Do you remember this wonderful Faceless Watch from its internet debut back in April of this year? If you are Gadget Lab reader sp1nz, you certainly will, as you called it “awesome” in the comments. Likewise, should your handle be bloodyserb, your single word comment tells us everything: “WANT!” (no need to shout next time).
The watch was supposed to be available two months later, in June, and I actually checked back to find it still merely a swirling mist of vaporware. Now, though, you can buy one, and it’ll cost you a paltry $15.
The Faceless Watch is now called the Iron Samurai, although it still appears as a man-bracelet until you hit the button on the top and the LED numerals “light up like surfacing lava” (the digits are also described as “blood red” and “crimson” elsewhere on the product page, so you can take your pick.)
The watch gives both time and date, and that’s enough. Even if you don’t want one, it’s worth visiting the store page for the outrageous claims made for the watch, from celebrity owners (Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal and, erm, Brian Eno) to the device’s amazing effects on the owner (the watch will “increase its wearers’ strength, dexterity, constitution, intelligence, wisdom, and charisma by as much as 20 points each”).
