One step closer to geek perfection
If we were all born perfect geeks then reading binary would be simple and intuitive. Decoding the logical strings of ones and zeros would present little difficulty, just like using an abacus (okay... maybe not the best example). Unfortunately, most of us are slightly less than perfect geeks and must spend a little time to learn the binary representation of numbers and letters. ThinkGeek would like to give you a chance to redeem yourself and in this regard we offer a wristwatch that displays the time in binary format.
This watch uses two rows of either blue or red LEDs to indicate the time. If a LED is glowing this represents a "one" for that column's value and if the LED is off this represents a "zero". The values for LEDs that are on can be added to determine the hours and minutes. In a short while you will be able to read the time in this format, thus moving you one step closer to geek perfection. Your fellow geeks will only be able to look at your watch with a somewhat bewildered expression when they ask you, "what time is it?
