Interesting Wrist Watches?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the different-ways-to-tell-time dept.

brobak asks: "I've always been interested in interesting, wearable timepieces, and lately I've been wanting to start my own collection. They needn't be wiz-bang, high tech gizmo's, so much as interesting ways of displaying the time. What are some unique, or interesting time pieces that Slashdot readers own? Where should I start my collection?"

    Yes, the human body is quite adept at knowing the time pretty well. But sometimes five minutes matters. Or two, or three.

    Sometimes, not only do I not want to be late, I also don't want to be early: I want to be right on time. Yes, I carry a Blackberry that will tell me pretty exactly what time it is. But sometimes it's far from opportune to pull it out and take a look (I'm on the subway, I'm in a lobby waiting for someone and don't want to appear nervous or neurotic, I'm out of batteries on my Blackberry (oh no...). And sometimes... I want a lady to notice me, and a nice piece of man-jewelery helps a bit.

    Anyway, it's funny that this story should pop up now. I just got a nice deal on a watch from eWatches.com. They do free shipping, free sizing, and have a low price guarantee.
