Subdermal Implant Electric Watch Tattoo: Internal Geekery
We thought that the wristwatch piercing was pretty damn intense, but anything implanted completely under your skin has got to win in the extreme category. The Subdermal Implant Watch Tattoo, also called an “electric tattoo” is a special LED screen which is implanted under your skin.
Powered by your own kinetic energy, the electric tattoo watch illuminates when you turn your wrist towards your face. And since it’s powered by your own body movements, no batteries are necessary.

why not put it on top of your wrist parallel with your arm? you know, how you look down at a watch? haha!
doesn’t look too real to me, but an interesting idea

Yeah, that would make more sense, wouldn’t it Rob?
As for the authenticity, yeah, I think it’s blatantly just a concept, but it could happen.

I think Daylight Savings will give this watch a run for its money. New implant every 6 months, maybe?

Callum, maybe there is someway to adjust the time remotely, or maybe it’s done automatically like a computer or cellphone? That would suck if you had to get the thing cut out every time it fell behind.

The only problem I can see with it is ,
if you went overseas with it on and keept looking at you wrist,
you would never remember what time it is in the country you are staying in.

Being a concept, Damo, I don’t see why this device wouldn’t have some sort of frequency / GPS function which automatically did that for you. If not, there could be a way to adjust the time remotely.
