What kind of coocoo does that thing have every your?
That’s a WATCH!
It’s modeled after a WW1 pilots watch. And boy those were chunky bois:
Bretty cool and stylish. 😎
Rotate wrist watch ?
No. Too complicated.
BETTER IDEA, LEFT AND RIGHT INDICATORS
I legitimately used to know a woman who would benefit from wearing this.
Me that was me.
Jessica?
Happy 420 lol
Simpsons did it first
I just wish you could orient the watch so you can put the face on the inside of the wrist
A perfect solution to a non existing problem.
Just what I need in my life! MORE easily accessible screens to help fuck up my brain chemistry
honestly looking into it this looks sick as hell
Actually, no, it looks stupid and is stupid. Hands carry all sorts of dirty bacteria. Those watches won’t last. Maybe that’s what they want though.
When was the last time you wanted to have a little pebble under your watch strap? Let’s wash dishes! Na!, my watch! Digging? Nah! My watch! Sex with a partner? Nah! Watch marks! Sex alone? ER watch strap stuck to penis! No!
Not for cooking, not for motorbiking or driving unless you like cuts on the little webs between your fingers. This is a dumb idea.
While I’m not a fan of the leather implementation, I have to both agree that it’s a placement improvement in terms of ergonomics, and it does look pretty cool. I think it might wear out faster, being exposed to the gripping area of your palm, though. I’d expect it to be difficult to wash your hands or handle dirty/sharp items.
I would immediately smash it on a door frame
I got a Garmin for that reason. Couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve whacked it on stuff.
I have to both agree that it’s a placement improvement in terms of ergonomics
This has to be trolling. Like, no, it’s not, unless you prioritize accessing the watchface and functionally nothing else in your day-to-day life. (This is even just accounting for ergonomics – and assuming this is achiral and can be transferred easily to the right hand (edit: wait, no, it’s chiral; even less ergonomic) – not how conspicuously stupid it looks.)
- Putting it on and taking it off is more complicated because you have to slide it over your thumb and do a tiny little strap and then an even tinier strap.
- Want to hold hands with a partner? I’m sure this’ll spice things up.
- What about that entire region of your palm? Who needs that all sensation when you can have a bunch of useless leather anyway?
- Continuing from the last point: inconsistency in the coverage of your palm just makes holding things weirder, especially including the phone your watch is likely talking with.
- Walking forward in a normal posture? Have fun near-inevitably smacking the shit out of your $300 smartwatch if you aren’t paying attention.
- Hot, sweaty day? Good thing there’s way more surface area covered by your clammy, leather watch on one of the most sensitive parts of your body.
- This genuinely looks like you’ll feel the edge of the leather hit your arm whenever you move your hand in certain ways. More importantly, you’ll feel the leather whenever you have your fingers curled in or hands together, and you’ll likely feel skin too, so it’ll just feel weird because of the constant inconsistency. It’d be so hard to become “nose blind” to because it’s always changing just a little bit.
- The ergonomics of charging this thing are surely more awkward than just a straight strap. And it’s even screwed in, so you can’t claim you easily pop the watch out and charge like that.
- Want to hide your $300 watch under a long sleeve? Too bad, fuckass.
- Choosing to switch it to upside-down? Too bad, fuckass; it’s in this one position you absolutely cannot adjust even a little.
- Trying to get actual, blue-collar work done for more than 10 seconds? Your $50 or whatever leather strap will be looking incredible by the end of it.
- As you pointed out: went to the bathroom and want to literally wash your hands? 1) Have fun wiping with this fucking thing on, and 2) as you point out, have fun washing.
- Edit: This thing would get so germy. Not even just accruing grime and wearing down from touching stuff (even if you were really discerning about what you touch), but the thing would practically be a toilet seat of germs. At least you wash your hands fairly regularly and don’t hold out your smartphone for someone to shake as a friendly greeting.
Glancing to look at your watch is not that onerous even when done relatively frequently. Literally what could your day-to-day life possibly be that this is more ergonomical?
Looks kinda neat, but also has big LOOK AT ME vibes. Not to mention the issues the other commenter mentioned regarding wear and hygiene.
I could see it being useful for larger devices a user has to interact with constantly to free up and reduce strain on the hand though.
It’s the “driver” orientation and there are even watches made with “12 at 2” to implement it.
It was for race car drivers back at the turn of the last century. It just makes you look like a dork now.
Wearing a watch at all makes you look like a dork anyway
I’m old, I’m allowed to wear my Timex.
You’re allowed to look like a dork. No one’s stopping you.
You’re the one walking around with a resting o face.
Ironman indiglo? Still miss that watch, and I haven’t worn one for 15 years.
White Weekender Indiglo. i have multiple watches but this one is my favorite.
That’s a classic.
A Chinese company, I think it was Mitigo? Made a wonderful white face watch with big lume indices but I missed out on it and I don’t think they have made it again. Thing cost like $65 and looked like a million bucks.
edit: Militado. This watch in white:
Looks uncomfortable. I wouldn’t want to wear a glove all the time.
Hard disagree. This is awful.
Has anyone ever developed wrist problems as a result of looking at their watch? If not, what problem does this actually solve?
I doubt it, but personally i did find it to be a really uncomfortable position for a watch and required odd twisting of the arm to see the face of the watch and i constantly hit it on every single surface.
I fixed it by wearing the watch on the inner side of my wrist. Much more comfortable and convenient to check the time.
If you use your hand just to check time - useful.
For everything else, terrible idea. String will catch up on everything and will etch itself in flesh between your thumb and pointing finger. Holding anything with your palm closed would become annoying as hell.
Why not wear it on the inside of your wrist?
Its easier and more discreet to check, you don’t need a complicated new setup, and you won’t have any issues working with your hands.
I know some people do this already, and flip it around depending on the setting. Inner wrist when walking around, and regular placement when working at a desk.
Unless I’m getting whooshed here
It’s in lenmyshitpost. I would assume OP knows it’s bad.
ITT: Every commentor forgets where they are.
Would be great if it were a super tiny watch, like a waterproof electronic sticker. Completely intrusive as a chonky smartwatch.
First time I’ve ever seen such a design, but I approve. Until it gets in the way of masturbation…
Oh no, it definitely enhances the experience ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I just staple it to my face
I want a big gauntlet with a largw screen and more processing power on my arm instead.
So like a Pip-Boy?
Yes, but not something that bulky.
