Thin watch design with reverse display
Like many of the most coveted electronics owned by geeks everywhere, this watch is styled in black and is very thin. The Ximax Slim is an elegant watch with modern styling. It features a thin metal watch case and very nice white on black reverse LCD display. The display is constantly on and a button push displays the date or seconds.

* Time, date, seconds display
* Water resistant
* Dimensions: 1.5" x 1.5" x .25" thick (watch case)
* Band width: 1.1" (2.8 cm

Intro: I have been looking for a stylish slim watch. And one of my favorite sites ThinkGeek just happens to have one that really interests me. At the time I was looking at the Issey Miyake Ovo Watch which runs for around $300-$400. The main thing I like about the Ovo Watch is its minimalist design. But the price tag was the main reason I did not get one. Then came around the Ximax Slim Watch from ThinkGeek. Similar to Ovo watch but rather than a round face it has a thin square design with very little

Design: Ximax Slim Watch is a slim square-ish watch that is both modern and unique. Perfect for those who like minimalist designs. It is a watch that demands attention. It has a quality black leather band and the watch face is made of metal so it should be highly durable. The big LCD with large numbers makes it easy to tell the time at all times.

Conclusion: At $39.99 this is an inexpensive purchase that looks and feels like a much more expensive watch. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a watch that is different yet fashionable. It's a great look watch and function well for telling time with it's big LCD.
