    I wouldn't they are interesting but I would never be able to tell the time at a glance and as far as watches go I always go for something rugged.
    The one I've been wearing most lately is this one http://www.casio-europe.com/euro/watch/gshock/gw-2310-1er/

    I know G-Shocks aren't the prettiest watches or likely to impress anyone but they are tanks and very reliable.

    I don't know what exactly it is, but this watch is freaking sick. I would totally rock this, and I don't think it would take long for me to quickly tell the time honestly, since it's broken down into sections. I want one now :(

    I used to have a binary watch, you do eventually get used to telling the time at a reasonable speed. Not quite as fast as the system you've likely been using your entire life though, I think it took me about 3-4 seconds on average.

    I've got several "different" watches (including a binary watch), many of them from Tokyoflash.

    My most recent watch purchase was this:

    And yeah, it's a watch too...

    Have you rooted it yet? There's a whole bunch of Android powered watches coming out so hopefully they'll all be easy to root and some watch specific apps will be available in the platform's future.

    I actually own a Onhand PDA watch which was a totally stupid purchase but at least it could play tetris. I doubt that thing even works anymore though it's not like I ever a watch.

    Nope, I actually use the training functionality and don't feel a need to mess with what's working. Although I will admit the thought of turning it into a tiny tablet seriously appeals to the geek side of me. :)

    Based on the video it doesn't look like you lose any functionality by rooting it since you can switch between the launchers. Ether way these Android watches are a hell of a lot more useful then sticking an iPod Nano on a wrist strap since they have bluetooth.

    Given how useful it is to me in it's unrooted state, and the little I'd have to gain by rooting it, I'll pass. :)
