Cathode Corner Nixie Tube Watch Review ⭐ Awesome Retro Tech Gift 🆗
Are you looking for a retro tech gift for that geeky special someone? Maybe a gift for yourself? I recently stumbled upon a very special item that cannot be found in any store. I actually came across the item by accident, but was pleasantly surprised at what I had found.
The Nixie tube watch is a combination of new and old technology. The designer has found a way to use old Nixie tubes and place them inside a watch case to make a very cool watch. Nixie tubes were used in calculators during the 1960s, but were quickly replaced by the cheaper LCD displays that were introduced soon after. Nixie tubes quickly became a forgotten technology of the past.
The watch contains two of these tubes to show digits at once. To view the time you simply set the watch to flash the time when you move your wrist to a certain angle. There are two very small buttons inside the watch so you can set the time, set it to 12 or 24 hour mode, and set the viewing angle. The case is made of black anodized aluminum (no choice of colors) and a black leather strap is included. The battery is a large CR2 battery (Commonly used in cameras). To access the battery and buttons, you simply unscrew the top of the case, no tools are required and no worry about losing any small screws.
This watch is not for everyone though. This thing is a beast at about 2 or 3 times the size of a normal watch. For something that only tells time it boasts a hefty price tag, coming to be at $410 (Shipping Included). Also the watch is only available for a certain period of time during the year, you must then wait to the next production to purchase one. If you don't want anyone to know you're a geek, then this is not for you. This watch will get noticed, and you will be asked questions about it. It is a very nice conversation piece.
Personally, I love this watch. I did not fully comprehend how monstrous this thing is until I had received it.
The size was a bit of a turn off for me a t first, but I quickly became accustomed to it. The watch was quickly noticed at work and everyone wanted to see it. The geeky retro tech qualities of the watch also intrigued me, as I am a fan of retro tech and steam-punk items. If you're looking for something to set you apart from the rest, this watch will certainly do it as it is a one-of-a-kind item.
More information about the watch can be found at the maker's website at cathodecorner.com
Pros:
- One-of-a-kind
- Cool Retro tech
- Big easy to read numbers
- There will be no hiding your geekiness with this watch (also a pro? :-)).
Cons:
- Huge size can be cumbersome.
- Can be hard to read in bright sunlight
- Hefty price tag

The Most Essential Watches for Men ⌚ How to Build Your Watch Collection? ⭐
How to Build Your Watch Collection?
What kind of watches should a man have in his collection? It's an old question. There is one place every man can express his personal sense of style: the wrist watch. I have been collecting watches for years. I now have nearly hundred watches in my collection. In truth, that is far to many watches for any mere mortal, but I enjoy wearing a different watch almost every day. There are only a few types of watch that are essential for any man.
Types of Watches. If you are building a watch collection, you don't need a hundred watches. A half-dozen watches should suffice to cover most occasions. All you really need is a nice dress watch, a business casual watch, a fashion watch or two, a sport watch, and a "bang around" watch. A watch in each of these categories would cover you for job interviews, office work, evenings out, sporting occasions, and hard manual labor. From this foundation, you could build out your collection to match specific suits or specific manly pursuits.
Dress Watches. Do you have a nice watch that you wear to job interviews, black-tie functions, funerals, and church? You probably should get something that is functional, well-made, under-stated and fits under the cuff of a dress shirt. When it comes to dress watches, brand matters. You don't want something that will make you look cheap in your best suit. It would be great to wear a Rolex Perpetual Oyster Datejust. The 36 millimeter dial is the perfect size and it looks sharp. But, in the real middle class world, brands like Pulsar, Seiko, and Bulova have some great choices in a $50 to $150 range. In my collection, I have two Pulsars, a Bulova, and a Seiko that fit the bill. The key is to look competent, understated, and professional. A job interview or funeral isn't the place for a big honking watch with a 57 millimeter diameter case.
Business Casual Watch. Once you've got the job, you can probably switch to business casual attire. You can wear all kinds of watches to the office and that is part of the fun of having a big watch collection. However, some watches just look great with khakis and a collared shirt. For business casual wear, I like watches with leather straps. My AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane has an interesting multipurpose dial in dark green and a rich brown leather strap. Similarly I have a Fossil Decker watch with chronometer markings, a stainless steel case with a vintage bronze tone, and a brown leather strap. Both of these watches have a rich, professional, look and don't break the bank. You can express yourself with a business casual watch, but I generally don't get too radical.
Fashion Watch. For fun with radical watch design, I'd look for exciting watches to wear to social events. A big watch from a brand like Diesel or Invicta would totally work when you want to draw attention in a crowd. The Diesel Men's Advanced Black Watch has a big 52 millimeter diameter case and an bold urban feel. The Invicta Stainless Steel Grand Diver gives you the look of a traditional dive watch in a big 49 millimeter case. Each of these watches is an affordable accessory that gets noticed.
Sport Watch. If you try to get out and get some exercise, then you'll want a watch that supports your sports goals. For example, if you are a runner or a swimmer, you may want something like digital Timex Ironman Traditional 30-Lap Strap Watch. If you are into rugged sports like paintball or rock climbing, a trendy analog or digital Casio G Shock may provide the armor you need for tough impacts.
Bang Around Watch. Finally, everyone has manual labor to do from time to time. It doesn't make any sense to mow your lawn, paint your house, or fix your car while wearing an expensive watch. There are lots of inexpensive watches for less than $30 that keep perfectly good time and aren't a big loss if they get scratched or damaged.
Once you have a basic watch collection in place, it can serve you for years or you can expand it over time. While some may think that cell phones tell time just fine, they are really missing out. Men have never had more choices in affordable wrist wear. Ideeas and text by L. Spain from former Yahoo! Contributors Network (many years ago).
