Ask Slashdot: Wrist Watch For the Tech Minded

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday May 17, 2012 @04:30PM from the more-than-time dept.

NNUfergs writes "Sure, my smartphone can deliver just about any piece of information I could want in under 30 seconds, but I miss being able to just look at my wrist to get the time, date etc. I've been shopping around for a while and haven't come across anything particularly inspiring. There are loads of various features that have been incorporated into watches, but you usually only see a small, specialized set in a given watch. Budget is always a concern, but I am willing to invest in a quality time piece. In short, I'm not looking for a piece of jewelry; I'm looking for a gadget to wear on my wrist. Are there any neat, fun or just plain cool watches out there for techies? What do you have?"

True men of leisure don't require watches as they have all the time in the world.

  Quite right. Instead, they buy fifty thousand dollar Rolex Yachtmaster platinum cosmographs so that they can track the phase of the moon while complaining about having to pay taxes.
