Only if it's the Darth Vader one!
Is it fair to say that we perfected the watch idea years ago, and all these "innovations" are just different ways of fucking it up?

people who make watches are like mad professors showing off their engineering skills, thats why they all still try and make watches with the most complications, even tho a cheap digital can do the same

The local watch bloke round my parents way has a sideline working on the gubbins in guns.
He's got an apron that he buttons to the underside of his desk to stop all the pingfuckits going everywhere.

Nor me. My dad was an electronics engineer and the stuff interested me but my shovels were always to rubbish for soldering. Still are.
