Time At Your Fingertips

It may be a bit redundant with my implanted cell phone and my bionic contact lenses but I still want this tiny future tech:
The runner-up at the global watch design competition "Timex2154: The future of time" held by Timex and Core77, is a stunner that promises to fundamentally change the way watches are worn and used. TX54 is a concept for a translucent watch that can be worn on your . . . thumbnail. Add to that a lovely indiglo display with color options for the displayed text, and the translucent feature that allows the watch to blend completely into your nail unless it is "activated". A deadly combination of fashion and functionality, if you please.

  1. Given Timex watches reputation for durability and their slogan of "it takes a licking and keeps on ticking", would that still apply if you had your thumb up your ass?

  2. I'm sure Fossil is already working on a kinetic version.

  3. And the phrase "it takes a lickin'" takes on a whole new meaning...

  4. I want one for each nail at least for the hands. Maybe for my feet. All different colors as well. Are they water proof.
