Us nerds are always on the look out for funky new watches to don on our wrists. This Zihotech Showa Wrist Watch is no different. Designed to look like an old time telephone, the retro-themed watch will be sure to draw attention to your overused wrist.

The watch tells time like no other. To hear what time it is, you must dial 117 on the rotary style keys, at which point, a voice speaks from the speaker in the center of the watch, dictating the time. If you ring a wrong number, the oh-so-familiar voice clocks in giving the spiel, “We’re sorry, the number you have dialed can not be reached at this time…” Available now for $52. — Andrew Dobrow

Jealous of the way other people’s wrists glow and yours is just plain and pasty? You too can have shiny wrists. Perhaps shinier than anyone else’s wrist. The Sparklab Wearable Light kit is a wrist cuff with embedded LED’s. The Velcro strap acts as a switch, so that the lights are only illuminated when the bracelet is being worn.

The kit is designed to investigate the DIY culture. “Marrying” sewing techniques with cool looking electronics, the kit allows you to create some simple circuitry to create a LED design of your own. Then, you can wear it when you go club hopping and show it off to all of your hipster friends. Yeah, they’ll be jealous. — Andrew Dobrow
