Okay, I knew I recognized the watch, but you totally busted me. Perhaps it's because I'm more of a Danish Modern guy and less of a googie guy, but the watch is a statement. I worry, I think, that there is some compelling marvelousness about wearables but I just can't see it. I had any number of calculator watches for the simple reason that fuck yeah calculator on my wrist. However, that form of technofetishism went out in like '86 and hasn't really come back. It's interesting that you mention motorcycling. "On my wrist" is the last fucking place I want my info. I keep mine on my tank bag, and it works fine. I just bought an Arai Defiant; I suspect it'll be my last helmet without a HUD.
