Diesel offers up duo of OLED-packin' watches

It's not that we've never seen a watch with an OLED display, but considering that so few of them are even mildly attractive, we have to take notice when one pops up that could actually be worn (shamelessly) in public. Diesel's DZ7080 and DZ7079 timepieces both sport integrated OLED displays, fairly appealing designs and water-resistance to boot. Not a whole lot of extra features or anything, but both models look to be available right now for around $150.50 and $136.50, respectively.

Does it play videos of doom? (See what I did there?)

[Preston @ Sep 26th 2007 7:28AM]

Those things are ugly.

[E71 @ Sep 26th 2007 7:57PM]

Actually, it doesn't look so bad. Only problem is I like a watch with at least a few basic features. That watch looks like all it does is tell the time, no alarm, yada.

[Mike @ Sep 26th 2007 7:28AM]

Not bad looking but I still prefer Rolex....LOL

[LegendZ28 @ Sep 26th 2007 9:23AM]

I don't know how to break it to you, but the "Folex" you bought off the street probably isn't real.

[Gerald Tan @ Sep 26th 2007 7:34AM]

It looks like something the Terminator would wear.

[robert @ Sep 26th 2007 7:35AM]

these are probably one of the ugliest watches i have ever seen

[KraazyCraig @ Sep 26th 2007 7:56AM]

they dont look tooo bad, but ive seen better much ones from Diesel (non OLED though)
needs a bigger screen

[Randomness @ Sep 26th 2007 8:04AM]

Wow, could they have made the screen any smaller? :-/ Disappointing. What we need is the ability to customize the picture and placement of time on the watch Optimus Maximus style. Open source OLED watch anyone?

[ShawN_ @ Sep 26th 2007 8:06AM]

My nike OLED watch is way nicer than this ugly pos....

Um, that Nike watch is hideous.

[javier.guillermo @ Sep 26th 2007 7:54PM]

I love that watch, can you tell me the exact model and when did you buy it?

[ShawN_ @ Sep 26th 2007 12:54PM]

javier.guillermo i got it @ Cristmas 2006 but you can still buy it (at least here in Denmark... the model i am not sure about though i don't think Nike makes them nomore...

It cost 1000 DKK (you do the math) when i got it...

look at nike.com / timing for similar models

if it was just the screen without that massive metal plate at the top these would probs look decent.

[nih @ Sep 26th 2007 9:01AM]

You guys have to be kidding me. Those are some friggen stylish watches.

[huguesn @ Sep 26th 2007 10:33AM]

Geeks have no taste.. no seriously, it rocks! It looks like a stylish bracelet. I would definitely like to buy the first one, but the second, not sure!

[MikeG @ Oct 9th 2007 4:43PM]

^ I agree
Love the first one, second one is a maybe

[Geir E @ Sep 26th 2007 11:32AM]

It is more an individual style than something appealing to the general public. I would never wear something like that, let alone something else with the diesel brand name. Not that I think diesel is crap or anything like that. Just that the diesel image does not confront my personal image. So the watch would fit someone that want to wear something diesel perfectly.

[nih @ Sep 26th 2007 12:18PM]

What I don't get is the second watch screamed tasteful anime to me. I thought the nerdlingers would have been all over it. As usual someone cool will have to wear it before they get interested.

[hiimcliff @ Nov 2nd 2007 10:32AM]

as a cool guy turned technogeek i have to say that you guys are crazy. the watch is hot like fire. in fact i bookmarked this post because i wanted the watch and now i have it. and that nike watch posted in that previous post is ugly as hell.

[chris schmidt @ Sep 26th 2007 9:54AM]

If by "attractive" you mean "totally gay" then ya, they're pretty attractive.

[Thanol @ Sep 26th 2007 1:21PM]

I'm sorry if gays have better taste than you.

[Mike Botros @ Sep 26th 2007 11:00AM]

I just checked Diesel's online watch store... and um.. they're listed for $215 and $195... I wanted to get one, but where are they for the prices listed in this post?

[Mike Botros @ Sep 26th 2007 11:01AM]

oh.. nvm.. i just read the linked article.. found it!

[DrSextel @ Sep 26th 2007 11:54AM]

Thanks, but no thanks! I'll stick to my Patek Phillipe Grand Complication 5059J!!!

[Ellianth @ Sep 26th 2007 4:25PM]

This is bring back painful memories of that beautiful e-ink watch that engadget gave away. You know, the one i didn't win?

/me commits suicide.
