digital btc watch

Hi everyone,

I’ve spent a lot of time engaging with Bitcoin over the past five years, and now I want to make my own contribution to the space. After consuming countless podcasts, books, and so on, I found myself going deeper and deeper down the "time" rabbit hole—exploring the nature of time and its fundamental importance in the financial world and our society at large (calendars).

Alongside my fascination with Bitcoin, I have a passion for watches, and I’d like to combine the two. I want to create the first digital Bitcoin wristwatch. I’d like to base the design on the Casio A168WA. It would display the block height, the time until the next block, and the current epoch.

My question for you all is: would you wear or buy a watch like this? Or am I the only one? Thanks!

EDIT 1:

Thanks for the feedback—that’s awesome! To be honest, I thought I’d get completely torn apart here, but it looks like there are actually a few people interested.

So, I’d like to go into a bit more detail and address your objections and questions :)

In my post, I mentioned that I wanted to base the design on the Casio A168W. That’s only half the story, though; I actually want to model the design after the Omega Equinoxe. In other words, a "Reverso"-style watch: a simple yet elegant analog dial on the front, and a display on the back showing the block height, epoch, and other details. (Since I’m right at the beginning of this idea, I mentioned the Casio because I already have some concepts for how I could "quickly" build a watch like that for myself.)

To clarify how the Casio would work: it would naturally display the standard time, but you could switch between the different display modes by pressing the bezel.

Regarding the design, I wouldn't put a Bitcoin symbol on it; the watch should be something like a gadget—or ideally, an artifact—for Bitcoiners. It should be wearable without being immediately recognizable to the uninitiated—sort of a "quiet luxury" vibe.

Another idea, to align with the general Bitcoin ethos, was to sell the watch for a fixed BTC price that never changes. This way, early adopters benefit... plus, it would allow the purchase block to be permanently stored on the watch and retrieved later. (I know this borders on a "measuring contest," but I’d think it was cool to see exactly when the watch was bought—and having proof of ownership is common in the watch community, something the blockchain handles perfectly.)

First and foremost, though, I’d aim to build an MVP; these are just general ideas I’d love to get feedback on—including, or especially, negative feedback! Thanks, guys! :D
