Librarian Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 My wife gave me the Nixon "Dork" for my birthday a few years back. I didn't realise it said "Dork" on the hour until my boss was giving a team talk and when she said "any questions?" my watch replied "DORK". I read the manual after that to switch that particular function off. Swear to god absolutely true story. Oh yes the batteries last 2 months - the watch was incredibly inefficient about power useage. That's why I stopped wearing it. Nice unashamedly geek design though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
