Who watches the actual watchmen?
When: 2010
What: The Timex Nail Watch
WTF: Unless you’re Guy Pearce in Memento—and face it, you’re not—your body is not a handy reference guide. So slap on one of these disposable marvels of engineering, sit back, and wait for the inevitable thumb cancer.
Why start a movement to bring back the sundial: As much as we’d all love to see a chronic nail-biter end up with a stomachful of ultra-thin LCD battery, is the cool factor here really worth not being able to wash your hands? Of course it is. Is a naked wrist preferable to the ability to scratch yourself without damaging an expensive status symbol? Obviously. Does that thing even get Twitter on it? No? Finally, a design flaw.
Prediction: Flava Flav starts wearing giant gold fingernail necklaces.
