Keypad watch: looks like a chunky calculator, tells the time

Watchismo's badass new multicolored Keypad watches are the followup to the equally badass (and be-dipswitched) Click Watches. Animated blinkenlights on each of the chunky keypad buttons tell the time in a fashion that is delightfully impractical.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

  My wrists are sweating and breaking out into a rash just looking at that band.

    If this could be retrofitted to open garage doors and security gates the world over, I’d have to approve.

Can’t seem to see on the linked website how to read the damn thing.

Any guesses?

Very cool. Would like to see one in person before making a purchase decision, but love the idea.
