Seiko TV watch, another Asian firm has given it another go. The Globe and Mail in Canada got their hands on the NHJ TV Watch and have posted a review. The writer thinks it's still just way too huge to be a watch but is still impressed."

Pulp fiction time!

Fabienne: Whose watch is this?
Butch: It's a TV, baby.
Fabienne: Whose TV is this?
Butch: It's Zed's.
Fabienne: Who's Zed?
Butch: Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead.

Excellent quote

The writer of the review is quite the humorist. For instance:

Sacrificing my public image in the name of science, I wore it as a watch for about an hour at the local mall. If you're into female repellant, wearing it this way will give you better results than a wet spot on the front of your pants.

In light of this, I propose that slashdot's motto be changed to: News for Nerds. Stuff That Repels Females.

Hmmm ... maybe not. Don't see it catching on, somehow.

I want a watch that tells the time and just tells the time. A cell phone that only makes calls. A keyboard without Internet Keys. Why do I end up paying a premium for these simple devices? :(

Please note that you are not forced to purchase this TV watch. You can buy a watch that just tells time at any number of stores. In fact, I understand that they are rather common and have gotten less expensive over time.

As far as the cell phone goes, I want one that can receive calls as well, and find the fact that mine can store numbers to be very useful. Oddly enough each cell phone I have purchased it less expensive than the previous one and superior in every way.

I have an IBM Model M keyboard that just had its tenth birthday. Why pay a premium for a new keyboard when you can just keep using your existing keyboard? If you want one, head to your local thrift store.
