Top 10 Geek Watches

From the article: "Considering the wealth of geek chic wristwear out there at the moment, we started thinking about the point where nerd-tech meets personal style...and we've compiled a list of our current wristwatch favorites, which we hope will help you channel your inner geek-gent."
I refuse to believe the top watch for geeks has come until it sshes into a linux box which then uses ntp to get the time from the atomic clock, and then sends it back. The time would of course be displayed in binary : octal : hex, for hour, minutes, and seconds, respectively.
And, of course, it runs Linux.
DYWYPI?
The only problem with the Timex Datalink is that, we being nerds, some of have very thin wrists that this watch doesn't look well on. I bought the Timex Data Link USB Watch 5B112, but it simply looks ridiculous on my stickly arms. If only I could bring myself away from the computer long enough to lift some weights and ingest plenty of weight gain supplements.
For those of us of a certain age, the Nixon Dictator Watch does not live up to the image conjured by the name. I was expecting something far more sinister; something even Dr. Evil wouldn't wear. [sigh]
Some mornings it's hardly worth chewing through the restraints to get out of bed.
Who has time to look at their wrist, what with moving your face away from the monitor. This is what 'date' and 'cal' are for, or xclock, if you go for that kind of excess.

I have the entire collection of reversible Star Wars watches from Burger King. And I wear them.
you're all figments of my deranged imagination
