Our second-to-last watch might be the most outrageous watch on this list. First of all, we couldn't figure out if this watch even belongs on this list, because is the watch very futuristic, or more old school? Even though it has an old-school look we just had to feature it on this list, since it's such an innovative and creative design.

So let's discuss some details featuring this watch. The most outstanding parts are the key on the side of the watch and the light bulbs on top of its case. The key is a fun way to adjust the time on your watch. When you put the key into the watch, you can twist it and move the hour and minute hands on the watch. When you get the time right you can pull the key out and put it on the back of the watch band, where the designers have made a little strap for the key.

Where the key does have a function, the light bulbs on top of the watch seem to be there primarily for the design. As seen in the image, above the main dial, there is an option between an on or off mode. When you select the on mode the light bulbs will give a red light which is a fun feature and may come in helpful in a darker environment.

3.Steampunk Tesla watch

9.SINOBI business watch

The Sinibo business watch is one of the cheapest watches on our list, but that doesn't make it less worthy to be on this list at all. The unique feature of this watch which makes it futuristic is its dial. Unlike most watches, this watch doesn't have any numbers on it to tell you the time. Instead, the rings within the watch tell you what time it is. The outside ring tells you the minutes, while the inside ring tells you the hours. Even though it might be a little bit harder to read the time in comparison to a standard watch, the cool and unique design makes up for that for sure!

10. Diesel Mr. Daddy 2.0

7.NEW REMI SQ LAZER BLUE

On this list we had to include at least one Storm watch. Storm is known for their unique, slick and elegant designs when it comes to watches. The Remi SQ Lazer Blue watch is no exception. What we love about this watch is that it almost looks like a digital watch, but you can simply adjust the time with the crown on the outside of the watch. The combination of colors makes the watch stand out and makes it perfect to add to your collection!

Retail price: $149.99

8.LED Hironao Tsuboi

Does it get more futuristic than a watch that isn't a watch? This watch at first glance will simply look like a bracelet. It's shaped in a way that only when you press the buttons on the side of the bracelet it will be revealed as a watch. This cool design comes in at only 14.99 USD which makes it a great option for a low price!

6.Ricochet watch by Mr. Jones

Maybe when robots and AI take over the world, instead of destroying us all, they will just join us humans in our human behavior. At least that's what this watch by Mr. Jones makes us believe. A robot playing with a pinball machine, while two other robots are entertaining bystanders, might be classified as very human-like behavior if you ask me. The way the dial is designed is very much a look into the future, and besides that, it makes for a very entertaining and cool-looking watch. The creators of this watch also have found a very cool way to incorporate the actual time into the watch. The grey robot is pointing to the top of the pinball machine in which the time is displayed very nicely.

1. Spider acetate transparent LCD watch

This watch by TokyoFlash Japan might be the most futuristic watch on this list and here is why. First of all, the watch is transparent, something you don't often see when it comes to watches. Second of all, the watch has a completely new system of reading the time. Down below this paragraph, you will see an image of how the time is displayed. You basically have to read the time from the outside of the watch towards the inside. In the example below you will see that the red line displays a one, the green a two, which makes it 12 o'clock. The yellow lines make a three and the blue lines an eight, which together makes it 38 minutes. Combine the two and you have the time. Even though this might not be the most practical way of reading the time it's a very futuristic way for sure! The last reason, and in this case probably also the least, which makes this watch futuristic is the button on the right side of the watch, press it and the watch will light up with a led light. A very little but cool touch to an already incredible watch.

2.Model 2 Nixie tube watch

Just like the Steampunk Tesla watch, this Model 2 Nixie watch by TokyoFlash Japan, might be a controversial watch on this list. Simply because the inspiration of this design is more old-school than futuristic. Still, we decided to include it on this list, because of its uniqueness and mechanics. The design is made with original Nixie tubes. TokyoFlash states on its website: 'Introduced in 1955, Nixie tubes were first used as numeric displays in digital voltmeters, frequency counters and early calculators before being superseded by LEDs in the 1970s.' What's cool about his watch is that it's made with original Nixie tubes made in the Soviet Union between 1974 and 1995. You can even see the month and year in which the tubes were manufactured on the tubes. To justify this watch being on this list we should note that the watch can be recharged with a USB. A full charge takes 1.5 hours and will last for a month. The lifetime of the watch is about 20 years. The watch gives a cool light effect, which makes it stand out even more in a darker environment!

4.Darth lazer blue watch

Storm watches make a second appereance on this list with the Darth lazer blue watch. This watch has similar features as the New Remi SQ watch. The Darth lazer blue watch has a similar way of showing the time, it doesn't show all the numbers, but simply the hour and minutes of the time at the moment, through it's cool signature revolving disc movement. The watch has a very slick design and it's shape makes it stand out when it's compared to other watches!

5.Magnetic EUTOUR watch

Like many other watches on this list, this Magnetic watch by EUTOUR has a unique way to tell you the time. Unlike most other watches that use minute and hour handles, this watch uses two magnetic balls to tell you the time. The inside ball will tell you the hours, while the outside ball will tell you the minutes. Due to its magnetic feature the balls are able to spin around, but always land on the correct time. This means that you can play around with the little magnetic balls, they will probably move a bit when you move your wrist around, but it doesn't impact the time displayed on the watch. It will always tell you the correct time when the balls come to a stable position.
