OVO Binary Watch

You've looked at your watch face a million times now, and unless it's a treasured sentimental gift it's difficult to still be excited by it, right? "Ooh, I've never seen it at 11.34 before! Look at the amazing angle the hands have produced!" is hardly likely to be the sort of thing crossing your mind when you're absent-mindedly trying to work out when you can leave the office for lunch. Surely there's got to be a way to liven up this most reflex-governed of actions? The OVO Binary Watch is a neat and engaging innovation that does exactly what you'd expect a Binary Watch to do - it tells the time in Binary format. No longer will you glare down at those predictable hands or digits - now you can relish the task of adding up the dots to determine the minutes and hours. To start with you'll probably find that by the time you've worked out what the time actually is, it won't be that time any more - but hey ho, what's a few minutes here or there? Er, unless you're an air traffic controller of course. It also looks like a cross between KITT from Knightrider and a prop from The Matrix, so who wouldn't want a sleek timepiece like this on their wrist? Instant cool, a quirky method and guaranteed to make looking at your watch something to look forward to.

I bought this for my 13 year old. He loves it. It is "cool" and looks great as well as being different. From my side he is improving his maths!!!
Very popular with all his friends too so suggest it to be an ideal gift.

An air of modern class

No other watch I have seen has such an enigmatic appeal, as soon as people catch a glimpse of this poking out from your cuff they can't help but take a second look. Once you are able to read this with ease you can be secure in your swarve appearance as other gaze on mystified, a wonderful watch. It can be challenging at first to read the face in the short time the numbers are illuminated but once you have a system you can be very smug indeed, in a classy way obviously.

Great gadget
Date: 18 February 2010
I bought this for a friend's 40th and he hasn't stopped raving about it. I had a good look at it and have added it to my birthday list. Good build quality, nicely finished and really different. No-longer is looking at the time a boring activity. Now it's a brain teaser. How quickly can you decipher the binary to work out the time?
Great gadget, highly recommended.

happy customer
Date: 14 January 2010
im very pleased with my new binary watch, as pointless gadgets go this is the best i have, of many.
looks stylish on even my daintyy feminine wrists but is also substantial enough to suit a fella.
sleek and sexy design makes me proud to show it off to the geeky men i work with.
delivery time was faster than a quad core processor ;)

Unique gift for techies
Date: 05 January 2010
Bought this as one of my husband's birthday presents. He's a (happy) computer programmer and LOVED this watch. It's not bulky at all, fairly slimline and elegant. The red LED numbers are not on all the time- they shine for a few seconds when you press a button, so it's not jarring. It's also incredibly easy to program the time (tip: make it a minute in advance as by the time you get to the right sequence of numbers the time's changed!). In all, if you want a unique gift for someone who would know and appreciate what binary means, this is a great idea!

Fantastic
Date: 30 December 2009
A brilliant purchase!
I was concerned that the watch itself would look very big, or be chunky on my wrist (I've got very small wrists, it must be said!). However, this is not the case - it's a very neat size, and pretty thin.
As one reviewer already said, you need to press any button (there are 2) to illuminate the numbers. When the watch is not displaying the time, it looks like an interesting wristband up close, and a regular watch from afar.
iWOOT says that it's an "OVO" watch - it is, however, branded "Fuss" on the watch and packaging instead.
All in all, very pleased. At a price under £20, I would recommend it to any geek!

bargain gadget for xmas
Date: 17 December 2009
Great Gadget, I wanted something unusual for my two children, other binary watches are at least £60! only took seconds to teach my two how to read the time, they happily show it off to everyone, who are bemused at first.
Fast delivery from IWOOT two, I would highly recommend these.

A good buy
Date: 17 December 2009
The watch is pretty well built and of a good size. Had quite a few comments from friends and colleagues, as I work in quite a technical field, they all got it and were intrigued.
After a while it gets easier just to read the time, noticing patterns and such like.
The only issues i have with it are...
The screen isn't illuminated unless you press a button on the side and by not illuminated i mean you can not tell the time at all, not it wont show up in the dark. I suppose this is an effort to save battery life and not draw attention to the watch but if your hands are full I'd rather just be able to see the time by twisting my wrist and surely you bought this watch to be noticed?
Only other problem I've faced is if you go out drinking with it. The time it takes to read it seems exponential to how much youve had to drink and it can get annoying when you get asked for the time by a smug friend.
But overall a very good buy. I'd recommendv it to a friend, its a bargain comparative to any of the others on the market.

Great gadget gift
Date: 17 December 2009
It was my 65th birthday yesterday and my wife knew that I`d love this binary watch. I am a gadget freak and a watch lover, and this is great. My mates are fascinated and it`s amazing how many of them cannot work out the time on it, not to mention how the old duffers have to admit that they need glasses in order to read the time.
Ladies buy it for your man!

I could not believe the delivery on this item. I ordered in the afternoon and by 10am the following day I was looking at this special watch in my living room.
Well done IWOOT team

It's not a binary display
Date: 29 November 2009
C'mon - it's not a binary display watch is it!! Binary would just be 0101010 - this clearly isn't!
Also when the website asks for a specific length nickname - it cant count!
