Here’s a watch any stoner would be proud to wear. From Jeff Spicoli to Shaun White, anyone with a mop of hair on their head would dive headfirst into concrete for this Vans watch. Featuring the iconic checkerboard pattern and no numbers, it’s simple and easy to use. Someone asks you the time, you look at it and reply “HALF-PAST! Ha! Boy am I stoned!”

Even if you’re not a stoner, it’ll most likely fit anyone with a laid-back lifestyle. You can currently scoop one for $35 off Amazon. Schweet!

Though the fundamentally awesome concept of time and space appears intriguing to both stoners and astrophysicists, only one of two groups can afford this particular watch. Designed by Swiss watchmaker Romain Jerome, the Day&Night watch offers (wait for it) only two modes of time: day and night.

The Wall Street Journal explains how it works in exceptional detail:

The watch features two tourbillons — devices that overcome the ill effects of earth’s gravity on a watch’s accuracy — connected by a differential mechanism. Instead of hands, the watch has a “contemplative tourbillon operation whereby the ‘Day’ tourbillon operates for 12 hours to symbolize working life, while the ‘Night’ tourbillon takes over afterward to represent an individual’s private time.

Call me crazy, but ridiculous price aside, I love the concept that this watch is going for. The idea of transitioning time twice throughout a 24-hour period is appealing and would make for a wonderful way to segue into the evenings. If you’re looking to get one, I apologize. They sold out in a mere 48-hours.

Interesting…yes. Yet so extremely painful looking. Spotted on the same site that brought us the extreme wristwatch piercing. Quite an extreme way to show your love for the old Konami game code on the Gameboy. The retro style original Gameboy sure does bring back some memories too. And such a cute little tummy! — Andrew Dobrow

Some things were promised to us in old science fiction movies about what the future would bring. Flying cars was one, which is still yet to happen despite our prayers. Another would be space travel, which of course has happened, but not to the far reaches of the universe like the movies would lead you to believe. And of course the old wrist transmitters. Featured in movies with both video and no video, but cool features. Luckily for us, the video wrist watch is another prediction which became reality.

The OLED Video Wristwatch from geek gear troubadours, ThinkGeek, has a 128×128 pixel 1.5″ screen, which surprisingly is said to have an impressive crisp picture. The watch can also display images, play MP3s and WMA files, and oh yeah…it can tell the time as well.

Through the wonders of technology the wristwatch charges through a USB, providing 7 hours of play time (4 hours of video playback) and comes with a mini CD which contains the software needed to convert videos into such a tiny format. Both a 1GB and 2GB version are available, depending on the amount of dough you wanna lay down.

For $130, the 2GB version can be yours, which is a small price to pay for the opportunity to don an article of electronics that has been dreamed about for decades.

We enjoy a DIY project just as much as the next gearhead, but this caught our eye instantly. Nothing catches a geek’s eye like the classic game of Pong. Mix that with a do it yourself mod project and you’ve got yourself an all-star product. The creator managed to fit all of the essential electronics in a 10mm thick wristwatch. The contraption manages to fit in a battery capable of a 25 hour charge, so it can be charged nightly for plenty of juice the next day. And surprisingly the LED screen runs continually instead of having to press a button to illuminate the time. Video after the jump.
