That watch is weird – I’m Brian Fellow! The TX54 took runner up in the Timex 2154 Future of Time competition. It’s a concept piece billed as “a disposable timepiece that is worn on the user’s thumbnail. While its translucency makes it blend seamlessly with the hand, a selection of text color options and a glow feature that activates on command make it easy to read.” It appears that you use the end of the nail to cycle through options and modes while the time is displayed on the main part of the nail.
It’s kind of a cool idea, no? If it’s supposed to be disposable, too, then it probably wouldn’t cost all that much. Would you buy one?

I would, except that my thumbs look like they’ve been smashed with a hammer one too many times. I have a hard time believing that they’d make one of these that fits my distorted appendages.
Is the time on that thumbnail a coincidence?
Uh…no.
That would be pretty cool, maybe one finger for time, then date, month, year, etc.
What would be way cooler is a HUD built into a pair of contacts or glasses that people can use for this plus many more types of apps.
I would buy a pack of them stick them on all my fingers and then turn off all the lights and type at a blinding 120 words per minute while the date and time flashed like a mini fingertip disco…
Ok no I wouldn’t but I would buy one because that’s just cool. Can I get one with GPS too?
a *disposable* timepiece? that’s just ridiculous.
And I’m not even going to comment on the practicality of a thumbnail display.
i would totally buy one
