mental watch

edited November 2008 in Chit chat
its that time of my life again when i need to buy another watch.

so i want to buy a watch where the hands spin round really fast like there is some supernatural event going on. preferable id like this to happen intermitandly or with a press of a button so i'd be able to look at the time if i need to. well it'd probably be good if the hands spin round fast all the time and i can stop it.

anyway, does such a thing exist, if so can you post a link please.

thanks

    No idea, but the Casio watch I have recharges it battery with a solar cell and synchs the time every night with the radio time signals from an atomic clock.

    Dunno, but here's some crazy watches, or watches with crazy prices:

    I like the little robot one, but sadly it doesn't seem to be for sale any more

    I don't know much about watches but "Mental Watch" has to be the title of Endomols latest show.

    My main watch is a Timex Ironman Speed and Distance system which uses gps to see how fast I'm going and how far I've gone. I don't understand why it hasn't been working recently the treadmill says I've done 5km but my watch says I haven't moved.

    Speaking of which, how about a Sinclair Black Watch? You'd certainly have to be mental to wear one of those.

    I've never really liked Rolex watches, even though the majority of them are super expensive they just look cheap and tacky.

    Used to like Tag watches until all the radgees started wearing Sunday afternoon marketplace snides of them.

    Dunno about watches, but if you put the wrong battery in a clock, you can get the hands to spin backwards. Looks like something out of the Time Machine!

    yeah that'd be ace in a watch, it'd be cool when someone was asking you the time and they freaked out cos you were talking backwarrs at the same time.

    Just out of interest I just counted up how many things I've got in my pockets and work van that tell the time other than my watch- 4 things! Man alive, watches must be like, so 20th century! Strange thing is, they all said different times.

    I don't wear watches ... I usually just know what time it is. The time it gets "complicated" is when they change the clocks, then it takes me a few days to calibrate my inner clock give or take an hour.

    The last time I was seriously into watches was ... well ... whenever the Swatch watches were all the rave ... I had about 10 different ones.

    If I were to get a new watch I'd go for one of those hand-motion cranked ones, where they re-charge themselves with each movement of the hand.

    A few WoSsers here would probably over-charge and ruin their watches that way doing ... well ... erhm ... fap-faping (haven't heard that one in a long while from MtB).

    Hmmm....recharging the time machine...wish I had thought of that one when my mum caught me.
