The tubes won't light up until you press a button, so there isn't much to attract attention when you're just wearing it.
In any case, nobody really cares if you don't make a big deal out of it.

Where did you find the measurements?
If you like it just wear it.
Trying to wear a costume to look cool is always a losing battle.
Don’t know why a leather jacket or boots would scream cool to you. But if that’s the style you wear. Again. Who cares just go with it
I would worry they’re just cheap alibaba watches being resold by some crap Etsy shop. But so long as the bright orange light isn’t lit up all the time no reason you can’t rock that watch
Just saying I think aesthetically it would go well with something like flannel and boots rather than a nice buttonup or something. Just trying to envision what kind of normal outfit it would not clash with.
I think you could wear it was probably anything. Even if it clashes horribly... if you're confident enough in the outfit, that can be a style.
it's basically a black watch. what wouldn't black go with?
I think it's cool. I'd wear it and not care about what people think.
These are super cool, but for 400 seems a bit much for a probably china made etsy product. Are Nixie tubes that expensive?
Also: I think you can wear those easily, basically all the other designs on etsy are horrible and rather tacky, but this one shouldn't be an issue IMO.
Made in Ukraine actually.
Shit only 400? Nixie tubes are kind of special, seems totally reasonable to me.
can you share the link of the Watch? i am interested as well
i was able to find it, nevermind

They've got some very odd models... https://nixoid.store/collections/all-products/products/nixie-tube-watch-vfd-cyber-ivl-2-7-5
this one is hard to swallow
Goddamnit now I have to buy another watch
I'd steal the brown one ngl :)
I think it won’t look like a costume unless you did a bunch of other stuff to make it look like a costume like idk, wearing a top hat and some aviator goggles.
Mmmm no
I would absolutely wear that.
I love it, leather jacket and bootsz black t, maybe a Greek fisherman's cap, perfect.
I've found that things that break all these theoretical sartorial rules don't really matter if you do it with confidence.
<14mm is golden, assuming it otherwise fits your wrist. Plenty of people wear divers thicker than that and I don’t think a nixie is inherently cartoonish.
Sure. Black jeans, nice boots, a well fitting tee, and some rings or necklaces to make your look more complete? These would be great.
Is this the Ukrainian shop? Been looking at their stuff for a while
It is! Shop owner was very quick and helpful to respond with my inquiry on dimensions. Seems they actually pulled out the calipers just for me too! Guess they didn't have the number on hand
