not to anyone who actually lived in the 80's, no. and although they might make for a nice, albeit anachronistic, accessory for that getup, none of the colors are truly eye-assaulting enough to pass for authentic 80's fashion.

keep an eye out for 4" dayglo pumps on an upcoming woot, and you'll be good to go.

Just Wooted 3. I'm getting these to wear in place of the cancer bracelets I already wear. Pink & yellow for support & white just 'cause it's pretty. Bonus that it is also a watch & since I wear my watch on my left hand & the bracelets on my right, I will have 2 watches at all times. Just hope my brain doesn't get confused when someone asks me what time it is & I end up doing a Linda Blair.

Nothing notable in the last 21 years of history related to the watch. So then I visited my local museum, and there it was. A wristwatch. So, I took a picture with my Blackberry, and posted it to my Facebook page. Then I used my Android to call my friends and tell them about this wonderful historical artifact being sold on woot! today.

OMGOMGOMGPONIESOMG You just cracked me up! SO TRUE/SO FUNNY!

Watches are cheaply made. My brother got a pack of five last time and only 2 of the 5 could change time. Luckily, the watch piece can come out and you can switch them from band to band.

Or just paint the inside piece metallic silver and tell everyone its one of those balance bracelets.

My girlfriend is allergic to nickel so these, without the metal backing, provide a wonderful alternative to the traditional watch. I bought three.

can I buy more than three? I don't see an option for selecting one of each.

Why is the tin facing the wrong way for the white watch? This bugs me.

Not unless you make multiple accounts with different credit cards.

But if you do that, you have to pay for shipping on each account.

I bought the five pack several weeks ago; piece of crap. At least 2 of them don't work. DON'T BUY

Why don't you talk to service@woot.com instead of complaining here?

I keep a drawer full of these things. They are great. I just grab one as I run out the door to the gym, swimming pool, park, wherever. They are pretty durable, and they're so cheap that if one does get destroyed, oh well. They don't get hung on anything, and they're comfortable. Great buy.

I got the 5 pack a last time and they are great, 1 didnt work but Woot sent me 2 new one's to replace it! I Use them for work mainly cuz i dont wanna mess up a nice watch.

Umm..No sorry

carolharry wrote:ummm...so if you order more than one they have to be the same color? what's up with that? I'd like to buy several for my stocking stuffer stash but I don't want them all the same color! HELP!

Nope, you choose the color and size for each of them individually. Just choose the "I want three" option on the left of your order information screen and three size/color options will pop up under that.

Lolx100 don't judge me lol

The tins seem to be in greater demand than the watches. Anyone know how big they are?

In for 3, on a Woot Roll!

Hey! No fair. They only replaced mine 1 for 1!!!! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

For a slightly more boring picture than the one above:



Edit: Smaller pic also...

Not going to lie, I wear my watches in the shower (even though the directions advise against it!) I also wore mine to a water park and it did fine as well...

agreed. all mine work. passed them out to a group of friends and went swimming wearing them. They all still work. easy to set for someone with half a brain, honestly they have 2 buttons

Learn something new every day -whether you want to or not? After all these years, only now -slap forehead- do I realize I can't order some for peeples here where I am situated & then NOT be allowed to order a few for my peeples over there in Virginia.

The ceiling of "3" is so patently obvious yet how long it took me to learn it! Makes me want to lie down -with a cold compress on my forehead (after slapping it so)- and reassess all that I think I know of this world -that I so clearly am stumbumbling through.

Anyhow, sincere gratitudinals and such for all that is Woot and does Woot.

When I purchased these last, one out of the five was DOA and the one I had decided to wear for that week gave me a rash. But you really can't beat that price.

They're about 2 and 1/2 inches.

Nope. Not even close.

Okay, obviously I get the humor and your point.

But some one with 3 different devices (an iphone, a blackberry, and android) is a lot dumber than a person with a watch.

you fail.

yes, i looked at another website and they said that they are water resistant up to 10 meters underwater

WOW, has there ever been a woot priced this low lasting this long?

These are GREAT for the water park or the beach!

That's the truth! What do these kids know about Don Johnson and Max Headroom?

HA! I'm writing this from my iPad, and I'll read it later from my Xoom. Maybe if I get bored, I'll check in later tonight from my Omnia... LMAO.... How many phones have you owned in the last 21 years?

I guess I'm just not as cool as you. Which of your plethora of devices are you reading this one on? The one the one that wastes money? The one that wastes time? Or the one that turned you into an a-hole?

Now, I'm a bit of an introvert myself, but you obviously have a very strange preference for/ dependence upon technology that might border on unhealthy.

You should think about maybe having a conversation with a real person once in a while.

Phones in the past 21 years? That's going back a bit. And yes, I had a pager back in the day. I really hope that "21 years" was a typo. If you really think that widespread cell phone usage was around 21 years ago, you are quite mistaken. Back in 1990? Nope.

But seriously, this is a dumb thing to argue about. But to make the point, I just don't understand why any one would pay for redundant service on 3 devices that are all essentially the same thing. I mean, I have a desktop pc in my office, a laptop for whatever, my phone that I can go online with, my blu-ray play that I stream netflix, amazon, pandora, etc, etc, etc....

But unless you need them for professional reasons, why would you have an iphone, a blackberry, and an android? ...at the same time?

That's like saying, "Let's order a pizza tonight. We only need one pizza, but I'll call and order from Pizza Hut AND Domino's."

okay, where is the "I want one" button? why can't I buy this?

No need to get bent out of shape. No harm meant. I don't actually own all those devices. It was meant purely in jest, although there probably is someone who owns them...just like there's someone who owns 15 colors of these watches.

sorry. You are correct. It was late, I had a couple drinks, and I took it too far.

any delays of shipping?

osizzle wrote:any delays of shipping?

No, it has only been 2 shipping days and often times woot likes to wait to the last shipping day, being this Friday. I know bummer, which means you won't get your watches till the following friday the 12th or Monday the 15th.

Still not shipped?!?

Nope, mine either.

Yep, not shipped here either.

On a side note, I laugh whenever people say "who needs a watch?". They're for fashion... sometimes, just adding a watch (not these though) to business attire makes you look better to women. And who wants to pull out their phone in a torrential downpour to see the time? And if you're out hiking or running, sometimes you don't want to take your phone. Or if you're out swimming, no phones there. Besides, a watch is faster to read the time.

Or if you've got your rifle aimed at a zombie or Need more history channel. you can't afford to pull out your phone... just sayin!

this was my first woot, so i'm curious as to how long it usually takes them to ship the product. i know it says 5 business days, but it's been 5 business days since i ordered the product and i don't have a tracking number or anything i'm getting discouraged...
