getDigital Binary Wrist Watch for Professionals with LED Lights - A Black Digital Clock that Depicts the Time as Binary Code

The watch is so comfortable to wear and quite light weight too. I always seek geeky (or bright coloured) watches, no inbetweens. Get digital scores extremely high on my geekometer and I love the reaction from friends. It's a great conversation piece and I love wearing and using it.

It's a nice watch and it arrived in really good time (I used amazon's free shipping).My experience mirrored other reviewers - when setting the watch the instructions say it flashes, but it did not for me. It was fine though, if you are bright enough to have a binary watch you're probably bright enough to set it.My only negative comment may not come as a surprise - this watch is unisex but leans more towards men. As a female I have to have the watch on the smallest loop and it looks HUGE on my wrist - I will probably make a new strap for it at some point. There's no doubt people will notice I have this on which isn't the subtle look I was going for when I bought it.If there was a female version I'd recommend that to other women thinking of buying this, but alas there is not (unsurprisingly!)Overall it's a nice watch and has a neat, sleek look.

There are two A5 instruction sheets inside the box, one in English, one in German. The watch is easy to set up. You merely hold down the Mode button for about 5 seconds, then use the Adjust button to set the correct hour then the correct minute. I made sure to set the minute at the same time as a minute was updated on my radio-controlled clock. I have had the watch for about 3 weeks. It has kept excellent time, the minute on the watch being updated at the same time as the minute on the radio-controlled clock.Apparently, the watch runs on two CR2032 batteries, which you change yourself if you have a small screwdriver.The strap is black plastic, quite thick, and quite wide. I find it comfortable.I received my watch for less than £17 poiunds, and it seems excellent value for the price.Note that it is not waterproof. The face is not illuminated, so it can be quite hard to read in bad light.The time is not displayed permanently. When you press either the Mode or Adjust button to obtain the time, the LEDs remain lit for 6 seconds before turning off again. Initially, this can be too short to determine what the time is, but you soon learn to use tricks. For example, if the 32 minute LED is not illuminated, but all of the LEDs to the right of it are illuminated, then the minute must be 32-1 = 31. Again, if the 8 minute LED is not lit, but all others are, then the minute must be 63-8 = 55.Other reviewers have said that they have received comments from other people who see it in use. No-one has yet commented on my watch, but I use it strictly as a watch rather than as a conversation piece.I enjoy using the watch and wear it whenever there is little likelihood of rain. I am glad that I bought it.

Purchased this item as a joke gift for my girlfriend. I have been studying a Foundation Degree in Computer Science and have been boring her with the details of what i have learnt over the past couple of years. She seemed intrigued by the way in which computers functioned using the binary system so decided to get this for her.Its brilliant for people who are beginning to learn how to convert binary to decimal (although you may be waiting a while for an answer when you first ask them what the time is!).The top section of lights on the face of the watch are for the hour and the bottom set for the minutes. This watch will also fit people with larger wrists so its ideal for anyone really.

The watch would not go into setting mode no matter how long you held the mode, button so the time could not be set. After replacing the battery the watch wouldn't even display the time regardless of whether it was correct.Leaving aside the fact that the watch was faulty, battery replacement is awkward with a clip that is tricky to release and feels flimsy.I know you can't expect much for the price, but a watch that worked might have been a start!

Brilliant watch. Still learning to tell the time on it but it gets a good reaction when other people see you tell the time with it! The write up says its best for people who already understand binary. I disagree. It doesn't take long to understand.My only pointer would be is that the instructions say the lights will flash when setting the time whereas they actually don't, took me a while to realise but don't let this put you off buying it as I've told you now!

a bit of a gimmick but as its cheap i should say it is actually what it says it is very hard to read but through wearing it you get to learn how to add up the numbers quickly Only 4 stars not 5 because you cant distinguish between the numbers in the dark and the LEDs should probably give you more than 4 seconds to count up the numbers
