Interesting idea, but looks like it might be a bit uncomfortable. Lots of jutting corners, sharp edge and screwheads

That idea's just made somebody a lot of money.

I'm not sure that I would ever be in a situation that I desperately needed a tiny tool kit

Making a tool-watch even more masculine?

Do they also sell you the screwdriver you need to open the bracelet to get at the tool you want to use? hehe

"Kinda neat" idea, in a geeky way, but mostly it looks pretty uncomfortable.

You just fold the link back to expose the tool I think.

This is an interesting concept, but for what it is, its extremely expensive, the rrp is $150 in the US this will probably equate to £120-130 and that's without the watch, as a watch strap it would be great but as far as ive seen its only available as a bracelet or with the watch, so I couldn't for example add a g-shock too it, why they didn't team up with Casio and added a custom Leatherman Swiss watch at $600 I will never know.

Im sure shrade/sog/gerber etc will come out with their versions in due time for a better price point.

Its also to be seen (some reviewers already have early examples) how easy it is to use and how the fact that it is lots of hinges effects its effectiveness.

I wonder if the bracelet-only option can be adjusted to fit a watch. Without taking it apart and having a play, I can't tell. Maybe drop a couple of unused links eg a torx head.

Interesting idea. Can't see any time where I would need one of these personally but I'm sure if you do and it could be useful.

yikes That looks cr@p hurl (although I can imagine it catching on in the Goth scene)
It's a tool for tools!
What next - a masculine necklace made out of spanners and screwdrivers?

Interesting but would they let you on a plane wearing one? - Would hate to have to give up my watch at the airport security point.

Great example of branding, if the same thing was on Ebay shipping from China for six quid we'd be laughing at it.

I think a lot of these will be taking up permanent residence at the back of sock drawers on Boxing Day 2015.
