I'm getting one ... sure, it's international shipping, but it's geek chic :)

edit: this one would be even better, but it's somewhat more expensive!

Oh man! Cazabam, the time runs backwards! ROTFL

Man I'd spend 20 minutes trying to figure out what my watch is telling me!

It doesn't look like it would be too difficult to read, no more so than a Muvado or some other odd watch face design. I'd love to own one. It even looks nice, unlike the other (IMHO) but the price is too high.

That backwards watch is way too confusing. I'd never get the time right.

I found one of the backwards ones for $90 and I'm considering buying it. Mostly for the backwards working of it and decent design rather than the Apple logo. It'll probably be a great collector item someday.

Unfortunately since I only use pocket watches this one got by me. I contacted the seller but he did not have any pocket watches. Sure is a nice looking watch though. What started the backwards feature?? I looked at a close up and it looks like a regular watch to me - unless I missed something - which is not unknown for me!

I bought it for the old fashioned "Rainbow" Apple logo. I miss it, its the logo that still says APPLE to me instead of that bloodless white fruit.

I never understood the reason they bled the colors out of the logo, probably some marketer scared of loosing shares to homophobia.

they charge next to nothing for the watch, but get you on shipping because the seller is trying to limit his listing fee and final cost fee. The final cost fee does not include shipping.

Hhmm I wonder if they started selling windows watches, what they will be like. Maybe an automatic crash every 10 minutes, so you go to look at your phone and you never know what the time is? Or maybe even a virus which tells the wrong time to you, who knows!

As far as I know backwards clocks were most popular in barber shops: customers could look in the mirror to see what time it is. Other than the need to see time in a mirror, I don't know why a backwards clock would be needed, exept as a novelty like this.

It looks like the picture but its very light and thin. I was worried it wouldn't wear well, but its been great.

And thanks to the low profile it isn't getting all hacked up like they usually do.
