"I have though about getting a watch (novelty/binary)."

I had one of those a decade ago. Generally the marketing people have no idea what the difference is between binary and BCD, and binary is a little too fiddly to read comfortably at a glance (was that 4 0s in the middle or 3?) so examine the pictures carefully...

I think I thought binary because that was the label but now that I looked it up it was BCD. Still the price combined with already having the clock on the phone (and everything else that is/has a computer now) made it seem like a waste of money.
