until it hits your hip/pants/pockets/handbag with every step
Washing your watch has never been easier
I just staple it to my face
BETTER IDEA, LEFT AND RIGHT INDICATORS
I knew a girl with “YL” shittily tattoo’d on her left hand, stood for “Your Left”.
i want to get a “no, your other left” tattoo on my wife’s right hand
Happy 420 lol
But your hands already have an indicator. Your left hand makes an L.
just for arguments sake let’s pretend i got no thumbs on my left hand. what then
You remember which hand you Lost your thumb(s? Igor?) on.
okay i gotta think up a better argument you’re right
But if he’s entirely right, how can he tell which of his hands is not the right one?
holy shit thanks
Yeah but then when I see a backwards L I don’t know what the fuck’s going on
WAH
It means they are reversing obviously.
thank you SO MUCH for the visual this is great 😭
Simpsons did it first
I legitimately used to know a woman who would benefit from wearing this.
In knew someone who would wear rings on the right hand for that reason
I hope they never put it on the wrong hand
They never came off.
When did you get to know my girlfriend?
We have the same girlfriend?!
there’s only one girlfriend, mate.
OUR girlfriend
containerized girlfriend
Me that was me.
Jessica?
Unfortunately no.
Jessico?
My sister would.
She’s a surgeon btw
Oh, you meant my left when preparing the kidney transplant…
Similar to boat’s port and starboard, surgeons uses the terms right side and wrong side. /s
First time I’ve ever seen such a design, but I approve. Until it gets in the way of masturbation…
It’ll just get in the way of everything you do, including that. A small price to pay for not needing to bend your wrist slightly to view the time!
Oh no, it definitely enhances the experience ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I want a big gauntlet with a largw screen and more processing power on my arm instead.
So like a Pip-Boy?
Yes, but not something that bulky.
honestly looking into it this looks sick as hell
While I’m not a fan of the leather implementation, I have to both agree that it’s a placement improvement in terms of ergonomics, and it does look pretty cool. I think it might wear out faster, being exposed to the gripping area of your palm, though. I’d expect it to be difficult to wash your hands or handle dirty/sharp items.

This has to be trolling. Like, no, it’s not, unless you prioritize the watch and functionally nothing else in your day-to-day life. (This is even just accounting for ergonomics, e.g. assuming this is achiral and can be transferred easily to the right hand – not how conspicuously stupid it looks.)
- Putting it on and taking it off is more complicated because you have to slide it over your thumb and do a tiny little strap and then an even tinier strap.
- Want to hold hands with a partner? I’m sure this’ll spice things up.
- What about that entire region of your palm? Who needs that all sensation when you have can a bunch of useless leather anyway?
- Continuing from the last point: inconsistency in the coverage of your palm just makes holding things weirder, especially including the phone your watch is likely talking with.
- Walking forward in a normal posture? Have fun near-inevitably smacking the shit out of your $300 smartwatch if you aren’t paying attention.
- Hot, sweaty day? Good thing there’s way more surface area covered by your clammy, leather watch on one of the most sensitive parts of your body.
- This genuinely looks like you’ll feel the edge of the leather hit your arm whenever you move your hand in certain ways. More importantly, you’ll feel the leather whenever you have your fingers curled in or hands together, and you’ll likely feel skin too, so it’ll just feel weird because of the constant inconsistency. It’d be so hard to become “nose blind” to because it’s always changing just a little bit.
- The ergonomics of charging this thing are surely more awkward than just a straight strap. And it’s even screwed in, so you can’t claim you easily pop the watch out and charge like that.
- Want to hide your $300 watch under a long sleeve? Too bad, fuckass.
- Choosing to switch it to upside-down? Too bad, fuckass; it’s in this one position you absolutely cannot adjust even a little.
Glancing to look at your watch is not that onerous even when done relatively frequently. Literally what could your day-to-day life possibly be that this is more ergonomical?
This doesn’t seem like a daily use but specialized for running/hiking. It’s like criticizing hiking boots for being uncomfortable and hard to lace compared to sneakers.
Want to hold hands with a partner? I’m sure this’ll spice things up.
If she has one too, we can upload pictures of Mike Tyson to them so they can kith
If you’ve ever had to wear a thumb stabilizer you know it’s really uncomfortable to have something wrapped around your thumb all day. (Enjoy those blisters in the webbing between thumb and index!)
And you have to remove it to wash your hands?
I think it would screw with the mobility of your thumb. That thing would be shifting all around if you used your hand.
I dont like it simply because it’s always visible. At the wirst, I can choose when (not) to look at it.
I would immediately smash it on a door frame
I got a Garmin for that reason. Couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve whacked it on stuff.
Can confirm
Don’t know what they build their watches with, but they seem to absolutely not care, when I smash them at concrete or steel
Which is good, because it’s my first watch again after like 20 years without one, and I needed quite some time to adapt - and still forget about it and demolish other stuff with it by accidentCouldn’t tell you how many times I’ve whacked it
Same
I wear mine while woodworking and I have dropped all kinds of tools on it with no issues
Actually, no, it looks stupid and is stupid. Hands carry all sorts of dirty bacteria. Those watches won’t last. Maybe that’s what they want though.
When was the last time you wanted to have a little pebble under your watch strap? Let’s wash dishes! Na!, my watch! Digging? Nah! My watch! Sex with a partner? Nah! Watch marks! Sex alone? ER watch strap stuck to penis! No!
Not for cooking, not for motorbiking or driving unless you like cuts on the little webs between your fingers. This is a dumb idea.
bold of you to assume that someone who gets this has sex
that’s why they keep the watch on during. unscrupulous sex worker might try to scam an extra hour out of them.
It’s just goth aesthetics for nerds. And somehow doing it with a smart watch makes black metal gauntlets look less silly.

I do think it looks pretty cool…but what about washing your hands? That’s the main issue with it I’d think.
Looks kinda neat, but also has big LOOK AT ME vibes. Not to mention the issues the other commenter mentioned regarding wear and hygiene.
I could see it being useful for larger devices a user has to interact with constantly to free up and reduce strain on the hand though.
It’s the “driver” orientation and there are even watches made with “12 at 2” to implement it.
It was for race car drivers back at the turn of the last century. It just makes you look like a dork now.
Wearing a watch at all makes you look like a dork anyway
I’m old, I’m allowed to wear my Timex.
You’re allowed to look like a dork. No one’s stopping you.
You’re the one walking around with a resting o face.
Ironman indiglo? Still miss that watch, and I haven’t worn one for 15 years.
White Weekender Indiglo. i have multiple watches but this one is my favorite.
That’s a classic.
A Chinese company, I think it was Mitigo? Made a wonderful white face watch with big lume indices but I missed out on it and I don’t think they have made it again. Thing cost like $65 and looked like a million bucks.
edit: Militado. This watch in white:
At this point just extend it down to ur wrist and call it a carpal tunnel wrist watch.
Looks uncomfortable. I wouldn’t want to wear a glove all the time.
A perfect solution to a non existing problem.
Rotate wrist watch ?
No. Too complicated.
I’d give it a shot. I doubt I’d stick with it though tbh.
Why not wear it on the inside of your wrist?
Its easier and more discreet to check, you don’t need a complicated new setup, and you won’t have any issues working with your hands.
I know some people do this already, and flip it around depending on the setting. Inner wrist when walking around, and regular placement when working at a desk.
Unless I’m getting whooshed here
It’s in lenmyshitpost. I would assume OP knows it’s bad.
ITT: Every commentor forgets where they are.
Cute meow meow
Hehe, she is very cute :) give her a pet from me !!!
What kind of coocoo does that thing have every your?
It bongs.
That’s a WATCH!
It’s modeled after a WW1 pilots watch. And boy those were chunky bois:
Bretty cool and stylish. 😎
Black top big t-shirt Billy Eilish
Show it to me with gloves on.
Would be great if it were a super tiny watch, like a waterproof electronic sticker. Completely intrusive as a chonky smartwatch.
Just what I need in my life! MORE easily accessible screens to help fuck up my brain chemistry
Yeeep, this right here.
I’m a nerd and software engineer, sitting in front of 4 screens right now. I own a smart watch which I wore 23 hours a day for years on end.
I stopped wearing it several months ago and I literally do not know where it is right now. I assume it’s in my house somewhere. 🤷♂️
The greedy shits that run the tech world have taken it too far. The switch flipped in my brain and I just do no care about tech “products” any more. If it connects to the internet or has a screen then it’s almost guaranteed to be designed in a way that goes against my best interests.
