My "Infection" model is great for checking the time in dark environments and works as a great conversation starter. A common (and fun) story: One night when we were downtown I was wearing my watch for the first time. A friend in the group was giving me grief over it, saying how it was a toy and his Tag was a real watch. He pulled over a random girl and asked her which one she liked better. She (of course) chose his Tag and he smirked in my direction, to which I replied "Yeah, but the only reason you got her to talk to us is because of *my* watch, so it served its purpose", with a smirk back.

That displays the time in number of seconds since Epoch. In hexidecimal. With the A-F characters replaced by their Cyrillic equivalents. That's the watch I want. If I had one of those, I might stop buying watches. I might! You know what I dream of? A Nixie watch. That displays the time in number of seconds since Epoch. In hexidecimal.

The digits change every minute at random, but always so that the "correct" digit is never shown; hours of deductive time-telling await! Kawaii!!
