After years of suffering, watch geeks are finally getting products dedicated to their quirky and specific tastes. Sure, any oldster can sport a gold Rolex, but what is an Emo kid with a gadget fetish to wear? A Swatch?

Companies like Tokyoflash and Nooka have filled that techno-void with watches that are both high-tech and cool looking. Now, add another member to that selfsame roster.

I’m not quite sure what’s going on here, but this watch helps you take out folks at 1000 meters, which is a great help to those in that line of work. Clearly, there is more to this than I can fathom, but it allows you to enter various pieces of shooting data in order to line up and blow away just about anyone.

Calculate point of impact by inputting critical variables that determine elevation and wind adjustments. Works on all MILDOT, TMOA, SMOA and clicking rifle scopes. Punch in data about the ammunition you are shooting and the conditions you are shooting in and the watch will display the appropriate hold over for a sure hit… It’s that simple. This enhances a shooter’s confidence to engage targets out to 1,000 meters with “whenever/wherever” portability. Data is easy to enter - even through gloves - with the most critical information arranged for fast change and access. Accuracy on your wrist!

Excellent video review of the Oceanus 5 Motor by Christian at WatchReport… hmmm… maybe the Scorpion will get similar treatment.

Another day, another fancy pants watch from TokyoFlash. Man, this one is a peach.

The Biohazard watch uses an advanced color LCD display to simulate the effect you might see on Mr Spocks tri-corder or in many Science Fiction films. The readout, in fact, tells the time by counting the colored segments.

A press of the button sends the watch into scan mode and the various panels & readouts animate as if scanning the area for life forms. After a few seconds the results display the time, but the animation sequence can be skipped if desired with a second press of the button.

Another day, another TokyoFlash watch. This is 1.4-ounce Retsu. When you press a button, the lights race up and blink the time, one digit at a time. It costs $130 and your pride, so be ready to cough it up.

Dick Tracy can suck an egg because the Aigo Digital MP3/Video/Watch is here. This is an amazing watch with a bright OLED screen and enough memory to be dangerous.

This one is a little different… and probably the most advanced. The F029 from Aigo has a full color OLED color screen (160×128 pixel resolution), it plays MP3 and WMA audio (including DRM), and it also does MPEG-4 video (Xvid/AVI). A headphone port, playback/navi controls, and mini-USB 2.0 port are located on the sides. Two models will be available, with either 512mb or 1gb of internal memory. No word yet on its battery life, the price, or availability outside of China.

Do you need to pimp? Do you need a watch? Then why not get the Pimp Jive Turkey, a $135.51 digital with infinity mirrors, bright green LEDs, and a sense of style so perverse that you may kill the kids on your block with your cool.

Make no mistake, the LED’s on this watch are very bright. Just to prove it to myself I went out into the blazing sunshine to test it and I had no problem to read the time even in direct sunlight.
At night time though, the display really pimps its stuff. The infinity effect is nothing less than awesome. In the bar I visited last night I had 3 different girls come over to ask me about the watch & the bartender even gave me a free beer when I let him try the watch for a while. Now that’s what I call Pimpin!

Now that’s an endorsement.
