LCARS, much?
I'm glad someone else thought this!!
I got the pimp watch and women are always curious:

haz alienz made watchez?
Why would they make a watch that displays Earth time?
so that the alien invasion can be at a time that is convenient for earthlings? I'd much rather be invaded during the day so that i could hear the instructions of my new masters... nothing worse than being killed for disobeying rules that you didn't know about.
It's 10:41 p.m.! Or a.m.?
-Karim
I have the same problem with my Tag... I can usually tell by looking out the window.
Oh my word. I want one. That is crazy-cool...
Is it 09:50 on the watch?
No it's 10:41 a.m. or p.m. I think it's p.m.
-Karim
Wrong it is 10:20 AM
@EXC: You are wrong, Karim is right, this is from their official website, and I quote, "Twelve yellow bars represent hours in a clock wise direction, eleven red bars represent groups of five minutes and four green bars show single minutes."
"a watch only a nerd could love"
And even that is asking a lot...
What's the time, Mr. Wolf....ehm, Nerd?
Oh help - I want one!
FTW, it's obviously 8 hours, and 10/12 of some unit, and 8/n of some other unit, where n is less than or equal to 16. So, that makes, em...
I wish they made it a wearable clepsydra.
ahh my plan is complete, with this watch I will finally become Uber-Nerd!
A Chick Magnet............. Not!
Guess that depends on the kind of chick you're looking for, hm?
They should have made it in the new metric format. 10 "hours", each divided into 100 "minutes". It's so much more simple than the old way much of the world still uses.
whatever happened to degrees as the new time standard?
whatever happened to the swatch internet time? 1000 beats in 24 hours. No timezone.

That's not going to get you laid.
When was the last time that any of you can recall that a watch had significant impact on whether or not you hooked up that evening? So these statements about how that watch is or isn't going to get you any play just doesn't make sense to me.
Because if you can find me the watch that DOES get you play, I'll pay good money, and finder's fees....
This one will.

yeah, I'm wearing that watch right now :) It's quite heavy and that's annoying sometimes.

EXC, how do you account for that green light being turned on?
The orange lights stand for hours, reds equal five minutes each, and greens one minute, making it 10:41.
-Karim
Yea. I see your point. The only thing I thought was, the small hand on a watch is the hours, so the smaller red ones were the hours... (But it makes sense that the bigger one is actually the hours)
I think the watch is broken. The time on my computer keeps changing the watch on the website doesn't.
Its the mural that hangs up in Quarks bar in DS9... called "the admiral" if you've ever read the millennium trilogy of books...
Least thats what it reminded me of...
I agree. I think this watch looks awesome!
Very unique. Like the old binary clock that I (used to have) at my desk. But easier to read.
It's as ugly as a wart.
Treckies rejoice!
arent tokyoflash watches really high quality? no way they are cereal box
If the Cardassians made a watch...
If the Cardassians made a watch...
Did you just have a seizure?
10:41am. The top light would be lit if it were after noon indicating 12 hours + whatever.
I have two watches from Tokyo Flash and guys and more importantly gals are intrigued by them. Definite conversation starters.
