I'm still unsure whether the Tick Mark wristwatch is up my alley, but I'm not going to say it isn't mechanically cool. The watch comes with a very cyborg-like design covered by a blue and silver finish (I would directly associate those two colors with a cyborg…seriously).
The display is a little confusing at first, but for all the tech-savvy individuals it should be a piece of cake to figure out. Red lights highlight all the hours up to the current one on the left side and a second set of red light indicators highlight the minutes (divided into increments of 10 at the top and then increments of 1 underneath) up to the current one.
I know it all sounds confusing, but if you take the time to get a feel for it, then it can actually be digitally delightful.
