Watchtopus

Have you ever asked a person what the time is. Of course you have. And assuming the person isn't wearing a watch or a very small sundial (Energy saving at it's best), you will get a quick and correct answer.

But try asking a person what day it is. Their response is likely to be a befuddled look, strained thinking and possible cries of "witch". This is where the watchtopus comes in. No it doesn't allow you to squirt ink in the face of said person (Although I may remember that for future ideas). The octopus reference is that it has many hands. Yes I am aware that octopi do not actually have any hands but that isn't really the issue nor do I in fact care about it. This would be a watch with several faces to it each telling you something else.

There would be a standard face with seconds, minutes and hours. Another with hands representing days of the week, the day of the month and month of the year. The third face would have four hands representing the four numbers of the current year. You would never again not know the precise point of the year that you are at.

More high-range versions could also include all number of other dials. a barometer, a speedometer (for really fast people), blood pressure and heart rate, (for "gravitationally challenged" people), a compass (for lost people and bored people) or the dial equivalent of a magic-eight ball with a button to control it (for idiots and bored people).
