Is there truly any other better way to tell the time than to use analog and digital watches? Apparently not, but you can fault people for trying. After all, gimmicks are just the thing to push sales. The Lightmare Watch is the latest in line to tell the time using a bunch of tiny LEDs, ironically making you waste time as you try to figure out what time it is while the rest of the world moves on without you. According to the manufacturer, the Lightmare Watch has a quartet of LEDs at the center which represent the single minutes between each of the five-minute increments, while the two small dots at the bottom denote whether its AM or PM. I know of better ways to spend $149.95 in order to give your brain a workout, and have even some spare change left over. Brain Age, anyone?
