Geek Watches

This may be the ultimate geek watch. Blue LEDs? Check. Binary watch? Check. Exposed circuit board face? Check! When robots eventually take over (and of course, they inevitably will), this is the watch they’ll be wearing. The most nerd-tastic watch out there? Quite possibly.

One of my favourite watches by TheOne, the Gamma Ray is one of the easier geek watches to read (the lights behave like arms), but it doesn’t lose any of the geek-factor. Features the date too, which is always a bonus.

So this is a Tokyo Flash Watch for the promiscuous sci-fi geek ladies out there. I know what you’re thinking, but I’m sure there’s at least one or two somewhere. It’s called the “Pleasure Seeker” because, like the Pimp watch by TokyoFlash, it can flash all the LEDs at once: press the button on the side, and it’ll flash three times a minute for 12 minutes. This is supposedly to show that the lady is in ‘pleasure seeking’ mode… Ahem.

Detect wireless/WiFi connections, and their strength, from 100 meters away! It’s not a bad looking watch either.

There are myriad ‘binary’ style watches available; this is one of the classier designers. Although many of these kinds of LED watches should be big and flashy, I prefer the binary ones to stick with the idea of binary: simple and clean.

Another awesome date + time watch from relative newcomers Nooka, who started in NYC in  2005. I love the garish yellow; these kind of unique watches should be noticeable and not fade into your wrist. This rocks.

Who would have thought that high-fashion/hipster brand Diesel could create a watch that appeals to geeks? The mirror display is pretty cool: the scrolling LED time/date only appears behind it ‘on demand’. Very tasty.
