The Oracle Watch keeps you up on your I-Ching

The Oracle Watch mixes the shape of a bangle with the font from an old Apple II with the I-Ching. It also tells time. I don't really like Eastern philosophizing in my watches though: I prefer them to stick with telling time, playing video games and turning into a Transformer.

The titular protagonist in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams purchases an item of this exact description.

"The titular protagonist in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams purchases an item of this exact description."

Yus. Although you could probably say something about how electronic 'random' number generators are far from random. Or at least, are not connected very well to the 'inter-connectedness of all things'.

Also, Mr Brownlee is wrong and this is spiffy.

Conversely, I would prefer a philosophizing wristband than a clock.

Actually, Dirk buys an I-Ching / calculator, that returns the correct value to any equation with a solution less than 3, and "a suffusion of yellow" for any equation 3 or greater.

I suspect Dirk would highly approve of this watch, though.
