The folks at Tokyoflash Japan are back with another of their animated watches. The Radar LED watch has the appearance of those sweeping screens on a radar or sonar screen.

Or time is at least “etched” on the face of this clock. The Etch Clock has a dark peacock-blue elastomer face that displays the time with numerals that appear to have been chiseled into its surface.

The title says it all… I’ve purchased both the Series 1 and Series 2 Apple Watches, taking them both back within Apple’s no-questions-asked return window.

I’ve posted on this before: I don’t (yet) own an Apple Watch.

When I was a kid, I would intentionally break old style glass thermometers just so I could play with the mercury inside them. I had no idea back then that mercury was toxic. I just loved watching the liquid metal separate into balls and then forms back into one blob when the individual pieces touched. With
