Seriously, though, my calculator watch is quite bling bling. I don't know who this chick thinks she is, saying that they're not sexy.

I consider it a bee-hotch deterrent. If the girl can't get over my nerdy watch and/or my general nerdiness, then begone!

Yep. It's bad! But it is your right to look however bad you choose. So I say, the hell with her and her article!

My watch doesn't have a calculator but it does have a pager. Is that good or bad?

Pager watches are borderline. On the one hand, they're approaching Dick Tracy coolness. On the other hand, they can't touch the GQ-coolness of a good Citizen or Seiko. And they're probably not as useful/easy to use as a good alphanumeric pager. But then, I have somewhat of a prejudice against multifunction devices that don't do any one function particularly well and cost a lot. :p

Calculator watch...HAHA, what a geek!

Only thing geekier is someone who posts thousands of times on a computer hardware forum!

Wait.

(looking at post count)

Dammit!

Can't say I've ever owned a calculator watch. Nor do I have a desire to.

Ive only ever worn Timex, Fossil and Nike watches.

Well, at least it's nice to know they notice when you wear a good looking, quality watch. I have to agree that calculator watches just suck the big one.

Calculator watches are useless for real geeks.

Thats why I have my TI-89 taped to my wrist at all times. :D
