A watch fit for a geek

[almostnot]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a watch that I can be proud of as a gamer, metal fan, comic book reader and general geek and am struggling to find one in the normal world of shops that doesn't make me look like a bizzarre nerd/wannabe guido.

Has anyone else found this to be a problem? And if so what solutions did you find?

A pocket watch. Duh.

Try Ebay. I found a pocket watch with Sephiroth on it. Stopped working after a few weeks. Don't buy anything from China.

Just take a watch broad leather strap, those things are cool!

Though of course it depends on how much of a nerd you are, personally I find this thing awesome.

I'm really not much of a nerd... and I think that watch is fucking amazing.

I have that watch, it's great for the look of puzzlement on people's faces when they ask you for the time.

Have you ever struggled to know if it's 3am or 3pm? Hehe.

Any idea where I could get it in the UK?

There's a watch on thinkgeek that displays the time in binary.

I used to have a Storm of London watch, it was a Christmas present years ago. It consisted of a metal plate with two blue domes on top. When you pressed the button on the side led's would light up inside the domes telling you hours in one and minutes in the other. Unfortunately it was useless in daylight, you just couldn't read the led's if it was bright. I imagine they have now fixed this problem.

To the OP sorry I can't really help you, i'm not a watch person.

I bought mine from ThinkGeek, they deliver to the UK so it's not a problem. (Just pricey)
I think they have them on Play now as well.
