Being online in the middle of the day with a project deadline looming makes mindless surfing a suddenly very delicious activity. Shopping online for geeky gadgets is just the icing on the cake, and compulsive ctrl-tabbing makes for very easy time passing. Which isn’t necessarily a great idea with the deadline and all, but while I’m at it, I realise I have excellent taste in watches.

I know you’re not going to disagree.

A year or so ago, I decided, whilst geek-shopping, that it would be awesomely cool to have a binary watch, because it’d be like nothing I currently own, out of a collection of way-too-adult watches (read: conventional). Moreover, they tell time with pretty LED lights. Need I say more?

The timepieces:

• A black bling bling leather-strapped binary watch. They might prove slight difficult to read, though, because they require some mental math. And I can’t do math—mental or otherwise. Here’s a white one, too.
• A long one, and much easier to read. A bit more trekkie, though. I’m not sure I can carry it off.
• Pretty, round and plain. Much more conventional, much less outlandish, much more difficult to read.
• A total classic. I think I might have had the plastic version some 15 or so years ago. But now, it’s goooooooooold! (via mrbrown)

Edit: I don’t know how I missed it, but there are more gold Casios at TheOldTech.com, and it’s Singaporean, so shipping is cheapie cheap cheap, if not free.

Further edit: I’ve got one! I was walking through the electronics aisle in a Chinatown mall, and one of them had the lot to choose from. Very happy am I. :) :)
