There are memes out there that make fun of people who pretend to be geeks because “geek is chic” in 2011. In many cases, it has given the real geeks of the world a bad name. Thanks to the good folks at Uncommongoods, you can keep a good test on your wrist at all times. Just whip this puppy out to so-called geeks and ask them to decipher it. No, it’s not good enough for them to know that 3! is six just because it’s at the bottom. They need to know that it means 3 factorial (basic stuff for many juniors in high school, let alone a true geek). If they can get 4 or 5 of them right, they might be a geek. Half or more and you’re…

Hey, wanna look like a time traveller? That’s a stupid question, yes you do. This here thing what you’re looking at is not an ancient Atlantean technomantic power talisman, but a goddamn watch. A watch! Okay, yeah, it does other things too – things like act as a Bluetooth headset for your phone, a remote for Skype, a controller for your MP3 player. Y’know, stuff you’d expect it to do. But I’m honestly more impressed that the folks at Tokyoflash have found a way to cram a timepiece into this thing as well. And, in true Tokyoflash fashion, they’ve found a way to make it confusing as dicks to figure out. In…

The Thrifty Phone Watch – because we don’t already have enough gadgets that keep us distracted from important work and other tasks throughout the day. Apparently as technology advances, people are getting lazier and need a device that’s with them at all times. You don’t even have to hold this one, so bonus! The futuristic gadget is multi-purpose and especially helpful when you have no free hands to hold a phone, or are at an event which doesn’t allow iPod’s or other devices. The Thrifty Watch Phone is a video camera, MP3 player and PDA. Who needs all of those things when you can have just one and leave…

The funny thing about tech geeks is that, while most of the time we’re all about the latest and greatest, we also occasionally love us some retro nostalgia. Whether pixelated images of Sonic the Hedgehog or the bleeps of an Apple II, we like to look back on the technology and style of the past. And when it comes to the retro-tastic, it’s hard not to respect this ghetto blaster necklace watch from Caliroots. Not only does it recall a time when people would walk down the street blasting Grandmaster Flash on their boomboxes, it also reminds us of the trend for wearing big, fat chains. On top of it all, the clocks…

I’m a total freak for Twitter. It’s the greatest thing to happen to the internet in ages, and I wish I had it on me at all times. I’d get an iPhone app, but the hell if I’m paying an iPhone-sized monthly bill. Fortunately for me, the designers at Tokyoflash are working on an alternative concept that will rock your socks into another dimension. I’d like to have a romantic relationship with this watch. Check it out: we’ve got three modes: microblogging, which can display your twitter and Facebook contacts’ status updates, world clock, which can give you the skinny on what’s the when…

Detroit used to make cars, now they make auto-inspired watches. In a classic example of life imitating art imitating life, Equipe Watches, based in Detroit, makes watches with a distinctive, if inexplicable vehicular theme. With product names like ‘BUMPER’, ‘CHASSIS’ and ‘HEADLIGHT’, it’s clear that Equipe has been huffing gas fumes for quite some time. The watches are bold and chunky, with some featuring straps that look like tire tracks, or bevels that look like headlight rims. The designs will certainly appeal to the NASCAR crowd, if not many other people. It’s great to see Detroit reinventing…
