I'm getting the 6-digit clock kit when it is back in stock.  I've wanted a nixie tube clock in my office forever.

The watch is cool...but I'm pretty good at destroying watches, so I don't typically invest too much money in them.

There's another nixie watch out there with a four digit display, IIRC.

But, nixies just aren't geeky enough for me.

They're just vacuum tubes with filaments in them.

I'll take a mechanical watch long before that - the level of precision required is amazing.
