While we have covered several different types of watches and clocks, with a few of those being rather simple to read, are a far cry from this latest freak show. The Measuring Tape Watch will force your eyes to do a full gymnastic routine just to get the current time. Hey, I’m not complaining as I’m up for a challenge at any time and this watch is cool as all get out. In case you were wondering, the big vertical line that is most prominent displays minutes with hours and seconds trailing underneath. It’s not svelte by any means either. Though, fashion isn’t meant to be functional now is it?

If you like mashup gadgets, that is gadgets that try to impress by blending in multiple technologies, the wooden speaker-clock will surely be added to your list of must have gadgets. These wooden speakers look pretty normal to the naked eye, that is until your fire them up and see the digital clock shining through the wood. While it isn’t a particularly hard task to achieve, seeing any kind of light shine through wood causes one to do a double take just because it isn’t that common.

The two models, the Evergreen DN-WSP1802 (two-speaker) and DNWSP1406 (single-speaker) wooden speakers both feature a 3.5mm audio connection giving your universal connectivity with pretty much any device with an audio output. Sadly, these little wonders are only available in Japan for now meaning you’ll have to pay a pretty nice shipping fee — possibly even more than the modest $25 price tag. Gadget love knows no bounds…

In the fast paced ever changing world of electronics, gadget nuts such as ourselves are always looking for the next big thing.  Some are just looking for the next “cool” thing to keep us entertained for a short time.  And some of us simply want to know the time.  Watches haven’t really undergone any major changes in decades.  Sure there were improvements in build quality, element resistance, and other minor things such as the use of LCD’s as the face background.  But what about a watch that didn’t have a face at all?

Again, this watch doesn’t bring anything huge or earth shattering to the table.  But what it does do is manage to be cool and so deserves to have its face (ummm….lack thereof) displayed for the world to see.  Designed by Hiranao Tsuboi, the LED watch previously revealed by Geeky-Gadgets was at that time last year, a concept.  However, Mr. Tsuboi has managed to move his concept to reality and is set to soon release the Faceless LED Watch to the masses.  As you can see above the watch eschews the typical face-in-the-middle design of pretty  much every watch to date, and instead moves the time keeping job to the wristband by way of LED lights.  Definitely a sweet idea.

I am definitely going to pick one of these up when they become available…Definitely!  Speaking of purchasing, you will soon be able to get the Faceless LED Watch from 100per.  Unfortunately, no pricing has been revealed yet, but does it really  matter…you’re going to get one anyway…right?
