Don't bother buying one.
When humanity is overthrown by the machines - we will all get one free. It will have accurate time, and our serial #.
Although I would welcome our bracelet bearing overloards!
Looks sexy.
Uh-huh...

Thanks for spamming us with a random website
lol, stupid me... it's not a completely random website.
I don't like it.
This is too non-futuristic/sporty for my taste.
Those numbers should look really nice in the dark, though
I mean, non-futuristic and non-sporty
do not want!!!
I like it, but I probably wouldn't actually wear it.
Wow, why so many negative comments? I actually like its look, it stands out because it has such a uniquely simple look to it, and goes back to the basics of a watch simply telling the time.
Yeah, because crystals with color-changing LEDs on them is "the basics of simply telling the time".
And IMO, it looks more like it's for women... I'd never wear it

By basics I meant as in a watch that does nothing but tell you the current time. If it were available in black or something I could see it as unisex, but yeah in this white color it looks more for women. And the color-changing feature doesn't really seem tacked on, just kinda cool.
Make it in black and I am SOLD. And I usually turn down watches since my blackberry is my life's timekeeper, but this just screams small and amazing.
the watch looks nice, but i tend to stay away from screaming gadgets
Why hasn't anyone mentioned that its white?
It looks like a fabric watch band -- I'm all for that. I hate metal and leather(ette) bands. But, cleaning / de-smelling could be a problem. I'm all for the black though.
I agree that a black one would be nice. A brown one would give a leather-looking to it so it may be even better.
This doesn't look like the crystals are emitting any light... using LEDs would create an entirely different effect that wouldn't look like this at all.
Instead, this looks like the crystals are simply changing color from clear to ruby red. Is that even possible?
hmm......maybe they could make it bigger and .....um.......I'm thinking of a neck collar....yeah......and leather......and spandex.......
How about some kind of nose-ring watch? Or is that going too far?
I think I liked this better the first time I saw it (circa 2004), and, oh yeah, can actually buy one:

That ones not as cool imo. But I wouldn't get this one unless it comes in black. White is too feminine in this instance for me.
yeah I was gonna make the same comment....and I have this watch. I get compliments on it almost everyday
and its designed by Philippe Starck
I would wear one... while drinking my Zima. *cough*
Looks alright, but what happened to just looking at regular wrist watches?
It is all kinds of ugly
Conceptual Crystal LED wristwatch is all kinds of FUGLY
Are they being ironic? It's hard to tell with these hipsters. That watch is fugly.
If it wasn't so girly looking, I'd wear it. Does it come in black?
Tag Heuer does it better.

Gorgeous might be a bit much and it's very feminine so I leave it as 'cute girl watch'.
This looks cute! ^^
I hope it does better than the 90's clear malt beverage...mmmm ZIMA
slick...
