So you're looking for a really distinguished-looking watch for your wrist, right? But do you find all those analogue watches just soooo boring? And even the modern digital ones don't get you rushing off to the store?
Well, look no further! Here’s the geekily perfect, and totally original, solution: The
Binary Wrist Watch. Attractively shaped, neat and it proudly shows off your geek identity in a subtle yet distinctive way.
Now we know we don't have to explain the binary principle to a real geek, but for everyone else, here's a short explanation about how the Binary Wrist Watch works:
The upper LED row shows the hours: The LEDs represent (from left to right) 8, 4, 2 and 1. To get the actual hour, you have to add up the glowing LEDs. The lower row shows the minutes: Here, the LEDs stand for 32, 16, 8, 4, 2 and 1. Just add up the glowing ones to get the actual minutes.
Sounds a little complicated? Actually, it isn’t once you get the hang of it.
To save battery life, the LEDs don't light up permanently: Just press one of the two operating buttons, and the LEDs will light up for 6 seconds – plenty of ‘time’ to read the time... although perhaps with a little practice! Otherwise, simply push the button again ;)
Give your geeky computer-freak image just the right final touch, and go for the Binary Wrist Watch to perfect your outfit – so cool, even James Bond doesn't have one of these!
