Jul 23 2008Fingernail Watch Doesn't Prevent Hangnails
The Timex2154 is a conceptual watch design that took runner-up in the global watch design competition sponsored by Timex and Core77. First place was a sundial. This particular concept was designed by a stoner (hence the 4:20) and fastens to your nail. You push the end to scroll through the different modes and change your color options. My girlfriend is so stupid she would probably nail polish right over it. Hey Timex, if you decide to manufacture this thing can you do me a favor and make a fingernail calculator too? I'm failing algebra because the teacher doesn't let us use calculators. Well, that, and the guy I chose cheat off of is apparently an idiot.
That's time at your fingertips [popgadget]
Thanks Mike, can I copy off you?

Uh, definately odd.
I think it's a good idea, but my wrist likes having a real, manly watch on it. Though, this is aimed at women, since most women tend not to wear watches because they then have an excuse for being late to everything.

Can I put it on my middle finger so I can flip the bird when someone asks me what time it is? I do that now anyway but at least I'd be answering their question at the same time.

Oh Geekologist, casual sexism is alive and well with you.

this seems like its either a pain in the ass to keep from coming off or a pain in the ass to take off. either way, I would get 10 of these bad boys and bling my fingers out. the silver part will really make my fingers a lot more tempting to chop off when i get mugged . . . I live in a really tough area in the suburbs . . . elementary school kids pick on me.

"My girlfriend is so stupid she would probably nail polish right over it."
Have to give credit where credit is due.....That was funny!

Awww, you made me feel sad for your plight, Julian.
And ah, so this is what we're doing with technological advances. Fun, fun.

They made the clock read 4:20, 'cause only stoned people would think this was cool. lol

It'd be better if it projected the clock on the wall...or projected lazer beams...can you find that one, Mike? ; )

cool, but unlikely... I can come up with all kinds of great ideas that aren't really feasible in any kind of practical manner.

what will they think of next?

...surprised no one's curious as to where the power sources for these things would be located, or how they work. I suppose that conceptually they're neat though.

I'm not a stoner, what's the 4:20 signify?
16. SheGeek - February 28, 2009 11:11 AM
I want one. Good question about where the power source, though it said disposible. I hope they make it available!
