No To Nooka
The weather’s been utterly and horribly hot.
It makes the best of us wilt like soggy cabbages that someone forgot to put in the fridge. My brains are addled, my eyes are on half-mast all day and I just feel like saying ‘No’ to everything.
Especially to Nooka.
Just discovered this funky brand of watch today during a day out with the sistahs. At a glance, the watches looked cool. Futuristic, even.
But further inspection revealed that while the watches look good, they certainly make telling time a painful task. Just take a look at these babies:
Nooka - Making simple things like telling time, harder
I mean, look at them! I suspect those rocket-scientist wannabes may think this is the best thing invented since sliced bread. For plain ol’ me, just the thought of squinting under the bright sunlight and making sense of the dots and line lengths to decipher time makes me want to either weep in despair or tear my hair out in frustration.
Telling time should be a simple, no-brainer task. Not something like Nooka in a baking hot country like Malaysia.
Still, if I do ever get a Nooka watch (a pretty remote possibility but hey, they are not as pricey as they seem to be!) and if someone asks me for the time, I’ll just shove my wrist in front of their faces and let them decipher it themselves. That way, I’ll still look cool and not have to tax my melted brain matter. Heh.

I don’t get these watches myself – so annoying trying to tell time on those :P
Exactly! Gimme a Baby G or Swatch anytime :)
I’ve got a friend with 30 swatches!! :)
Not sure how the time is read on those you posted. My cheap Casio watches have outlasted the wristbands they came with every time!
…not sure what kind of fashion statement I make, though!:D
I’d have run out of time, and patience by the time it takes to read time on these thingamagic!
Jimmeh – Casio still rawks – they are timeless :)
Twinnie – Calit! Rather counterproductive :P
me no likey either :P
Hmm..thought you had disappeared from this earth already and abandoned your blog. These watches look a bit on the plasticky and cheap side though.
But it’s an interesting idea though. just that the above readers are all prob Gen X folks. Just wait and they might appear on Gen Z.
Hath: Haha, you Gen X, too – according to kwipex :)
Kwipex: Nah, I’m still alive and kicking. Nooka’s kinda funky like Swatch – but with additional unnecessary complexity. If Nooka’s a trend setter, I shudder to think what Gen Z’s watches may bring.
lurve the new layout…..
Steffi: 30 Swatches?? Mamma mia… One for every day ar? :P
Hath: Thanks, dearie. I love things simple and uncomplicated :)
