I’m gonna admit – I had no idea what “binary” meant when I came across these watches, so I decided to ask my ex-boyfriend, a brilliant but slightly-annoying-when-it-comes- to-making-everyone-feel -really-dumb computer engineer and finance dude…
Me: What does “binary” mean?
[My Ex]: Numbers in the base two numbering system
Me: Um i have no idea what that means
[My Ex]: It means a positional notation with a radix of 2
Me: Cut it out. grr.
According to the Chip Chick, binary watches are the modern day version of the calculator watch. Um, Ok that is really nerdy, but these Split Screen Fashion Watches by 01 THE ONE are kinda cute. There are three colorful designs to choose from and are water resistant up to 99 feet. They tell time on the binary timing system and have month and date functions as well.
PS they are limited editions – only 600 were made.
And I have to include this bit of info from the Chip Chick herself: “The SC113R1 and SC114R1 use red LEDs while the sc112b1 use blue LEDS.” (Hello, can you please speak English?? Or at least fashion girl English! Sheesh).
Price = $279 which is a little steep for me, but if you are married to or dating one of the Google guys, you may want to hit him up for one of these – STAT!
