The best way to describe the appeal of the Binary Watch is “techno-cool” – if there is such a thing. However, if this watch appeals to you, it might be safe to assume that the term “cool” has never been used to describe you personally.
As you have probably guessed, the Binary Watch displays the time in binary format. Here is a fairly simple guide to determining the time:
“Using blue LED lights to indicate hours and minutes, the LED “ON” means 1, and the LED “OFF” means 0. The first row denotes the hours and the second row indicates the minutes, and apparently the translation of time from binary to decimal is easy: simply (huh) add the numbers of lit LEDs on the upper row to tell hours, and add up the numbers of lit LEDs on the lower row to tell minutes. The upper LED-row (8-4-2-1) shows hours. The lower LED-row (32-16-8-4-2-1) shows minutes. The time is displayed for five seconds when the side button is pushed.”
So, If you are the kind of guy that likes a watch that doesn’t tell you a damned thing, the Binary Watch is available for £49.95 ($90).
