5. Iron Samurai Watch

The Iron Samurai watch, a spectacularly ugly bracelet-style watch made from “Samurai sword carbonized steel folded 1000x over,” is available from Chinavision for a questionable $15. The watch hides red LEDs inside the pattern of the bracelet, which is kind of cool in theory but dorktacular in practice. It also comes with one of the weirdest/funniest product descriptions I’ve ever seen:
The Iron Samurai has been known to increase its wearers’ strength, dexterity, constitution, intelligence, wisdom, and charisma by as much as 20 points each! Chuck Norris and Steven Seagal are said to be Iron Samurai owners, as is David Bowie and Brian Eno. In reality, this watch is perfect for Presidential dinner crashers, Facebook celebs with over 1000 fans, Youtube directors with over 2,000,000 views, anyone who can play the entirety of Neil Zaza’s I’m Alright on electric guitar, iPhone 3Gs owners, or anybody who is a somebody.

4. Vanity Mirror Watch

Dude, does a hair on your head dare to be out of place? Ladies, does your make-up need a little fixing? Did you simply just forget how incredibly good you look? With this mirror conveniently on your wrist, if you need to interrupt your preening sessions to check the time for your next haircut appointment, you can do so with the press of a button – you’ll instantly see the bright red LED display, but only for a moment so you can get back to gazing into those gorgeous eyes. Sigh! Soooo dreamy.
3. Tread 1

A company called Devon has just announced their debut model wrist-watch called the Tread 1. It’s not so much weird as it is uber cool. Standing true to its name, the Tread 1 uses a treadmill-like system with belts that are woven together and have separate motors. The time is highlighted as the numbers feature inside a cut out shape while they’re rotating on the mini treadmill. The watch is made from bulletproof polycarbonate which means it’d be perfect if you were a spy or someone who gets shot at a lot. And if you’re getting shot at you’re probably very important and if you’re very important you probably have a lot of money ergo this watch won’t be very expensive for you as it’s priced at $15,000.
2. Green Geek Power Watch

Ready to take to the skies and fight crime with nigh limitless super hero alien powers? Well, this watch won’t help you there. But, if you want to feel like you’re ready to take on the world’s super villains with a watch that looks like it hurtled through space for centuries and just fell through the sky, check out this Green Geek Power Watch, for sale now! The glowing green lights from this out-of-this-world watch shine like beacons, impressing everyone around you, who will be amazed at the willpower it takes to wear such a unique, cool watch, and best yet, yellow has no affect on its powers of good….or evil.
1. Space Invaders Watch

Two versions of the watch are being made, one for day (the full color one), and one for night (with glowing ‘Superluminova’ invaders). At as little as $10k a piece, why not buy both? Each Space Invaders watch is being made in a very limited run of just 78 pieces. Even so, if you do the math on that, once they sell out, Romain Jerome and TAITO stand to pocket a tidy sum $1,560,000. Not a bad days work for the Space Invaders, eh?
