If you have the need to smuggle sensitive data from one place to another and need to hide your usb drive, this is the watch for you. It features a hidden 4GB USB Flash Drive thanks to a secret compartment at the base.

Plus, it’s fairly plain so it won’t draw attention like say, a Tokyoflash watch. With this baby, before you know it, you’ll be stealing all kinds of company secrets. Unless of course your boss is reading the ‘Brick and notices how much your watch looks like this one.

It’s tradition to gift a watch to employees who have served you well and are retiring. So it’s easy to see Professor X commissioning this watch and presenting it to Wolverine one day. Of course that would make the Professor how old? Well, maybe in an alternate timeline anyway.

This is actually called the X-Watch and it’s a concept watch that should have been in the movie. It has numbers all along the length, and when they’re lit up it gives you the time. It also sports Braille so that the blind can use it. Or in case cyclops doesn’t have his visor handy and has to feel for the time.

We use the USB port for everything these days. Well, now it can even serve as a place to park your watch when not wearing it. At least if you have this watch, called the Timeless watch. It’s basically a hard drive ribbon with a usb adapter on one end and a watch face on the other. Connect both ends and you can barely call it a watch. Just charge it up and slap it on your wrist when you’re ready to hit the road.

Timex recently teamed up with Core77 and held a design competition called 2154: the future of time design. It was Timex’s way of celebrating 150 years of making watches. The runner up is a fascinating concept that’s not for nail biters.

Like nails on a…clock board…The TX54 would be worn on your thumbnail, and would remain clear except when you activate it. Then all you do is what you do now. Glance at the time. One thing though. Even those with large hands might find it difficult to read the time on their fingernail from say, half an arm’s length away. Pretty nifty though.

Watches, much like calculators are outliving their usefulness since we can get the time and crunch numbers using all of our gadgets. So watches are becoming more about fashion then needing the time. With that in mind, design student Nicolas Lehotzky has something new to offer.

It’s a watch with treads that move like that of a tank, or Caterpillar construction vehicles, incorporated into the band and the watch. The belt is fed through the strap in a loop and the number that’s shown on the raised watchface gives you a rough idea of the current hour. The belt could be modified for more complexity, giving it more accuracy as well. The appeal is it’s simplicity and originality.

Hey look, Richard Simmons’ new watch. The MioPINK Motiva heart rate monitor watch comes in a very female Richard Simmons-friendly pink. It features an EKG monitor that keeps an eye on your heart rate while also showing the time and date on the LED display. If that’s not enough, it will count of your daily calorie intake too so you can stay trim. 10% of the $89 purchase will be donated to breast cancer research.

I guess watches are scheduled for extinction at some point. We can get the time from any of our gadgets after all. So, with that in mind, why not honor the watch by letting it take other forms. Like a large table for instance.

Oh, it will still give you the time and date, never fear. But now you can also put stuff on it and feel important. It measures 80cm x 230cm and runs on 240 volts. Just like a real watch it comes in more then one color, either silver, chrome or gold.

Here’s the latest awesome looking, but hard to read Tokyoflash watch. This one is called Galaxy and features a “powerful formation of multi-colored light bars, developed using digital tube technology”. It also has a “custom linked, brushed silver strap”. But here’s what you really want to know. How do you read the time?

Hitting the upper button starts an animation, then it will show you the time. The twelve yellow bars are hours going in a clock wise direction, the red bars are groups of five minutes and the four green bars are single minutes. If you use the lower button it will show you the time immediately. It will cost you about $132 USD. Love em or hate em Tokyoflash is making the world look like Sci-Fi one wrist at a time.

It takes a special kind of nerd guy to strap a hand grenade to their wrist. First off it’s bound to be heavy thanks to it’s stainless steel case contruction. Plus it’s bound to get you all kinds of weird looks as you flip it open to see the time.

Chuck Norris may be the only person in the world that this looks appropriate on. It’s even water-resistant up to 3ATM, which comes in handy when you are pretending to be a Navy Seal. Comes in Army Green or Matte Black finishes with either a skinny canvas or wide leather and canvas wristband. They start around $125 each.

The Meteo Watch from Oregon Scientific will have the weather on your wrist whenever you need it. Unlike others, it doesn’t download weather from the air-waves, instead, it measures barometric pressure trends. This gives it a fairly accurate forecast for 12 to 24 hours in the future. And it’s not totally ugly either.

It’s got a reverse LCD display that displays one of 4 icons that include sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy and rainy. It also has a stopwatch function that goes up to 60 hours should you need one. Aside from that, there’s the typical calendar, alarm, and backlight, plus it’s water resistant up to 30 meters. You can get one for $69.99.

Rotary dial phones seem to be making a comeback, at least in gadgets if not actual phones. First there was the rotary dial app for iPhone. Now we have the Zihotch Retro Phone Watch, which is a pretty unique watch.

So how do you tell what time it is? You need to make a phone call to find out. Just dial 117 and the you’ll get the time from a recorded voice. Dial the wrong number and you get, “We are sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service. Please check and call again.” It can also be used as an alarm. It can be yours for $79.99.

This Limited Edition Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots watch is now available for preorder at UK online retailer Gamestation. It’s a great geek way to celebrate your love of MGS, which is an unnatural sort of love at best.

Made from stainless steel, engraved and numbered, and comes in it’s own black box with silver MGS4 logo, plus a certificate of authenticity from Konami. It was approved by Kojima himself. You better hurry. Only 500 are being released on October 31st, and they’re only going to be available through Gamestation. Sadly for some of you, they only ship to the UK. Hopefully you have some friends over there.

The Chapter One watch from Maîtres du Temps is a collaboration between three leading watch designers, Christophe Claret, Peter Speake-Marin, and Roger Dubuis. It shows. This watch is a real looker. Plus, the Chapter One has a tourbillon, retrograde GMT and date indicators, with a mono-pusher chronograph and 60-minute totalizer.

One of the coolest and simpler features is the pair of rolling displays that show the day of the week and the moon phase. Prepare to be broke after buying this beauty. It’s a limited edition of only 33, which immediately jacks the price skyhigh. It will cost you just under $400,000.

Here’s another cell phone watch. This one is pretty arrogant and cocky, proclaiming itself the Mind Blowing cell phone watch, with some different features. It’s from Chinavasion and gives you the option of filling up the micro SD card with movies or music that you can listen to over a Bluetooth connection.

I’m not sure which feature they believe is mind blowing. Could be the organiser, or the side mounted camera. Maybe it’s the GSM Compatibility, or the 1.5 inch TFT LCD 176×132 Touchscreen, or 3 x Digital Zoom. It must be the price at $193.13. Yeah, that must be it. Consider my mind blown.

After seeing so many watches with displays that are hard to read, it’s always a beautiful thing to find a sci-Fi stylish watch that is completely readable. This new watch from Diesel sports a dot-matrix screen behind a mirror surface, creating a look that’s both futuristic and stylish.

It can even be programmed to scroll messages up to 20 characters long if you have something you’d like to broadcast from your wrist. It’s available with either a mirrored patent strap or a black leather strap. Simple and futuristic for $170.
