So, it’s $80 for a wristwatch that doesn’t convey any information. How much for no wristwatch at all? Or if I have to ask, does that mean I can’t afford it?

My son found a watch band with the ring of the watch still there (I don’t know what it’s called) but no watch piece when he was in high school. He wore it for a few days and if anyone asked him the time, he’d say “time for me to buy a new watch”. Too bad he didn’t think of selling it for $79.

Only $79? That kind of minimalism should cost at least $800.

That kind of Sundial requires being on a level surface and being oriented correctly towards the South, that is, it’s useless without a level and a compass. However there are portable sundials that do not require a compass, including ring dials and universal equinoctial ring dials. There are also some that can be drawn out and used on a piece of card stock, such as the Capuchin sundial.

This is perfect for people who want to get into arguments with strangers.
Excuse me, do you know what time it it?
Sorry, I don’t.
But I can see you’re wearing a wristwatch, I don’t mean to trouble you, but it would really help me out to know what time it is.
Sorry, It’s not a real watch. It’s a bracelet that looks like a watch because I want to make some principled statement to the world, that we’re too busy keeping up with each other to slow down and just enjoy life.
Well, that’s stupid.
Yea, I guess so. Seemed like a good idea when I read about it online.

I’m not quite sure what I should have expected on seeing the title. 
But I’m guessing it was more like a sundial watch that incorporated one of those spherical compasses so it would be reasonably accurate without having to break out a spirit level every time you wanted to read the time.
Although a sundial watch with a pair of spirit levels and a … single plane compass would do the trick with less wasted space I guess?
I didn’t catch the date when I went to their page. Good catch, @dtrmcr.
I’ve been meaning to build a “watch” that doesn’t have a display or controls. It just buzzes at time intervals. Maybe in morse code though I’m not sold on that idea particularly. I have most of what I need to build a prototype (vibration motor, battery powered clock thingy, adafruit gemma … though without controls, I’d need at least one more piece to set the time in the first place) except not the time and energy right now.
(I guess I could fake it by programming something for my pebble time round but it would still require time and energy.)
Yeah, but how much did you pay for your “ultra-minimalist” watch? Surely more than the cheap $79?
I can picture the smug douche who’d pay $79 for this thing, so he can wear it in public and wait for someone to ask about it. In my mind, he has a gray ponytail and wire-frame glasses. He also drives a Leaf.

Me and my big mouth.
Maybe I’ll buy one of those games out of a gumball machine and duct tape it to my wrist.

It seems to me that everything always collapses, but people don’t always choose to notice. Like how a person might talk about “falling” whilst glossing over the current effects of gravitation upon them. If they aren’t floating away, they are still falling.
