Diesel LED Watches Have Hidden Mirror Displays for Sci-Fi Chic
Posted by Gizmodo US Edition at 11:15 PM on June 12, 2008
Ah, a digital watch with an LED display that's not impossible to read... fantastic! Even better, the LEDs on these new watches from Diesel are a dot-matrix screen, and are hidden behind a mirror surface that makes the whole package look suitably sci-fi. Like something Luke would've worn on his cybernetic wrist. You can even program the display to scroll messages up to 20 characters long. Having "Use the Force..." scrolling past is too much, you think? Available with a mirrored patent strap (DZ7091) or a black leather one (DZ7092) for US$170. [Diesel via Technabob]

I don't wear watches...and if I did I would use the mirror. That is what I have my MAC compact for :)

LED Watches - so complicated, it's like asking someone else for the time.

Maybe it's me, but I can't read that thing...isn't that what the watch the Predator was wearing?

What is that... silver paint on leather?
If it had a metal band then that would be DustyApproved™.
As it stands... Boo.

@winkydink: actually, since I bought my TokyoFlash watch (mine is black, not gun metal), I've been approached by a lot more women. And not just anybody, but women who are usually more geeky and like gadgets, women who are a lot more compatible with me, so your birth control argument is invalid.

Yet another Birth Control Watch. Wear it and there's no way you'll ever get laid.

@GoatMonkey: I think it's a message from 3PO and it reads "D2:hi"

So it's like you bait up your wrist with your "First we take Manhattan... then we take... the WORLD!" Babe Magnet Watch and step out...
... some time L8R...
Cute Nerdette: "Hey there what's your name?"
@neuralien: "Neuralien, and my IQ is outta this world !"
Cute Nerdette: "Come back down on Earthmomma, 3PO... got the time?"
Neuralien: "Ya, I do... it's a Diesel and I'll sell it to you for $160.oo!
Cute Nerdette: SIGH (and I was going to ask this loser, "my place or your parent's? ")
/pass.

Looks more like the Gi-normous countdown timer watch Snake Plysken(sp?) wore in Escape from New York.... just sayin.

@ANoel: tells time, fits on your wrist=full watch. Bonus of it being a mirror and conversation piece when you're not telling the time.
