These watches use magnetic technology or something like that. The ball moves to and fro across the face of the watch with the flow of the wearer’s arm movements, but as soon as the Abacus reaches a horizontal position, the ball moves as if by magic — or at least by magnetism — to the right point in time. So if you are looking for a stopwatch, this one isn’t it. But, if you just want to know approximately what time it is and care more about the cool design and technology of your watch, then this is the one.

So cool! But, if you’re like me, it is not always easy to figure out what the exact time is. I have the same problem with the Movado watch. Still, this is a gorgeous timepiece.

I love the simplicity of the dial, but this watch looks like a bit of a pain, from practical purposes.

This is so cool! But I guess it will be difficult for me to tell the exact time if I’m in the dark.

Yea, these days everyone has a cell phone with the exact digital time, I would feel a little less pressure operating under an approximate time system, like sundials.
These Abacus watches are affordable too, under $200

The design of this watch is unique. It definitely makes a style statment. Young generation people loves to wear these type of watches.

Both the watches look cool. But the black one looks more attractive. These type of watches are perfect to wear and gift anyone.

The magnetic technology is quite inspiring. Design and new technology are a winning combination.
