I have a binary clock. They are really cool but take some time getting used to the new time format. They are gimicky. Your son might wear it a few times and decide it's too hard to use and drop it in a drawer.

thanks, but i still don't understand. it would be a good watch to shove in someone's face when they ask you the time.

You know what they say..

There are 10 kinds of people in the world...

People who understand binary and those who don't.

Way to much thought involved to tell the time.....is there a logical reason that I'm missing?

That's what he wants. I gave him my tag carrera automatic and he refused. I think he is a geek.
