Are there any cheap binary wristwatches worth getting?
I scoured the internet and amazon, and wasn't impressed with what I found.
I saw a lot that looked like this:
12 00
11 44
10 40
09 45
08 40
07 35
06 30
05 25
04 20 04
03 15 03
02 10 02
01 05 01
That's not binary! đ€Šââïž
Then I saw a single true binary watch, but look at how it was aligned:
# O # O
# O O # O #
Seriously? You had one job. đ
(It shows 10:37, but it could also be read as 40:37, based on how it's aligned)
Some others looked good, but they were like 100+ USD/EUR.
