Tokyoflash have some pretty strange unreadable ones

Well I can't deny the Pebble is a better gadget that is for sure. More of the gadget sites standard fare.

It looks like one of the many faddy gadgets you see on DealExtreme, I couldn't tell if it's worth $300 or $3.

But it is has a <name>&<name> logo on it so could add a 0 to that higher figure IMO.

Well personally I stick to my rolex or Panerai 217H depending on situation.

My actual comment was based on the fact that all the gadget sites were merrily posting about the QLOCKTWO W when it appeared yesterday morning. Once the Pepple appeared on kickstarter QLOCKTWO disappeared off the radar.

The QLOCK as a wall clock is a brilliant idea as a wristwatch its simply a variation on all the ones Tokyo whatsit names sells.

It isn't about being behind the times. The links are to conceptual clever gadgety watches with bloody awful design. The one above is incredibly stylish but single functional. There is a huge difference in market. I would expect people buying the OP's watch wouldn't generally buy the pebble.

One day you will get the style and cost over gadget and then you know you have become a proper contractor

You're slightly behind the times on the watch front.

While this was all the rage yesterday morning today the discussions are focussed on this which will doubtlessly have that QLOCT design as an optional face.

I remember when watches with displays first came out in the 70s. One maker wanted to have a chat up line upon pushing a button - but there was no spaces for anything delicate. So they put "LETS F**K" without the *s. I always wondered if anyone ever bought one and if they were successful or not.

That is really cute, I can imagine the missus nagging me for one

Considering no one needs a watch these days, you might as well have one that makes a statement

[Scrag Meister]

Looks like a nice gadget to have, to show to your mates in the pub, or if you can read but not actually tell the time on an analog watch.
