If you can’t own a machine that travels through time and space, this watch is an okay alternative. I mean, it sort of controls time. It’s nowhere near being a substitute, but it is pretty snazzy.

That’s right, Fashionably Geek is giving away yet another awesome watch. This time, it’s the Phosphor Appear “mechanical digital watch”—and we have two available for lucky readers!
If you recall, we reviewed the Phosphor Appear last year and came away impressed. The flipping mechanical movement of the Swarovski crystals on the face is mesmerizing.
Pebble Technology launched a Kickstarter campaign aimed at raising $100,000 for producing a limited run of their Pebble Smartwatch, which allows users to play music and make calls from their wrist using iOS and Android integration. In addition, the watch allows texting via Android, as well as the ability to run its own apps, including cycling and running speedometers and a rangefinder.
The project proved so popular that it raised a staggering $1,000,000 in just 28 hours, which left the team behind the watch absolutely ecstatic. The company says they’re “laser-focused on getting this watch onto your wrist as soon as possible”, and will provide additional updates soon.

Tokyoflash Japan has just released another unique wristwatch, and once again they’re giving one away to a lucky Fashionably Geek reader!
This time, you can enter to win the Kisai Optical Illustion LCD Watch. From the description:
“The limited edition Kisai Optical Illusion watch displays the time digitally through a maze of high resolution diagonal lines. Like many optical illusions, it’s really easy to see once you have trained your eyes. The direction of the lines in the display allows your eyes and brain to process only the lines that make up the digits that show the time.”
Indeed—getting a headache was never so stylish. Check out a demo video after the break along with all the details you need to enter.
Tokyoflash is hooking up Fashionably Geek readers yet again! But this time it’s with a watch that’s even more unique than usual. That’s because this version of the Rogue Touch is actually an LED pocket watch. Now all you need is a monocle.
Available in four display colors, the Kisai Rogue Touch Pocket Watch has a hybrid LCD/LED interface giving you the best of both worlds; the LCD display is always on so the time can be read at a glance and the LED backlight function means it will light up on demand.
A multi-functional watch design, the Kisai Rogue Touch Pocket Watch displays the time in two time zones and has a date mode, an alarm and a futuristic animation.
The touch screen display has four hot-zones (top, bottom, left, right). Simply touch with your finger to change mode; time, date, alarm, light up.

These keypad watches combine a retro computer flare with a unique, yet time consuming method of telling time. The saga begins by pressing (almost) any key to ask the time. Lights embedded in the keys then illuminate one by one, revealing the hour then the minute. For example, the illumination sequence 0, 9, 1, 5 would mean the time is 9:15. The watch allows users to choose between 12 and 24-hour time, and also features a hash key that displays the date.
The watch is available in a variety of colors and is priced at a reasonable $90.
