My First Binary Watch

Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,

 

Whenever I wear this watch on The Gadget Show I get loads of emails. So, here it is. It’s made by a company called 01TheOne and it was my first binary watch.  It has even inspired me to write a binary watch code for Dot Robot Book 2!

A nice looking watch and something a bit different. I’d have to speed up my simple maths addition to be able to read the time quickly!

Top line of LED’s is the hour (add them together) bottom line is the minutes (again added together).

I can’t remember the last time I wore a watch. My mobile phone adopted its role I guess.

Hi Jason, are you allowed to tell us which gadgets you’re filming for at the moment?

Hi gang,

In answer to your questions. Yep, 3.39 is the correct time.

I’m currently filming for a one off special ‘race’ for The Gadget Show - Edinburgh to London which will go out on Five around Jan 20 2009 (I forget the exact transmission date).

Some of the gadgets tested: the world’s first portable 3D TV, Guitar Hero for the DS, Zeemote (a dinky thumb sized bluetooth joystick for mobile phone gaming) and various location-specific mobile games.

Alan - if you search the web, you should find all that exists for my DIY Heads-Up-Display.

How do you know if it’s PM or AM?

You’d need another digit for the hour.

I got one of these last time I was in camden. There really rather brilliant when people ask you the time and wonder how the hell you can read it.
…only thing is, my design dosnt have the numbers printed on, so its kinda trciky to tell if youve got the watch on upside down
