Having avoided Storm watches like the plague, this new watch from Hammacher Schlemmer has tempted me to the dark side.
I actually like the black screen watch, which remains totally black until you need to tell the time which avoids the pesky issue of having to design a really cool-looking watch face.
It only displays the time and date in digital format (in LEDs) when you press the button.
Brilliant bad arse watch, I love it.
