Something cool like that tron watch or something.

Can anyone recommend one?

So, I see the caterpillar has emerged from his cocoon...as a shark...with a gun for a mouth.

    Do you want it to do anything cool, do you want it to be durable as anything, or do you just want it to just look cool?

    This is my favorite, I have received compliments every single time I have worn it.

    I pretty much just want it to look cool. I sit at a desk all day so durability isn't a huge concern.

    If you have some serious money, then a U-Boat watch.

    ThinkGeek has a wide variety of watches, a neat Video watch, a blue touchscreen LED watch, a very cool starmap watch that loses a bit of the coolness with the price tag, and finally a retroish LED display watch.

    You should check out the watches from Nixon. http://www.nixonnow.com/mens-watches/

    If you are a big guy like me, the 51-30 pretty much defines badass.

    That Zoomr is pretty sweet looking as well.

    Do you want a flashy techy watch or an awesome watch that's got traditional hands and time telling capabilities?

    It is about looks or function?

    What's the price range?

    Looks over function. And I am looking to spend around 200$.

    That video watch is cool but won't work with my computer.

    There's always the iPod Nano watch, they sell those watchbands that clip in a nano, that may be interesting.

    I have this watch right here which ran me about $196. It's not available from Amazon anymore, obviously, but I still figured I'd suggest it or one similar. It's pretty sweet, and it goes great with my wallet.

    Looking at these very cool recommendations reminds me that my battery-free Molnija pocket watch is pretty much the exact opposite.

    ...I still like it.

    Seiko Kinetic!

    I have this watch. I love kinetics. I have a cheaper fossil that displays the winding mechanism, but it isn't nearly as nice as the Seiko.

    I see someone mentioned Tokyo Flash already. My wife bought me this watch from there a few years ago but I don't wear it anymore because the green lights don't work now. I wonder if I can take that to someone to fix...?

    edit: looking deeper into their site they say I might need a new battery. If that doesn't work then I can contact them and they'll let me know how to get it fixed.

    I've got a black Nixon Scout watch. The wrist strap is kinda wide, but I like it. It's pretty durable too, in case you like to go hiking or surfing.

    I've also got a black and white pair of these silly watches.
