Sure, your arm will weigh ten pounds more than normal, but it’ll give you some good definition in those forearm muscles when you wear one of these watches for long enough. (And yeah, I thought some of these looked like torture devices from one of those Saw movies)
But overall I thought these were some nifty watches. See if you can disagree.

It would be worth wearing one of these just to see the expression on people’s faces when they asked you for the time and you rolled up a sleeve to reveal one of these suckers. Of course, it might prove difficult getting one through security at the airport, but I’m sure all you’d have to tell them is you’re a science fiction/fantasy writer and they’d give you a free pass. It works like that, right?
I see that smile.
