Win The $495 Nooka Zon Cuz You’re Worth it!
Winner: Alex C. in Saint Louis, MO!
Must there always be a reason to do a giveaway? Hell yes otherwise no one wants to sponsor one!
Luckily for YD and its loyal community, there is a company as honest in its views as ours. I’m talking about the elegant Nooka, who have graciously agreed to do a giveaway for us…simply because they too feel that YD readers DESERVE something special! It’s our (YD& Nooka’s) way of reciprocating loyalty.
Simply tell us what would you do if you WON a NOOKA ZON! Would you do the jiggy, show-it-off to other netizens or Call us and tell us you LOVE US?
Here’s a quickie on the Zon, it’s a beautiful timepiece that sports a 35x 45mm dot matrix display. It also features a list of cities and timezones and boasts a mirror-finish display. It comes in three rich colors: Black, White & GunMetal. Priceless, just like you folks!
Contest Ends: September 8, 12:00am PST

I would be so happy and glad, and thank you and think of Yanko Design every time I’d use the watch, and take it on vacation and keep it forever. Also I would definitely do the Yay dance and record it and upload it to my website to show how cool yanko and Nooka made me with the watch.
Emanuel Faria says
I realy don’t want to win the Nooka watch.
Cause i will have a big problem.
1st should i take it from the box, or not
2nd should i keep it on my shelf for self indulgence to watch it all the time as a master piece?
3rd should i take outside to show off “my precious”
As you can see it’s on this time that i understand the Golum problem
My precious i want it
Davey says
I would jump up and down and keep it forever. My current watch I have worn 9 years now! This would be the replacement. I would pass it down for generations in my family. I would take a million pictures of it and put it on my blog. Then I would get my friends to pose with the watch and create a collage from the pictures. Everyone can hold up a sign that says “I Love Nooka & Yanko Design!” People will come from far to pose with my new fancy watch with a 30th century design and get their picture taken!
Carole says
Wow! I would wear it to huddle with my rocket scientist colleagues and flaunt my new technology which would make them crazy with envy and then I would be promoted to Vice President. I would then make all of them purchase a cool Nooka and we would all do the happy dance together. The we would send a NOOKA on the space shuttle and the astronauts would do a NOOKA Happy Dance on the International Space Station, which would be an instant hit on YouTube, and the whole world would call to say, “We LOVE you, Yanko Design!”
And we would all Jiggy Dance forever!
edita says
my friends say that they really dont care if they win or not….that the design is ok…nothing special….functions …ahhhh so so…give it to someone who cares….they say:”We dont care..”
primates!!!! i say
pliz give it to meeeeeeeeeeee!!!! i care…ill appreciate it…il treasure it…myyyyy precioussssssss!!!!!!! xoxo
Anke says
I would finally be glad having a square watch instead of a cricle one. And I would be staring at it wondering about what all other people around the world are bussy doing at that special point in time.
And I would say to you, people of Yanko and of Nooka: Dank je wel!
J.L. says

littleredhen says
First thing I’d do if I won the Nooka watch? Post on facebook, of course!
koningwoning says
I would jump on my desk and shout @ all the people in the office: I WON! I REALLY WON!
Then I would start changing things around @ my workspace, printing stuff out, getting things from home etc and make my cubicle a YANKO DESIGN cubicle – and post the photo’s of it to twitter & facebook telling people why I did that.
Javier Avendaño says
I would wear it. I would -for the first time in 12 years-, take off my beloved Kinetic, and wear this watch. It’s THAT cool.
Candy says
I will do my special jive with my Father Figure and hopefully buy him one in Black (his fav color) and pick mine in White. Then we can both dance on “Forever” and thanks YD at the same time!
longo says
would go diving with this watch.
would love to take it to the bottom of the sea and show it to the fishes and other sea monsters.
: )
Antonin says
Hi, i want this beautifull watch, if i have it i nerver never late on my job, so i’m not loose my job, so i don’t kill my self and nobody els, promise.
Sory for my bad english
9swords says
Wow it’s so cool! I think if i won it, i would wear it! Oh, and call you to tell you how much i love you ♥
Radzell says
I would throw my brad new 2000 computer i have warranty, but it would look cool.
Alex Ketch says
I would buy a gazillion other watches and build a pedestal out of them. Then I would place the Nooka Zon on top of them just to show how much superior it is to everything else
Valerio says
I never weared a clock during my life, I hate them and also my best friends know this so they never gift me with a watch. Wearing this could be the first time and I can always say to everyone “It’s not a clock”.
Jonasklam says
I like clubbing at the most exclusive clubs in Copenhagen, so I would wear it and show the snobs in the clubs how a watch really should look like.
Toby says
I’d stand still in the middle of London just staring and pointing at the watch, like a piece of modern artwork, whilst wearing a t-shirt that said ‘watch this’. I would film it from far away in a timelapse and I’d watch (pun intended) the effect of my performance on the pedestrian masses.
Alan Larsson says
I would start wearing a watch again! I would also try and contact the company and see if there’s a way to add own small programs to it, that way I could program it to have Pong, and of course I would love YD even more than now.
Jesse says
I think this would be the perfect watch to launch me into a new era of creativity in my life.
Dan Frier says
What wouldn’t i do. Now that i had the ultra stylish timekeeper i’d never miss out on anything again.
To celebrate my winning i’d head straight to the Nooka Zon website, hit the forums and persuade all the Nooka lovers to attend my celebration party, everyone at Yanko had better be there too.
Not only that i’d use the timezone function to arrange for simultaneous parties worldwide, the entire planet would be rocking to great music and drinking great booze, all wars would stop, their would be party food for all, and all thanks to the Nooka Zon and Yanko Design.
This party is gonna be AWESOME.
Michael says
I would wear it.
Judith says
“Mate, your watch is AWESOME – where is it from?” “Well, where it is from is a secret. But i can tell you something about it: it actually lets you travel in time”…
“No way dude, shut up!”
“No really, see if i click here, it says Tokyo. Or if you rather go to London or Berlin, you can just set you watch to a different time zone – so really it seems like you are just changing the time zones, but then, if you close your eyes and wish to be in that specific place really hard, it will take you right into it.”
“Can i try?”
“Well babes, of course you can try, but its quite addicting….its going to be real hard to get used to another watch, once you get used to this versatile and unique timepiece”
“Well, i really want to try”
“Alright mate, where do you want to go?”
“Back to Argentina, can I?”
“Ok, lets try.”
I really appreciate good design and nooka has for long been one of my favorite watch designers. I have never had the money to acutally buy myself a watch of them, but be assured it would make me just really really happy and it would be a constant companion in my life.
The watch would actually travel the world with me and hopefully all the 24 time zones that are there would come to use.
The only thing im asking from you in case of winning is to take away the choice of color from me. I think they are all wonderful. Thanks for your attention.
Hopeful.Judith. Berlin.
bilabili says
I WOULD…. errr…
go to the moon and shave off the craters and make nooka and yanko design logo that can be seen from the earth..
Chris says
I would finally be able to show up on time to something in a way that says “ya, that’s right, I have the coolest watch ever”. This would beat my current setup, which is almost EXACTLY the same, except it involves carrying around a 14″ black&white TV from 1972, an extensively modded Atari 2600 console, and a concrete sun dial that measures 37.5″ in diameter. This is all very heavy, and requires a substantial backpack. As you might imagine, to have such a cool timepiece in a form factor that would fit on my wrist would be exceptional. This would be particularly true for when I travel, which is basically all the time. For example, I’m currently in Germany and I have no idea what time it is. But the sun is out, so I can get the sun dial fired up to find out.
Dear friends, I will do you right if you’ll share this watch with me. I promise.
~Tibbo says
Id throw it in the bin!! poor design, have not thought about the watch in context, in a world where time is all around us, a watch is merely a fashion bracelet.
max says
tibbo: isn’t that the point? if you’re going to wear a watch, it would mainly be to make a fashion/personal style statement. that’s why nooka has the right formula,.
Rishi Vohra says
I usually don’t wear a watch, but that would change if I were to sport a Nooka Zon watch on my wrist. Previously, I used to ask people for the time – but with this watch, I would go out of my way to tell people the time, just to flaunt my new priceless gift, even at the risk of coming across as crazy! Who said that telling time couldn’t be fun??!!
Svetla Simidchieva says
I would give it as a present to my boyfriend (he is simply a better show-off that me and would make a better model for the Nooka Zon)then post a question on my company website like: What does Nooka and Monday have in common, or some other funny game like this
PS My company is called Monday
Dan Gilmore says
If I had this watch, I would stare at it for hours watching every little pixel wash out like a grain of digital sand. At least it’s a lot more portable than the egg timer I watch at the moment!
BIBO says
I would wear it, although I don`t wear watches.
jtworld says
i hope i’m lucky to get one
billy says
Hey YD!
Firstly thank you for notice about this watch ..I adore it!!!
My girlfriend has birthday on 5th od September and we are going to London for a weekend-my treat to her!
And while we get back it would be nice if I won it, cause I would give it to her!;)
She loves funky/big/sterille watches …
She would love the white one …I think it would be a great suprise.
Billy Bojan from Slovenia
Alessandro Sala says
when I’ve taken awareness: I play. I whistle, I sing and I dance and jump…
…many thanks to Nooka Zon and Yanko Design…
Adam M says
that’s a lovely watch! with two tokyoflash watches, i love watches that are quirky and unique, so I’d have to say I’d wear it loud and proud
Jool says
Just Flaunt It!
Sokinnen says
When i get this watch (sorry people)
i will put it on my hand and then go naked
to see if people would see the fact that i have
brilliant watch or that i´m naked.
shaeema "the banker" boer says
i would invent my own nooka dance and send it to the nooka guys and make a nooka cake and send that to ‘em aswel and id want to visit the nooka guys and hug em FOR PUTTING A SMILE ON MY FACE!! this is a really beautiful watch, you dont see any of these in sa (south africa), whatever you get here is always too flashy or ghetto-like and the functions on ‘em are purely basic. it ll be a real pleasure wearing something decent and COOOOL!!
Eran says
I definitely wouldn’t do the Jiggy, but if I get this watch, then I would definitely buy the wife the watch she wants, for I wouldn’t need one of my own
sydereus says
i would wear it around my design company telling everybody that “I own the right time” ;D
Andre says
I want one so everybody can ask me where I got such a unique time piece.
Dennis Gustafsson says
I would always be the first and last to tell everybody what time it is, how good my watch looks, how many girls it has gotten me and I would literally be the envy of my peer group.
Jamie Cummings says
Great Comp!!! If I won I would pick my balls up and finally do a sky dive!!!
Cheers Yanko
Davide says
If i would win that watch i definitely love YD for the rest of my life, call YD to say how amazing is that and finally show it to all my friends and parents… i’ ll be very very proud of this watch because i never won something in any contest, and obviously because i LOVE the design and the functions of this watch ( or diamond? )
So says
hello to more wrist action “wave” goodbye to reaching in the pocket for phone action!
Pierre Duthoit says
I would design a nice stand or something usefull which will fit to this watch!
(I would also send it to yanko of course)
Uros Vitas says
I would love it
)))…I mean we all would
Sandra Michel says
First, I must say this and get it out of the way: it would be perfect for me to win this wear-it-art as I live in AriZONa. Imagine the possibilities… eh?
As I could really use a good turn of events to get the ball rolling in a happier direction in my life, I would start by declaring my undying love for both YD and Nooka on such websites and forums as Facebook, mySpace, eBay, Amazon, Twitter, YouTube, Wikipedia, Blogger, Blip, etc.
Next, I would plan and execute a smart cocktail party for my friends and to all in the employ of YD and Nooka, right here in my comfy living space. I would serve Maker’s Mark Manhattans and Boodles Martinis, and play Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk. Then, the pièce de résistance: an unveiling of the Zon; I can’t go into detail here, as I wouldn’t want to ruin the surprise.
Ok, just a hint – I’ve placed a call to Charo’s people… coochie coochie!
John says
I would offer it to my little brother, thanking him to be there for me.
Shakeer says
accept it first. then wear it. with a big grin
))
Alessandro says
I would throw away my beloved Momodesign watch and wear this forever!
Dhiram says
Wear and flaunt it forever.
Christian says
I would quit my job
Kayden says

jokes… it would replace my current 7 year old dilapidated watch.
Mohammad Mahdi Rostamiani says
I’ll Wear it until it works. Then I’ll buy another one
Because I love Yanko Design
qmar says

probably laughing my ass being happy for a few moment and brag about it straight away..
wear this until it’s obsolete, and by obsolete i mean completely destroyed.
imomed says
i would sell it to buy a ticket to go and see my girlfriend
Mark Newman says
I would wear this watch and never take it off!
saruhan says
I have written that if I win the nooka watch, it will be the sign of the positive change in my life but even the link did not work.
No matter thanks guys
Sebastian Catana says
What is it that makes Nooka ZON
The most wanted among them all?
Could it be that it lets you know
When the sun’s up in Tokyo?
Perhaps it’s the flawless design
That makes you say: ZON must be mine!
Maybe it’s features like alarm
And chronograph that have the charm
To overwhelm us so that we
Crave for this watch desperately.
Whichever it may be, you know
I would wear it for the show!
And the entire world would know
When they’d see my merry face glow!
I’d be a truly lucky man
To wear a perfect piece of art
Of such great value on my hand.
Oh ZON, with you I’d never part!
— Sebastian, Aarhus, DK
Zlati Pehlivanov says
Please YD, make me a gift for my birthday on 7th September. I don’t lie, you can see in FB, we are friends there btw.
)) and even if they don’t like it I will wear it, cause I have never won something from any giveaways in internet
Another reason is that i don’t even have a watch, but would wear this one, cause of lack of any disturbing projecting metal parts, that often in the past, were damaging my hand, that’s why I stopped wear watches.
I would be so on 7th sky if I won this price, I’ll show it to all my friends, I’ll post proudly a photo in FB on my profile
Best Regards
Heburt says
I would congratulate you for the most commented post ever on YD !

Ionesco says
I’d tell Morpheus:
“Bug off! I’m in charge with Nebuchadnezzar now!”
Mimoun says
what I would do? Call my boss and tell him to kiss my shiny brown ass, come get your s**t, and go to hell. Next stop, Vegas, for a few days of Nevada freedom. Then off to California to visit the doctor and get a prescription for medical marijuana. Then I would put out a challenge to all the growers in the world to bring me the best strain possible. Then, buy a house on the beach somewhere in southern California. When I wake up from my THC induced fog, I will look at my NOOKA ZON and plan accordingly.
Cheburashka says
I would make the watch part of my family heritage and pas it on from father to son. On every (family) get-together I would spreak the word of Yanko Design and it’s blog post.
I would wear “The Watch” with pride, pride for it’s designer, manufacturer, and donater. I would wear “The Watch” to know what time it is.
Abhishek B says
i’ll leave my girlfriends for Nooka!
nez says

Simon says
I would set the trusty alarm clock for 11:58 PM, stock up on caffeine and spend the next 24hrs watching each cell of the matrix tick over…
Jonathan says
I would wear it all day, asking people if they needed the time just so they can see it.
Martha Garza says
I usually don’t wear a watch (mm like never) but I’m in love here..
So.. first of all i will use it.. always like a tattoo..
second.. i will show it off and tell everyone yanko’s giveaways are real becausee I WOOOOOONNNN!!
ohh and i would also call you to tell you how much I love you =)!
TG Tan says
I would just simply replace the one and only watch that coils my wrist everyday since 1998.
The one that accompanied and helped me through every single important days of mine including my secondary examinations and my Architectural presentations in college years.
Now, in my final year and soon, the real working world, I want the Nooka Zon to replace the ‘young and childish’ image of me with a ‘professional and edgy’one. And with the Nooka Zon, I hope it marks the new voyage or chapter of my life.
colbrich says
i would go totally nuts! jumping from the watchtower in seconds and running in clockwise circles for hours. and nobody could stop me. like time.
DangerDude says
I would stop asking people for the time.
And if I’m in a really good mood, I’ll even tell the time myself if they ask.
Djuned's Ahmed says
if i won,i’ll definately use it to propose my girlfriend to marry me…!!! i will use it as present instead of an wedding ring…i’m broke,and i can’t afford to buy a ring for her…so if i win,i will tell my son,my grandson,and everyone i know that yankodesign was help me to make my dreams come true…

Mogwa1 says
lie down on your bed. relax yourself. clear your mind of all the thoughts, images and scenarios that block your being able to drift off into the
UNKNOWN NKOWN KOWN OWN WN N… I’ll count back from ten, when i say “Constantinople” you’ll fall into a deep sleep. when u wake up you’ll be totally refreshed. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. I am now in your subconsciousness. you will do everything as i say: SEND Mogwa1 THE BLACK ONE.
“Constantinople”.
Mikkel Bjerregaard says
I would be pretty exited! -but mostly I would be astonished that I actually won a contest.
I would then of course call you and say thank you -probably in Danish.
And let me use this opportunity to say congratulation to the final winner -and should it be me -well then it’s a luck that I’m suffering from skizofrenia…
A-shunboi says
i would film my own lil nooka ad and post it online (FB and the likes.)
Chris says
What would I do? Stop being late at meetings for a beginning!
And show off. Of course!
Kobe says
If I won, I say “YATAAAAA”
Awesome watch
Dale says
Reason to do a giveaway
1) I am worth it!
2) I am a loyal to YD community
3) I would do the jiggy
4) Show-it-off to other Citizens
5) I would Call and tell us you that I am one day going to join your company as a head of yanko design, if your give me the opportunity to see my concepts, I want to be a part of yanko cause they have designers but I will the next visionaries
6) And yes a 35x 45mm dot matrix display is the future or power saving matrix design.

Well, it would be al least the luckiest.
susanne says
I would learn how to make elaborate and expansive gestures while gracefully invoking the attention of others to my wrist. (I would also make sure to thank you profusely and send you hand crafted birthday and christmas cards if you so desired…inspired of course by my new found ability to organize my time because of said Nooka Zon giving my hand creative delight from the wrist down)
andrea says
the tape around my glasses would finally come off. i wouldn’t just be a geek, but i’d be a cool one!
moburkhardt says
I would twitter and blog about this awesome watch, give all my friends the link to both your and their website and make sure to tell anyone that asks me that they should go in to yanko design and read your great blog, and that they should go out and buy not one but two of the Nooka Zon Watches!
james chu says
I’d come out to the states to pick it up from you guys, give you all high 5’s, take you all for some beers and food, and come back knowing I own a real piece of iconic design. Nice.
Sam Anders says

geetu gupta says
If i would win a NOOKA ZON, I would keep smiling the whole day and call up all my people and tell them about this beautiful watch and of course will thank god for blessing me with all this luck.
Dafin says
I would try harder because of this bit of pure creative energy – as an art masterpiece does; that is ZON.
In the way that YD fills me up day by day..by day. Long live Yanko!
Lukas Davydov says
Ohh My Dear, I even cant Imagine what would I do if I would get it. So I’m lucky that I can appreciate thing that you have now with you. like your watch. Oh I know: I would definetely start believing in DESIGN POWER again, AND wont miss ANY lessons in my Design Studies, 2th grade! Thats would be Nice, and I guess lecturers would See why. I didn’t say that I would worship you, just because I already worshiping you everyday I go to your site, from the first time I found it.
Peace! =]
afrozed says
Lovit!
Cecile Muller says

Kathryn says
I’d call with my immense thanks, then take it back to college with me to show it off to all of my design classmates to make them crazy jealous. I might even let them touch it.

manu says
Just managed all the people rushing to me to see that marvelous timeless machine, would occupied a good portion of my day !!!!
Jeff says
I would wear it on my head and see how good it was as a tiara.
Saltynay says
If I won this watch I would most definitely annoy the neighbours by running around my apartment screaming my head off through sheer joy. I love how the pixels fill up one by one to show a relative representation of time as it passes and as a pessimist the idea of the boxes gradually disappearing as the day goes on seems extremely appealing. As a commercial dive consultant I travel A LOT so time zone orientation is always a challenge, I currently have a Maurice Lacroix watch and although it is a beautiful timepiece the lack of world timing ability is a major drawback I neglected to consider when purchasing. In short love the watch, love the mindset of Matthew Waldman.
epaz says
The begining of this chain (Nooka – Yanko) seems me a great example to follow.
It is always comforting to give a gift and still more get it, for this reason and obviously after seeing “Pay It Forward” . I think this is a great opportunity to do something about it.
I refer to deliver Zon Nooka my girlfriend, as the beginning of this track by suggesting to her that the gift to his mother (for example) her mother to her sister, her sister, her co-worker, etc.. to etc. so hopefully this chain reaches the Takashi and finally deliver it safely to Nooka.
Once all this chain is made all received a gift and we all what we have done.
Nooka and Yanko Thanks for making me think this and make me believe that everything can be better.
Greetings from Argentina!
Ian Spiridigliozzi says
I would go to the US Nooka Store on a web-diary pilgrimage wherein, I would film bits and pieces of the Nooka watch and I doing things like eating at diners, traveling by car, rocking out to loud music shows, sitting by a campfire singing cowboy songs, and, eventually, stopping at the NOOKA store. There, I would sadly tell the watch to “Go Home! You’re With Whom You Belong Now! You need to be with your family!” Moments later I would run away crying. The video would cut to a photomontage of me and the awesome watch. Sad songs. Black.
Then, there would be a celebrational party because the Watch chose to stay on my wrist! Dance party! YEAH!
Will Gibbons says
If I won the Nooka Zon, I’d first off be ecstatic, probably do some ‘out of line’ dances to show how I was feeling, then, I’d remember that I don’t really wear watches. I’d then auction it off on ebay to raise money for the local Detroit Children’s Hospital.
I’d thank Yanko for adding excitement to my day and giving me the opportunity to save a life.
Kendrick Lo says
If I won the Nooka Zon? I already have been contemplating buying one for a while. I’d go nuts. I’d take pictures of it everywhere I was, and for every picture OF me I would be flashing the damn thing for everyone to see.
I would honestly probably sit at work, stare at it all day and lose productivity and get fired.
Jason says
I would have to fly, fight crime and do public service announcements. Cause I am sure this watch would give me super hero powers. Like Underdog times 10!
Tobias van Yperen says
If i win the Nooka Zon Watch, i can give away all my clothes to the homeless because everbody will only be looking at my wrist!
ken says
I am an avid watch collector If won the watch would be live with other obscure digital watches from decades past.
Samuel Gean says
Dear Yanko Design,
If I were to win this watch, I would be forever grateful. To all those who ask about it (and there will certainly be many), I will attest to the kindness and generosity of my favorite design source and purveyor of fine time pieces.
However, I should hope I don’t win it because I would probably up and die.
Love,
Sam.
Rob says
I would never stop watching this watch.
Jo says
try to program “tennis for two” on to it whilst lovin’ it
Bharat says
I don’t wear watches; simply because the good ones are really expensive… but if I win the NOOKA ZON, I’ll definitely have a reason. I’ll wear and flaunt it in my entire workplace; it’ll be real teaser for my boss who carries an iPhone 3G, that’s teased me for a while. And when I’m done I’ll sell it off in a giveaway too.
Cheers YD, thanks for the opportunity.
Sergio says
I would rejoice in the fact that I would be able to keep time for the first time in my life! I know, it has been a cruel childhood being a timeless kid never knowing what time it was. High school and elementary where fine there was always the bell that rang, However i have no clue how i made it to school on time. College however was harder with classes at odd times I found myself lost and disoriented if it wasn’t because other people knew the time I am pretty sure I would have lost it. So please I beg of you give me the watch and help me cure this horrible infliction called timelessness!!

just in time YD is offering a giveaway!! wow!!awesome!!
listen up.i am in search of a watch which stands out of the circle.and i’ve found mine.
haha
Chris says
Frankly, I think this watch is too cool for me. However, I’d find a deserving yet impoverished hipster friend and make sure they twittered about it all day long.
Dedrick says
I would post it on my blog, because I am a blogaholic. Then, I would probably bask in all it’s glory and treat it like a baby.
Thanks Yanko Design,
Dedrick
nebur says
If I won the Nooka Zon watch, I would finally be on time to job interviews!!! In this economy I need all the help I can get.
Annie says
First I’d do a happy dance. Then, I’d call all my friends to show them my new watch and post a TwitPic to Twitter. Then I’d go home and bake/mail Takashi Yamada and Matthew Waldman cookies!!!!!!! Ahh
Michael Klein says
I’d totally wear that at my sisters wedding, I’m the DJ so what better way to display my love for technology and design than to suit up with a nooka?
nuts says
i would use nooka zon to electrify my day as it would be the matrix of my life!
Peter Eszes says
i would do a time lapse video about the watch
Lorencius says
If i win the Nooka Zon Watch, i would wear it and make it as my profile picture on facebook…
hahahaha
tommaso ceschi says
I will fill every square with best designs that you showcased on YD
jenni has her head in the clouds says
I would think of it as a great birthday present (since it is mine today) then blog & twitter about how great Yanko design is.
Plus Nooka is the coolest watch maker out there, everyone stops to complement a Nooka watch.
pbooty says
I’d wear it on my belt buckle, so when people would look down at it i would say “yeah, that’s right. That’s my nooka”
Linda Boyd says
I would sell my house and all my belongings. The only thing I need in my life is this watch.
Andrei Dorofei says
I’d finally have a reason to take off my old 10$ watch, which I’ve been wearing for no specific reason for the last 4 years.
Whenever anyone would ask:”OMG what’s the time?” I would shake my sleeve in a very fashionable manner and stick the watch right in front of the guy’s face so that he can see the stainless beauty that shows me time.
I’d use my newly received expensive watch to gain trust from my future lenders. If in past getting hundred bucks was hard, now I would have imposing evidence that I am a man of my word:”See my watch? How can a guy wearing this watch ever lie to you?”
I’d probably have a few more reasons, but I can share them only after I see the Nooka Zon Watch on my left hand.
Sasha Zelcerman says
I would feel blessed and have a total NOOKAUT! it’s called NOOKADICTION..
Mark says
well, if I won I would levitate, puke fire, and speak in tongues. Once I came down from the aesthetic coma I would be put under by sheer beauty, I would call the heads at Yanko Design and audibly shake their hands for running a great contest.
I am worth it. I have friends and a neat haircut.
thanks for your consideration.
- Madano Vox
PC says
I would make a large poster with the picture of this superb watch, then I would wear it and I would go out to the streets shouting that I am the big winner…
A friend of mine would record this in video and I would post it in youtube.
Cathy Loomans says
I’d wear it everywhere I went so that my kids would HAVE to admit I was the coolest parent around. Plus I’d never miss another webinar because I forgot to do the time conversion correctly! lol
Mixel says
I would wear it all day of course, so people can ask me what time it is.
Then I will show them the Nooka ZON and they will be amazed and ask what kind of watch it is.
I will tell them that the guys of YankoDesign hooked me up with this amazing Nooka ZON.
When the people get at home, they will visit YankoDesign and become addicted(like I am). The next time there is a contest I cannot win anymore, because there are too much people on this site.
That all because they saw this beautifull watch.
ranjix says
hmmm… I guess I’m the only one who truly dislikes this piece. It’s huge, unbalanced in a non-inspiring way, bulky, digital, electronic, has an insane pixel size, did I say it’s ugly? Frankly I would consider a personal insult having someone give that to me…
just my 2c, good luck to whoever wins it
cathy Ives says
If i won, I would be screaming from the blogs, from the house, to my friends, I FINALLY WON SOMETHING! and something you guy tell me I need (GET Rid of my paint-spattered, cracked, scratched old watch and get a new one. I would take a picture and show it off! Last but not least- I would finally have a cool watch to show off!
LinoFranco says
What I’ll do if i’ll win the Nooka Zon will be to wear a watch again after 18 year (i’m 33, not Methuselah) since last time a watch appeared on my wrist…
then I’ll take a shot to my wrist to celebrate the event and to transmit it to posterity…
finally i’ll never remove it from my wrist to show it to the whole world population!!!
So If you wanna earn a lifetime testimonial for free, let me win it,
I will be your best adv/marketing campaign and investment!!!
Andre says
If I won this Nooka watch I would tell the world
“It’s party time!”..you know cause everyone would ask me “What time is it?”
nicole says
I would DOOKA in my pants!
luca says
I need to win this nooka because they are beautiful, you’re the best and my salary – for now – do not let me buy it!
Andrew Wilkins says
I would continue to do everything just as normal…as cool as hell
except checking the time…with this watch checking time might become the coolest thing ever…
and all my design loving friends of course would go and copy me (i hope you have other colors)
Andrew
Alicia Lopez says
If i won there would be alot of shenanigans and tomfoolery going on because i would be so extremely excited.
Tim says
I would happily wear nothing…apart from this watch!
If need be, I could send a picture of this…but I’m not sure how much you (or the wider world!) would want to see that!!
Go on…
Tim says
Dooka + Me = Naked Picture of me and Dooka.
Simples.
bart says
I would be beside myself in shock, I have never owned anything wearable that was valued this high.
The 2 watches I currently own together wouldn’t total this watches worth or quality of design.
This would be an awesome watch for anyone to own!
Scott says
This watch is a hand job for my wrist. I’m a watch nut and seeing my other watches cry a little tear as this bad-boy rubs nice with my skin would all be worth it.
I love my other watches, but come on, this watch is:
a) sexy as hell
b) will always have people looking
c) impress the ladies when you can say that you were around when printers were also dot matrix.
mark says
i would be styin~!!!!!!!!
wahoo~!
mark says
dot com dot com!
Diego Beltrami says
If I get it, I promise I’ll feed it and clean up after it and walk it and care for it always!
KillerDesign says
I would show off by saying, “Look-a(t)-my-Nook-a!”
Andra says
Judging from how neat it looks, I would most likely turn it in 24/7 accessory and feel special only for wearing it
I’ll keep my fingers crossed so that the masterpiece picks me to be its bearer by chance
bilabili says
i am so gonna introduce Nooka to my parent-in-law..
Said Mirjalilov says
I simply will wear it, or give it to some of my friends. At least I can promise that someone will definitely will wear this!!!
roy says
I will wear it and dance to black eyed peas, Boom Boom Pow. then test the water resistance at a near by pool. YIkes! ive been wanting a NOoka for the longest time!
P373K4N says
If I won I would read the mission briefing and just adjust it to the UTC time. And if I didn´t win, I would say: “Thank you Yanko but your watch is in another wrist”
Juan Cristobal Lara says
If I won the Nooka watch, definitely i´ll consider myself the luckiest person in the world. I would be jumping on one foot for all day and talk about my Nooka and YD nonstop. Also i´ll consider doing a video with my friends about the excellence of my Nooka.
Ultimately, I think I will become an excellent advertisement.
PS: Sorry for the excitement.
Connie Lee says
I have a policy that whenever I find money walking down the street, I give it away usually to the next person I see who is homeless. I would give the watch to someone else, perhaps someone who is not working.I might also donate it to a charity that is having an auction. I have a much less impressive and less expensive watch so I do not need one for myself.
rktic says
Well,
here’s a poor story about the guy that really won this clock. He modified the good piece and became a time traveller. Few days ago he (his name was Chris) he jumped into 2009 again, just some steps away from me. Pity, he stranded in front of a car on a busy road. I tried to help him but damn, he was in bad condition. Chris took the chance and told me about his story in a few sentences.
So – in order to not piss of time and end the world by falling into an oxymoron – i have to win this one, mend his Zon (with parts of this one), travel back, tell him about his misfortune so he’s not gonna drop on that busy road so he can actually correct time and win the real Zon again.
I know it sounds a bit weird and stuff, i think i don’t fully understand it myself. But hey, i’ve gotta save our planet and stuff.
julio says
get a tattoo of the “oo” from the nooka logo!
Robert J says
I would use it to teach my daughter that there is more than one solution to a problem and that it is often the second or third idea that’s the most elegant.
Bohoe says
I’d fly to see my brother and give it to him as a present, cause I love him.
After a hug, he would say, ‘no, brother, you keep it’. And I’d say ‘you sure bro?’. ‘Yeah’, he’d answer, ‘I would prefer if you keep it. But thanks’. I would thank him, hug him and fly back -incidentally, on time.
Hrvojeb says
I would brag brag brag. Till death do us part. Zon and me.
range says
I’d wear it everyday and have a great time. It’s been a while since I had a nice looking watch.
matt marrocco says
I would probably wait to wear it, and when I finally did, I would probably not take it off. I would shower in it, eat in it, love in it, and be buried in it. That is true love.
Saleh Ameri says
If I won I would sell it on ebay ,and buy another that i “want” to see,not a Watch that others want to show me.
Joe Cool says
Wear it. Especially on nice occasions. And enjoy it.
arjun gehlot says
First do the jiggy, Twitpic it, Run around and then do the jiggy again!
Manuel says
what i would do?!
ask people to ask me “¿what time is it?” every 5 minutes.
set up my schedule for an entire year with the dotted pattern of the NOOKA watch, using the traditional 00:00:00 way is for noobs.
get some photos with my new watch copy them and give to people in the street. the time when i give the flyer to a person is the time displayed in the picture.
also make an art instalation using as reference the squared dottd pattren of the nooka watch
showing people how i’ll enjoy using , showing and living with it.
BRANKKO says
IF (I==WON) {
I_WOULD(HAPPY(B));
}
ELSE {
THATZ_THE_WAY(IT_SHOULD(B));
}
RubyN says
If I get this watch I would start research around.
I don’t know anything about this brand. So first thing I would google the website and wikipedia… then start looking for the story behind the design, purpose, material… Untill I am totallt hapy about what I know. Then I would have a reason to show it off!!
Kuroi Lion says
I would verbally time stamp the beginning and end of EVERY conversation. I would also go screenprint a tshirt that states “Ask me what time it is.” Every time some asks “what time it is” or even spotted reading the shirt I will tell them what time it is in my favorite impressions of automated voices in English and Japanese– ‘cuz I can do that.
Smith N says
I’d open the box, put the watch on slowly and deliberately, then seal my hand in a hyperbaric chamber ala Zoolander. Sure I’d lose the use of one arm, but what good was it anyway if it didn’t have this watch on it.
Gabriel G says
If I were to win a Nooka Zon, I would run to the middle of Times Square (I live
in NYC), throw my hands in the air and yell:
NOOKA ZON NOODA ZON ALL HAIL YANKO DESIGN!
The endeavor would be filmed and mailed to you to post for all to see!
(I might show the “Naked Cowboy” my shiny new watch also)
Nicolás Robertson says
I promess to behave well for the rest of my life even if I’m wearing the watch. An I would have a lot of kids and I’m going to give each one a brand new nooka watch every 6 months till I die.
Robert Tucker says
If I won the Nooka Zon, I will set it 15 minutes behind so I will be fashionably late wherever I go…of course!
shravan kamath says
well after winning the nooka zon id go hoppin mad and scream out my love for YD!!! and show it of around sayin yeah baby im a architect with a simpy stunnin design on my hand……like yin and yang!!!!
newemka says
Well, if I win this watch, I will start by examine the box. Because i’ve designed a lot of watch boxes for my former job (you can see samples on my dailymotion page in the noble video)(none box concept found any customers, that’s what my boss told me, then I never received the promise extra money for each box concept sold). I hope that the box is as smart as the watch.
Since 2001 I don’t wear watches because I have a mobile phone. Mobile phones displays time, mp3 players displays time, if i have those things in my pocket why should i need a watch? Instead of showing to people a kind of high society reached level?
I’m actualy about to change my way of life, living in europe is too expensive, I’m thinking about going to live modestly somewhere in asia. I guess my mobile phone will be useless there (or not). Then maybe I will wear a watch (or not)
thank you for reading, I hope my english is not too bad
Newemka / Sundgau
beni says
If I got a Nooka watch, I would be ecstatic! So ecstatic that I would do PR for Yanko.com forever! When some one strikes up a conversation about the watch, I would always be incline to mention Yanko with pride!
clay h says
i would go apesh*t… but after i calmed down, i would pimp that thing everywhere i went. hopefully, i would also gain a superpower or two.
Carlton H says
I would absolutely show it off to all my friends, and I’d probably make a video about it for my blog. And no doubt I would show you all some love and shower you with many thanks! ^_^
Tang Yue Kaey says
I will not wear this watch due to my environment in work and I find it looks kind of bulky. Anyway, I do not wear watches but the design of this watch looks appealing. I will give it to my girlfriend and hopefully, it will help in building and pulling our relationship closer.
Rob Cerrato says
my watch is broken and i cant afford a new one. the zon is my favorite of the nooka watches and i would be so thrilled to have it. i am definitely a big fan of the site and on top of showing everyone my swanky new watch (if i won it), i would make known the generosity and impeccable design endowed by the glorious site that gave it to me. as a designer, the watch would serve as a symbol great design and constant reminder to push my own design.
also here is a link to a picture of my old beloved watch. the brand is Aquastar it was pretty cheap but i have never seen it in the US or found its equivalent on the internet.
http://www.robcerrato.com/dropbox/n696412361_153452_6164.jpg
Jeff Tarman says
If I won, I would take a video of my wearing the watch and doing my “Butt Dance” in public while point at the watch telling everyone that I won
Arun says
I would first blog about it. Then, I would probably call all my friends and tell them to add yanko to their rss feeds.
Andrea says
simply i could start to dress a watch! now i don’t use to have something on my left hand, but this is awsome! i will never dress off!
Jake W. says
Obviously, I would use it to fight all evil hoards/people by reflecting sunlight into their eyes and blinding them.
Naturally, my adventures would be documented and put on youtube for all the world to see the awesome-ness that is the Nooka Zon!
Evil doers beware!! Go team Nooka!
Veronica says
I would be very glad if I won it. I would feel very lucky. But, I would give it to maybe my boyfriend or my brother and explore the Nooka Zon Watch together. I love the features itself but the outlook can be improved.It looks great for guy but not that great for a girl.
Wind says
I would take a picture of it in front of famous landmarks.
the watch would show the local city/time zone in which the landmarks are located.
if one of my friends were to visit a city/time zone that hasn’t been covered, i’d lend the watch to her and have her take a picture. it would be a global communal experience, the best-traveled watch in the world.
i’d make a website dedicated to this.
adrian fallas says
I certainly would take it out from the box, starting it like for 1 month with my open mouth
then I would hung it on the wall for another month and stare it again like there’s no tomorrow… After that I will wear it till I’m dead!
Obviously I will show it off every time I find someone… like: hey hey look at my AAAWESOME WATCH I GOT… unique! no one else has it! bauahaha!
Peter says
I would sell it to help pay for my models making materials or pay off my student loans!
Vincent Liu says
If I won, I will take a video and show of to my friends and community
Greg Schutz says
I would say “thank you, for the cool watch.” and wear it proudly as I program at work; making the developer stereotype complete.
Pavel Vlachkov says
I’ll use it as a WATCH. Everytime I look at it I’ll be like oh my god its * AM or blabla PM and I’m almost late… Have a nice day everyone
Romain says
I surely would use it to read the time!
Did anyone thaught about that?
Kenny C says
Paperweight! that or let my dog wear it…then take her to visit all my friends and make them all become fans of YD&Nooka, put YD&Nooka all over their walls and follow YD&Nooka on Twitter….. or face the wrath of my viscious powderpuff pekinese of peril!
Joe G says
I would show it off to all my co-workers and ask why they don’t read YD like I do!
Gary Grist says
I would give it to my youngest son who is rather tough on watches, but likes wearing large timepieces. As a movie production student at IADT in Tampa, Florida, he would probably shoot a short commercial giving him the chance to show it off. He would then probably put the short on “youtube” and “myspsace” and add it to his portfolio of work. I, of course, would never, ever see the NOOKA again. But what the heck, I’m “old school” anyway. I’ll just stick a pole in the ground, make a circle of rocks, and…well, you know…don’t you?
robb says
I’d probably sell it on ebay. Unless it has a built in calculator function of some type.
Carlos says
I’d wear it even in the shower… well maybe not.
Hector Said Guerra says
If I won the Nooka Watch I would have to wear a watch for the first time in 8 years. I’d probably set it to Tokyo time even though I live in Chicago.
I would also be more comfortable wearing bow ties or anything along those lines. Yanko Design is a very appreciated resource for our society. Thank you.
Diego says
i will simpy use it! great design! congrats!
Jonathan says
I would give it to my father who is constantly traveling around the world. He would use this watch constantly.
Lorenzo says
I would party like it’s 1999. It’s such a great watch. Of course I’d show it off too.
warren says
i would strap it on wear it.
bring it out and share it,
tell the time and love it,
break some beats and wave it,
why? cause its worth it.
rodrigo says
I would eat a hamburguer.
Kristen says
If I won the watch, it would the the first time I have ever won anything off the internet. So I would tweet it, and put it up on my active facebook page. I would also make a youtube video. Call my parents and my husband. They would all say the same thing “We have not heard you this excited in forever.”
I would also send a lovely thank you note, as would be proper etiquette. Then I would wear it and live happily ever after.
lucas acevedo says
I`d use , cos this type of objects, this type of simple details when I look the hour , make my life better, full of colour , happiness, design and technology.
Chad Okada says
I would become the biggest spokesperson for Nooka Zon and market it everywhere including facebook, myspace, friends and yell it from the rooftops.
oguz semiz says
if i will get this nice gadget, i will be the master of the pixels and would like to travel with it everywhere i go. All my friends will get the advise (more then before;) to visit YD to be up to date with design and creativity
so dont hesitate and make me happy with it :]
charles says
since i got it free.. i will jazz it up, modify and personalize it in a very unique and professional way…:)
Daniel says
I would wear the watch every day and show it off to my design colleagues.
Kavi says
If i win this, I will dump mah rolex!
That Dude Mahmood or Ryan says
I would probably get bum rushed by hot design girls that would want to make out with me because my new NOOKA watch. Then I would go buy the NOOKA cologne and get made out with some more. Being made out with so much, NOOKA would design a lip balm that would come along with all there products.
Cameron says
If i won i would call and confess my undying love for you, and then go try to pick up some chicks with it!! YEAH!!!
Sayshuh says
Gonna use the mirror-like display to check my hair while i’m in the air, and change timezones while visiting different thrones. nooka nooka nooka. peace.
hopper06 says
I would just be plain happy because I´ve never won anything in my life before… And probably feel darned special with such equipment on my arm
Fountain says
Im headed to Hawaii- So if I win im going to learn to do the Hawaiian HAKA war dance-
Then I will come back to La and do my HAKA dance wearing my watch down main street in santa monica!!
Chris says
I would probably debate over whether or not to wear the watch given the fact that I would probably scratch the thing up the first time I decide to bike, run, or do anything active. I would then be left to concluded it would be better to sell the watch than keep it. After putting selling it on ebay I’d make myself a pretty penny. Which would be much more useful for college than an expensive timepiece that would replace a watch I’m already happy with.
heh, you asked what I would do… that’s what I would do.
Shel says
I would actually wear it, for the first time in years I’d wear a watch. I’d be the envy of all my gadget loving friends when I show them what it can do (and hope nobody steals it). Plus I’d tell everybody where I got it and how to get one for themselves after telling them (in a snooty British voice how expensive it is
).
Greg Santos says
I would rock that shit like a straight P I M P
ckinyc says
I would wear it to the Fashion Week and make them drool!
Tiffany Mien says
I’m a graphic designer and planning to go for industrial design. If I’ve won this watch it will totally encourage me and be the best luck wish to my industrial design path! I’d wear it as my luck charm during my academic years in industrial design.
Axel U says
I would strip down naked and only wear the watch to show it off.. everyday!
chris coletti says
omg, i love you guys so much! i would wear it everyday for the rest of my life and i would show it to everyone and i would take photos of it and name it and talk to it and it would be my new bff and would replace every living person i love! plz!!!!!!!!!
