Nixie Watch gets first redesign in more than 10 years

May 2024 · 1 minute read

The original round Nixie Watch made famous by Steve Wozniak is now available in a thinner, rechargeable, square design. Like its predecessor, the Square Nixie Watch features two Nixie tubes, a vintage technology that displays orange glowing numbers on bent pieces of metal suspended in gas. And like the original, it's still a litmus test for nerds: you either love it or you hate it, there is no in-between. And even though the new watch looks like an oversized first-generation Pebble at a steampunk show — we still love it, unconditionally.

You can preorder the $795 watch now with shipments ($15 in the US, $95 for everyone else) beginning in May.
