Scope 2 LED Watch is totally cool

The Scope 2 RGB LED watch has been thrust upon the world and we may never be the same again. All of us children of the 80s just about passed out at the very site of this ridiculous looking thing. It just looks cool. Like it comes straight out of "Wargames" or that spy movie with the kid from "E.T." and Dabney Coleman.

The functionality, however, is a bit strange. Telling the time with this watch is like learning a new language. Green and red lines relay the hours and a contrasting color targeting box surrounds each five-minute interval. Confused yet? There’s more. Individual minutes form clusters of dots that sit off to the side. Yeah, so what if telling the time takes an hour? It looks cool. Isn’t that what matters?

The watch is out now and costs $200.
