Yamanote_Line1.jpgWho says gadgets these days should be all about functionality? Straight from the land of Japan is an unusual watch some people wouldn't be caught dead in, but some would fight tooth and nail for. Inspired by the most important train line in Japan, the Yamanote Line (that connects the center of the city with all major train stations), is this line of watches by Seahope. No, they don't look like the train itself (although that will be amusing to see), but rather the electronic billboards on the train stations.

The Yamanote Line watches will be available in four different versions: Ebisu, Ikebukuro, Shinagawa, and Shinjuku; all of which are stations of the line. Aside from displaying the time and date on its extra-clear OLED display, the calendar will show you the train timetable of the versions' respective stations. All four will be available on either metal or leather straps for $231 and $212 respectively.
