A New Time

BINARY CODE WATCH


Hard core techies and design aficionados alike are sure to appreciate the enigmatic power of this stylish binary code watch. Featuring the standard Base 2 number system used inside all computers, it has a green circuit board face displaying cool bluish lights that each represent a power of two - 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32. A series of electrical impulses sets the lights on (1) or off (0), generating a simple formula that can tell anyone the time - if, that is, they know the code. Imported. Watchband is rubber. Instructions included.

Comments about BINARY CODE WATCH:

I bought this for my IT professional, former physics major, math loving boyfriend. He thinks it's so cool! I think it's hip looking on his wrist. It has started many conversations, and he gets a kick out of explaining how to read it. Only complaint....rubber watchband is very rigid, and a little sharp on the edges. We simply had a different one put on at our local watch shop.

Comments about BINARY CODE WATCH:

I really liked this watch. I liked it so much I bought one for myself as well as my boyfriend. The only thing I would change is maybe to make it more comfortable to wear, because it gets a little itchy on the wrist because of the squared-off stap holder. The only other thing would be to possibly make it less "man-like". I admit I am a geek and can read binary and do all that computer stuff but I may have like a slightly more feminine look (not pink) but maybe a tad smaller.

Comments about BINARY CODE WATCH:

This was one of my favorite gifts for my husband--and one of his too! He wishes the band was a bit more comfortable, but loves it otherwise. He often wears it to meetings and conferences and gets tons of compliments!

Comments about BINARY CODE WATCH:

I bought this watch for my father and it was a BIG hit! He's not necessarily the most trendy or up-to-date with his fashions, but the uniqueness of this watch was right up his alley! It's fun to see him challenged by the binary code and he really enjoys showing off his ability to read the binary code to his friends. In fact, his co-worker loved the watch so much that he went out and bought his own!! The watch is also a great show piece that lends itself to jumpstarting any conversation.
