OMG I WANT. I sort of want. I almost kinda want. That is, I would have wanted if it had been just a little more nerdy. The idea is frickin' *brilliant*, but it's just a little too basic to be, you know, Superior Nerd Material. 1, 2, 4, 5, and 7 are all straight up regular numbers, or plain simple addition/subtraction. 6 is standard division, but at least there's only one of that. 12 and 3 are both degrees. Couldn't they have been a little more diverse? It's been a few years since I took any math classes, but I remember it being a *wee* bit more difficult than this. And I realize it's a tiny tiny clock face, but couldn't they have thrown in some binary, maybe an equation or a teeny-tiny matrix, you know, stuff that looks difficult and nerdy? Or like someone suggested in the comments, an LCD face that one could re-write, now that would be totally awesome. Still, if the price had been about 1/20th of what it currently is, and I hadn't bought a new watch just this summer, chances are I would have gotten this one. Good on them for the initiative!
