Most ridiculous watches you own

[Haku]

This is an anti-bragging thread for the most ridiculous / stupid digital watches you own.

I'll start off with:
http://www.haku.co.uk/pics/PokemonFurbyWatches.jpg

A 'talking clock' Pokemon watch and a Furby watch which is technically a game watch as it has two (terrible) games on it. Both run off a CR2032 and have actual membrane speakers in them for sample playback and dot matrix displays for the (terrible) animations.


What's your worst watches? :D

HI Haku.

Cool thread!
So much potential for grid displays like those but they use them for animations instead.
A watch with a grid lcd display and some cool games (like the GCE Game Time (http://gamewatchguys.com/game_watch_details.php?watchid=23&wo=)) would be awesome. Maybe centipede, pacman, space invaders, pong, retro games like that...

With today's technology a small watch like the size of the original Pac-man, and about 10 different games on an lcd grid display with micro joystick and 2 fire buttons. It would be insanely AWESOME!

...Here' a few of mine that qualify as anti-brag, or "What the hell was I thinking!?!?"

I have that Street Fighter II & XBox watches also, I've seen the Power Rangers watch on eBay a lot but haven't managed to persuade myself to get one even though it's a game watch because Power Rangers are terrible! :D

I got my brother a Casio CA-53W calculator watch for a christmas present, he loves Back to the Future and has a few collectibles, Marty wore a CA-53W in the 2nd & 3rd films, in the 1st film he wore a CA-50 which become very rare as it was quickly superseded by the CA-53W.

As for a dot matrix watch with a joystick you can play games on, the OnHand PC comes close - http://www.pconhand.com/onhandpc.asp

Yea but you have to get the street fighter watch game! Hadouken!!! LOL. Remember the horribly awesome street fighter movie with Van Damme? I always felt I knew karate after a good Van Damme movie.

All the ones i thought that were ridiculous were either trade some time ago or some few are for sale/trade on my web site.

But if you want a "what the hell ??" watch, go here:

Earlier this year The Gadget Show here in the UK did some testing of watches, while they were out on tour, this time in the US :)

In the final test they tried to see if any were bulletproof...! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pj-JUAHccU

Hi Sly.
Loved the video. The bulletproof watch was really big also!

That super big watch at $209, ...Would make a crazy Christmas present.

LOL!!! I think that the Burger Time was confused John more than i think...:) It was Haku who put the link of the bullet-watches video. ;)

Oh and Haku, thanks very much for the pictures of the Waltham Star Trek 2 and Imado Pac-Man that you put on HHM forum! :D
