Kickstart This Awesome ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK Smartwatch
I don't normally write about Kickstarter projects here at GeekTyrant, but I stumbled across one today that was so cool, I had to break my personal rule and write about it anyway.
Remember the wrist timer that Kurt Russell's Snake Plissken is forced to wear in John Carpenter's Escape From New York? The Awesomer pointed out that Ridgewood Watch Company is trying to crowd fund an officially licensed timer that looks just like that one, and they've added a ton of badass features to it to make it much more than just a countdown clock on your wrist. This thing is a full-on smartwatch that will tell you the time, date, weather, count your steps, and it also has Bluetooth connectivity so you can link it to your phone.
Check out the fantastically-produced video below, and click here to donate if you're interested. What a cool idea.
