Other than the standard analog and digital methods of displaying time, I have yet to see an alternative method that is even remotely as easy to read. I think I will pass on this one, but it is interesting to see what they come up with.

Heh, crazy watch there Bart.
Dont know if I could tell time with it though, as I hate watches with hands.
Im an all digital guy myself.
Looks cool though. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

The pictured time is 2:38 and 40 seconds. That's a very interesting watch. It is a take-off of the LCD watches that display time by analog method (with faux LCD hands). I learned to tell time in the years when digital clocks were NASA technology. I still can interpret the time quicker from an analog clock than from a digital. Seeing "4:55" on a clock still doesn't register as almost 5:00 in my brain as quickly as seeing a minute hand near the 12 o'clock position on an old-fashioned clock.

Same here. An analog clock is actually a graphical pie chart showing how much of the hour has expired and how much of it remains. Being a visually-oriented person, I can interpret a pie chart much faster than I can interpret a string of digits. Come to think about it, when I read a digital clock, I convert it back into a pie chart in my head.
