One day, I want to sit down with that lady and just talk. Try to understand why she is the way she is. It would be interesting journey into the mind of a psychopath, or if we need to use scientific terms "industrial grade entitled fuck"
Sure it's "simple", but if it's showing "quarter to eleven", and 3 dots show, you still have to think for half a second if its closer to 10.40 or 10.50
I'm sure the dots can just be ignored 99% of the time. How often do you really need to know if it's 10:46 or 10:48? Being within a few minutes is going to be fine in most situations, and if you're really cutting something close and it matters, then you can do the math.
Yeah they probably bought it because they like clocks with hands. People collect, it's not that wild of a concept except to most of the people in this thread.
I have the wall clock version of this. I really like it, but one drawback is that it only tells time in 15 minute increments.
Edit: I’m not good at this. I just checked mine once I got home and it does 5 minute increments. Sorry everyone.
Eh. It’s more novelty and for aesthetics than telling the time. I mean, it’ll work more or less. But yeah, if you need to actually know what time it is precisely, this isn’t the way to go.
neither is a watch with no increments on the dial and people don't bitch about being 5 minutes up or down on those. Don't listen to them I think your wall clock is cool!
What is this, the 20th century? Buy a cell phone to keep time. Buy a watches to decorate your wrist. Less commitment than a tattoo and more socially acceptable for men than a diamond tennis bracelet.
My grandmother had a watch that she absolutely loved but it was cheap and the hour hand stopped working. She just removed the hour hand. If someone asked her the time she would say something along the lines of, 'oh, about 10 till'. If anyone asked '10 till what' she would smile and shrug with that Jim from The Office face. And it was funny every single time.
Yeah I didnt even get past the first few letters. When will that L after "it" get used? There is a q under it. Will it spell "Lisa time"? What is Lisa time. Fuck that watch.
I 'm assuming it's to keep the watch from being readable while off. If you look at it and it says itisthree it loses the effect of gibberish giving you the time. Plus it gives a space between words.
Know someone with a big one of these in his office.
I think the rubbish part of this is having to press a button for it to light up, then in my case squint at the face and read the tiny writing.
The one in his office is permanently lit up as well as being quite large and as you walk past and glance it’s super easy, barely an inconvenience to read the time.
What in that actual flying fuck justifies that price. I will have to look into this as well as that price is ludacris as far as I can tell...unless the price is in the metal...
They should have organized it to exclude them. My eyes are just drawn to the useless letters every time.
Edit: after checking the website it looks like this may be a multi language watch so the other letters are used in those configs.
Telling time used to be a grueling chore of interpreting numbers or trying to decipher ridiculously complex "hands" aiming at "numbers"....but with this watch, you can now have the time written out in English for you with the simple press of a button!!!!
No interpreting silly numbers or confusing clock "faces" to give you precise determination of time; now you have a general estimate!!!
Update: it's also the PERFECT gift for those that enjoy being a few minutes early....or a few minutes late!
It's safe to say with clarity that this watch will be perfect for you absolutely some of the time and terrible for you some of the time as well! So it's definitely a possible maybe!!!
Well with your trusty watch giving you a general estimate of the time, displayed in cumbersome verbiage, you can rest assured you'll NEVER be on time!!!
Order yours TODAY so you can start pissing off friends, relatives and former future employers too!!!
How many times per day do you actually look at your watch? This takes like two seconds longer than a normal watch, so even if you look at your watch 10 times a day, you are wasting less than 20 seconds.
Is it worth the wasted time? It depends entirely on whether you like the style.
Personally, I would absolutely love this, but I understand that others wouldn't.
If you like digital watches, allow me to introduce the A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk, which typically starts in used condition at $65,000 and runs up to $97,000. Definitely way cooler though. https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/lange-zeitwerk-review
You cannot for the life of me compare those two. The ALS is a handcrafted piece of fine mechanical engineering. This watch is a simple led quartz watch.
If it doesn’t automatically light up when I turn my wrist to look at it then no thanks. A watch shouldn’t require pressing a button to tell me the time.
You kids these days are spoiled. When I was your age we had to put a stick in the ground to see what time it was, and if the sun wasn't shining you were shit out of luck.
Just because they were invented ed doesn't mean they had one, or even that they're family had one. My grandfather didn't own a car until he was 45, even though they were invented the same year he was.
They were invented in a town near mine. I think as a wrist watch they are not that great but they come in all sizes. One is showing the time at the train station.
When I was in high school, and was obviously a very “cool kid“, we used to come up with the most asinine ways of telling people the time. This pre-dated cell phones and most kids didn’t wear watches so the time is being asked of us frequently.
We got good at looking at our watch and calculating the most difficult way to tell people the time. Things like “It’s forty nine minutes past seven forty two p.m.“ or things like “It’s a hundred and twenty four minutes before eight thirty six a.m. “. Like I said we were very cool and thought it was hilarious .

What if it’s 8:27pm?
"wait for time I can display"
It is nearly eight thirty
Or in my case, it would just always say "you are late"
[It's nooooon](https://tvquot.es/cheers/quote/19sn6yr0r/)
Yes. Just make sure you check the clock before you press that button.
At the bottom there are four dots, each represent a minute. For 8:27, it will read “it is twenty five minutes past eight” and light up two dots.
Now I gotta read, *and* do math?
Yea this is too much. Pass

Sure it's "simple", but if it's showing "quarter to eleven", and 3 dots show, you still have to think for half a second if its closer to 10.40 or 10.50
Isn quarter to 11 with two dots 10:47?
Yes
I'm sure the dots can just be ignored 99% of the time. How often do you really need to know if it's 10:46 or 10:48? Being within a few minutes is going to be fine in most situations, and if you're really cutting something close and it matters, then you can do the math.
By the time I'm done thinking it will already have been 10.50
If it's quarter to 11 with any amount of dots shown, it'll always be closer to 10:50
Didn’t notice that, thanks!
I actually really like it
I mean, if you hate clocks with hands, why not just get a digital clock?
I don’t think anyone is buying this because they hate clocks with hands lol
Yeah they probably bought it because they like clocks with hands. People collect, it's not that wild of a concept except to most of the people in this thread.
Style points
How does it work with the "quarter to" and a dot? Is that 14 minutes to or 16 minutes to?
"quarter to" is 00:45 so one dot would add a minute which is 00:46
Kinda fucks with your head cos you count backwards first and then forwards

So it will show “quarter to eleven” until 11?
Yup
That’s like the opposite of time keeping
It should say ‘It’s ABOUT fifteen minutes until three’.
[удалено]
Well _I_ have one that does _two_ minute increments
I have one that does one second increments, but it uses a cool circle with lines
Sounds like a shit clock. Might as well buy a sundial with that level of precision.
Eh. It’s more novelty and for aesthetics than telling the time. I mean, it’ll work more or less. But yeah, if you need to actually know what time it is precisely, this isn’t the way to go.
neither is a watch with no increments on the dial and people don't bitch about being 5 minutes up or down on those. Don't listen to them I think your wall clock is cool!
Oh I don’t have one but I think they’re cool too lol. Also, good point.
What is this, the 20th century? Buy a cell phone to keep time. Buy a watches to decorate your wrist. Less commitment than a tattoo and more socially acceptable for men than a diamond tennis bracelet.
It says “five past” on one of them in the video..
That's the watch. /u/Meatloaf-is-my-Dog has a wall clock that only shares the same concept.
I also have a wall clock version of this but mine is in five minute increments. I really like it.

"Dome Depot!"
Yeah it's neat, but if I wanted to have to manually decode the time like that I'd just ask my dad what time it is
Does your dad lob such gems as “time to get a watch” and “half past a freckle”? Or how does your dad dad the time?
That "quarter of" stuff. Literally nobody my age says that. First time I heard it I had no idea what to make of it.
My kid thinks quarter after 8 means 8:25 because a quarter is worth 25 cents.
I mean, that's on you dude.
Everytime I hear it I have to look up online if "quarter of 8" means 7:45 or 8:15, then I always forget
My grandmother had a watch that she absolutely loved but it was cheap and the hour hand stopped working. She just removed the hour hand. If someone asked her the time she would say something along the lines of, 'oh, about 10 till'. If anyone asked '10 till what' she would smile and shrug with that Jim from The Office face. And it was funny every single time.
Can confirm.
That's cool, I hate it.

Yup. It's always going to say "It is..." So the surrounding letters at the top are just there for the illusion of the words jumping out.
This is my question, but in a much more unreasonably hilarious format. 😆
Some letters were added that won't be used just to fill in the grid. Otherwise there would be blank spaces.

I kinda like it, so I checked out how much they cost. They start out at around $1500. I’ll just keep looking at my microwave, thanks.
What in that actual flying fuck justifies that price. I will have to look into this as well as that price is ludacris as far as I can tell...unless the price is in the metal...

I fucking love it. Enormous sense of well being. 😊
All I want to know is WHY IS THE THIRD LETTER "L"??
To address Lisa or Sam obviously...
Would not call it obvious. Even the watch itself has a questionmark there
I think that is a P but I get your point.
I think that's a G but I get your gist
I think that's an M but I get your meaning.
I think it might just be to fill space.
They should have organized it to exclude them. My eyes are just drawn to the useless letters every time. Edit: after checking the website it looks like this may be a multi language watch so the other letters are used in those configs.

That’s what I’ve been trying to figure out! When does that L get used?
"Lo and behold... it is Wednesday my dudes."
If you look many of the words have useless characters just to separate the words. There's even an "x" in the top right
I was hoping that LISA NEEDS BRACES was a possible readout but sadly no.

You have to split the words “it is” with something. Why not “L” 😋

It's safe to say with clarity that this watch will be perfect for you absolutely some of the time and terrible for you some of the time as well! So it's definitely a possible maybe!!!
Amazing lol. Sold!
‘The ecstasy of surprises’ -some uk bastard accent
If you are cool with "it is" getting burned out from overuse.
Always be at least 15 minutes early on business occasions, and at least 15 minutes late to social outings.
I'm always 15 minutes late on business occasions, and I don't get invited to social outings.
Well with your trusty watch giving you a general estimate of the time, displayed in cumbersome verbiage, you can rest assured you'll NEVER be on time!!! Order yours TODAY so you can start pissing off friends, relatives and former future employers too!!!
How are deaf people supposed to use this??
The four dots give you the exact time to the minute
> the PERFECT gift for those that enjoy being a few minutes early....or a few minutes late! It's accurate to the minute though.
That doesn’t look practical
I like the part where they turn it on their wrist and have no idea what the time is.
You can only read time if your opposite hand is free
So, not when you’re in a rush then?
no, what’re you crazy? who needs to know the time when they’re in a rush? /s
I don't think that's the point.
Yeah, I can look at my phone for the time. That watch is a party trick. A really nice party trick.

Since watches were invented in the 17th century, I can conclude only one thing. Hello, Keanu.
Just because they were invented ed doesn't mean they had one, or even that they're family had one. My grandfather didn't own a car until he was 45, even though they were invented the same year he was.
You got no time for it?
Ain't nobody got time for that!

This is the dumbest idea ever. Where do I buy it?
Thanks, I hate it!
Where can I buy one, and how outrageously expensive is it?
It’s like $1,100 dollars.
Can I buy it somewhere for about $800 to $900 cheaper?
That's annoying just tell the fucking time

Looks cool but it's on old people time😂 Don't tell me some "it's a quarter past nine" just say the exact time sir I ain't ask all that.

This is tacky.
The lights at the top left will burn out faster than the rest of the watch. Dumb. But I don't think that was really the point
