We have seen quite a few different geeky watches here at Geeky Gadgets, the latest one from designer Michael Young merges geeky style with a cool design, the PXR-8 Watch.
The PXR-8 Watch is made from a combination of stainless steel and black rubber, as you can see from the photos the watch strap is sandwiched between the front and back watch casings.
Design and Materials
The PXR-8 Watch stands out due to its unique blend of materials and design elements. The stainless steel used in the watch is of high grade, ensuring durability and a premium feel. The watch features superb matt and brushed finishes, which add to its sophisticated look. The machined case is distinguished by a softened and curved rectilinear form, making it not only visually appealing but also comfortable to wear. The black rubber strap complements the stainless steel casing perfectly, providing a modern and sleek appearance. The strap is securely sandwiched between the front and back casings, ensuring it stays in place during daily wear.
Functionality and Features
One of the standout features of the PXR-8 Watch is its new custom-made digital module. This module includes a larger display, making it easier to read the time at a glance. The display shows just four digits, maintaining a minimalist aesthetic while ensuring functionality. The improved backlighting enhances visibility in low-light conditions, making it practical for various environments.
The watch is also designed to be water-resistant up to 50 meters (5 atmospheres), making it suitable for everyday activities, including swimming and showering. Each watch is individually numbered and engraved with Michael Young’s signature, adding a touch of exclusivity and making it a collector’s item.

I really like the design on this one, very simple yet stylish. The minimalist approach combined with high-quality materials makes it a versatile accessory that can be worn with both casual and formal attire. Unfortunately, there is no word on pricing or availability as yet, but given the attention to detail and craftsmanship, it is likely to be a worthwhile investment for watch enthusiasts.
