More subtle than an anime tattoo and classier than a [gaming t-shirt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-x-anicorn), the Click Watches help you embellish the computer-crazed nerd within. What makes their technical design so much more appealing is the addition of [old school DIP switches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ca500webf), used to change modes and modify the time. The timekeepers come in several versions, offering customers the choice between a [stainless steel band](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-crw0011jr) and a digitized elastic one. At $150, however, it becomes clear that the Click Watch is aimed at the geekiest of the geeks. So, you have to ask yourself, "are you feeling nerdy today?" ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Nerd Chic Timepieces:** Designing timepieces that cater to the nerd community with added technical features. - **Retro Technical Design:** Developing products with old-school technical design such as DIP switches, in order to appeal to a specific target market. - **Digitized Wristbands:** Integrating digital wristbands as a fashionable and convenient accessory for a technical product. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Exploring how the fashion industry can tap into very niche markets like the nerd community through product design and branding. - **Consumer Electronics:** Identifying how this trend can be applied in the development of new kinds of niche wearable devices with unique feature sets. - **Jewelry:** Discovering new ways to integrate technology and add unique features to products in the jewelry industry, to appeal to a new generation of tech-savvy customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multiple Dice-Inspired Digital Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/d20-digital-watch.md) - [Nostalgic Gaming Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-gaming-watch.md) - [Retro Video Game Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-x-pacman.md) - [Retro Gaming Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-invaders-my-play-watch.md) - [Gaming Wearable Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetris-watch.md) - [Angular Automobile-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benly-design-s3000-cyber-watch.md) - [Nostalgic Gaming Timepiece Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nubeo-ventana-atari-edition-watch.md) - [Collaboration Gaming Console Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anicorn-x-sega-megadrivegenesis.md) - [Gaming Console Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microsoft-xbox-x-meister-watches.md)
