Please Post Your Weirdest Watch
My Radio Shack CAT NO. 63-5046 edges-out all of my other watches as the weirdest I own. I bought it in the early 1990's at a Radio Shack in Rexburg, Idaho. If I could only demonstrate its talking feature on WatchCrunch, you would be clamoring to get one I'm sure. Please post the weirdest watch in your collection and share with us its origins.

Time dictates my linear path to its bitter end. My watches keep me one step ahead of time…and one foot out of the grave.

1970's Chaika Stadium. Soviet era automatic with quickset pusher bought from a Ukrainian seller before the war. The watchmaker has it now.
watch in the center is a 1970's bulova with broken led module..(in the plastic bag) I shoved a super mario touchscreen led module in there I got at wallmart the module is crooked a bit but you can adjust it and see time by just touching the face.. I dont know how it works through the Bulova crystal but it works. kinda fun to wear some times. the old automatic 1959 Bulova runs like 5 minutes fast/day.. still wear it some times .. my only two Bulovas. the module from supermario watch is round and thin and could possibly fit some old cases that just sitting around with not worth repairing movements. the pushers on the Bulova case prevented perfect alignment but decided to keep the water proofing by not messing with them.
I have three digital watches I consider a bit weird:
Citizen 59-1033
Bulova Computron
Armitron Griffy

That day window's in Cyrillic? The green is fantastic as well as that very utilitarian strap.

Yep, I think that it is Saturday. I have had to learn Russian day abbreviations.

It's on a Vario World Time strap.
I'd have to say either my Humism Dasein with the Kinetic display, or the eOne Bradley designed for the vision impaired, using the tactile feel of ball bearings to tell the time.
In the attached photos, the Humism is showing the time as 2:24 and the eOne is showing 1:50
That's so cool

the first one made my vision impaired!
besides the vostoks this is likely the weirdest
“NASA Apollo 11” tribute watch I got as a gift, the two planets are the minute and hour. Many of the ‘stars’ rotate on a complex second hand. Good luck figuring out the time!
Seven Friday P2-1 Industrial
At this point in time I don't own anything weird. Sold this one but really enjoyed it.

Wow, that's actually really intuitive!

Thanks mate, also not common but I find it very interesting
The Timex Jump hour. Timex made this when the digital watches were getting popular. At the time, they weren't equipped to make digital watches, so they actually made a manual wind jump hour and made it look like a digital watch. They even put the word digital on the face under the word Timex. LMAO!!

Oh man -- I'd take that any day over an LED. It takes the cake as the weirdest and coolest for sure!
I have two of these in storage somewhere
It’s a Swatch with Nicolas Hayek’s face. I bought them in 2010 when he died, cuz I’m weird like that.
Oh swatch Group CEO -- that's really cool!
One for my fellow Star Wars nerds:
The dial reads ‘Tatooine’ in Aurek Besh font. The dial is a capsule filled with sand from ‘Tatooine,’ (Tunisia lol) from the location of the Lars homestead set from Star Wars: A New Hope. The watch is a piece of junk, but it was only sold to 501st Legion members and has an engraved case back with my name and ‘TK’ number. I’m not active in the club anymore, but I keep this little reminder around. 😊
Oh I got this dumb thing in a Farscape dvd box set lol. It’s unusable. 😆
