Mens or Ladies it is a cheap, tacky, horrible, mass produced modern watch IMO.

Better to save up for a real 70s LED, than to buy this junk.

Maybe the seller has listed it as unisex thinking it will increase the number of potential customers, OR they are aiming for the niche ladyboy market

The wife calls those unisex pieces "CK1s"(Calvin Klien). I've actually got a group of different pieces like that - anyone got a catchy phrase to say small mans/big women's?

I agree - hideous piece of crap that one!

ah, puke.

you'd have to be a spacktard to wear one.

Again, I learnt a new word Only 1780 Google hits, must be quite new.

The watch should be called "non-sex" - you'll never have sex if you try to impress the other gender with that watch.

It's hard to believe that someone actually thought making a watch like this was a good idea.

- Icon window enlarged...no more "show more icons". Service with a
Political correctness would make that "any gender" .

Remember back when some fool thought the "Inverta" was a good idea? That kind of poor judgement knows no limits... At least, this monstrosity actually made it to production.

Actually Bruce, after talking with Mr.Klien, working up some drawing for some tooling to do a detail of the band and seeing some nice, clear pictures of the Inverta in the flesh, it appeared to me that the Inverta will be, if brought to production and sale to the public, a truly beautiful and feature rich watch. The only LED watch with a thick, solid synthetic Saphire crystal(unlike the laminated ones on the Pulsar, which are prone to delaminating and then losing the back painted logo). A backup battery so you don't lose settings, a battery strength indicator and a host of other cool features. It's thin but not wimpy thin, manly sized but not cumbersome.

Mr.Klien can't come here to defend his product as he and I have, thru a mutual if not tenuous "agreement", agreed not to cross paths in any sense. I realize there is bad history between the two of you - out of a sense of fairness let him be and see what time brings. Im thinking that considering the economy he is prudent to keep his money as liquid as possible. If he never brings his watch to fruition HE will have to live with that. I'm not telling you what to do, I'm not going to touch your post - at a karma level he probably, IMO, deserved a swift kick from you.

Notwithstanding any of that: His site www.oldpulsars.com remains the #1 destination for Pulsar information and I am personally grateful that he has gone to so much personal effort, to present so much information to the public, with little to no finacial gain to be had. I can think of no comparable gift to the world of digital watch collecting when considering the scope AND longevity of his site.

I fully anticipate one or more member is going to rip you a new arsehole over this. Guess I should get some rest so I can appropriatly referee the action.

Rember back when some fool thought the "Inverta" was a good idea? That kind of poor judgement knows no limits... At least, this monstrosity actually made it to production.

That comment ouf yours was at least superfluous , IMHO.
I had some correspondence with Mr. Klein about certain technical aspects of the watch and can tell there are some very nice ideas in it. The design is another matter - a matter of taste, as usual. In the respective threads I've told my opinion about it.
I guess he has come to a realistic estimation about the size of market at the price he'd have to charge - and put the project on hold.
I will not comment this matter any further.
