Does Not Illustrate: Gadget Watches

Sooooo... do the Doctor Who fans just expect everyone to automatically know what's so special about what just looks like an ordinary pocket watch?

Why not have a picture that clearly illustrates the ordinary item actually having a hidden function?

Something like these? [1]◊, [2]◊, [3].

Agreed

Bond's watch shooting a laser?◊ 2◊

I like the first. It can also easily be cropped.

Garrote Wire Watch◊

I like 3.1 too.

Then there's also Archer's Omicron Spymaster: [1]◊ [2]◊ [3]◊, featuring knock-out gas, a garrotte, and "I think even a laser".

The third of those or 3.1 are good for me.

Bump...crowner?

Considering I'm about to suggest two more things, sure we've got enough.

Gary and Gerti◊ from Spy Kids 2 have fantastic watches, but I can't find a clear shot of them.

This one is real◊ and sold by Thinkgeek.

Crowner

I added all the non-media examples too, collected at the end, just to be sure. I couldn't find a better image of the Spy Kids' watches either, so added that one.

Crowner's hooked.

Bond is clear, with the laser. Archer's poorly visible, others are very busy.

I like Archer too, but the Spy kids one doesn't look like a watch at all.

Pre-weekend bump for votes...three options in the green right now.

This one's ready to call. If someone will put the winning pic on the page, I'll take care of the rest. Thanks!

Added, tagged, and given basic pothole. Caption?

"Now with laser pointer (red)!"

"Who needs a Rolex when you've got this?"

EDIT: The Image Links page is done.

There's always the classic, "It also tells time."

With no consensus on a caption, let's lock up and move on.
