This watch displays time in binary format. It uses LED lights to display the time. Need we say more? Okay, we will. The watch face contains 10 red LEDs that are used to indicate the numbers of the binary sequence (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32) and the values of the lighted LEDs are added to determine the time. There are two rows of LEDs - the top row for the hours and the bottom row for the minutes. With a little practice you can learn to read this time format easily. Won't it be fun the next time someone asks you "what time is it?" and you can enjoy their bewildered expression when you flash your wrist emblazoned with glowing binary? Yes it will, you quietly smirk to yourself.
This watch also has a soft leather band, a circuitboard watch face, and stainless steel back and casing. It is water resistant to 3 atmospheres and comes with batteries.

panda: let me know how you like it. i wish they didn't have numbers printed on the circuit board but oh well.
we me and my wife go walking if i run across a binary house number (10, 100, 101 or something) i quiz her on the decimal equivalent. we end up having some pretty funny conversations as i try to explain the conversion to her.
i've got to get one of those.
though i do like the watch i have at the moment. at the very least, i'm sure i will get one of the clocks.
well what can you do about the numbers on the curcuir board, at least then someone who donest have a clue about binary will have a fighting chance of figureing out the time, if not within the 5 seconds, afterwards ... i am very satified with it, although i never have liked leather straps
i don't like leather straps either. i used to, but the last 2 or 3 watches i've had haven't had leather and i find them much more durable. are the leds bright enough to see easily in the light of day?
Im totally bored right now, its like a billion degrees outside, and i hate it when its too hot.
OH yea I tried the watch outside in the sun earlier today, and found that although it looks fainter in the sun you can still see it ... its funny, everyone asked how it worked ... i lokve being a geek
