Star Wars Watches

It's only been the last couple of years that I've started to wear a watch. I was given one a few years ago as an anniversary present, which I then lost within the year. I got so use to wearing it, that when it was gone, it drove me absolutely crazy until I finally went out and got a new one.

It's pink and silver and quite awesome, but if I had known there would be Star Wars watches coming out, I may have waited a little longer. Clearly, these new watches Seiko, due out Oct. 12th, are made for men, but when has that ever stopped me before?

Just take a look at their awesomeness!

 Some of the features that I really like out these watches, start with the little details. Things like the second hand of the jedi/sith watches looking like their lightsabers,

 The emblazoned character pictures overlaying the details inside,

 

the fact that each watch has the characters name in Aurebesh.

Also, the R2-D2 watch uses EPD e-ink to bring up scenes from the movies! How cool is that?

Ok, so with prices that high, I think I made the right choice of buying my pink and silver watch, but hey, a girl can dream. Who knows, maybe one day they'll make awesome, affordable Star Wars watches for girls? Yeah, I know, I'll be dreaming of that for a long time yet.

Thanks to aBlogToRead for all the great info, considering everything else I saw was in Japanese and Adam for sending me the link in the first place.
