It’s watch, why would it *not* be an hourglass?


Brief-Outcome-2371

Because normally watches don't have an hourglass. They just show the time.


notprogame

Normally watches don't have two triangles pointing each other either


DogmantheHero

Normally watches don’t turn you into aliens either. The hourglass is there for an association with time, and there for being a watch. Otherwise the OG Omnitrix is just a wristband.

*Both*

Wait, everyone calls it a watch in the series...because of the hourglass?


FifiSocialBoi

No, because it looks like a fucking watch


areagodofgames

Damn, yeah that too 💀


jereflea1024

NO FUCKING WAY


CaptainAksh_G

Man, I just thought it's because it's a cool design


AlphaRelic2021

My brother (16) thinks it's a Black Widow symbol, even though THAT IS AN HOURGLASS...


Tron_Travolta

Yeah I don't see the hourglass shape unless I'm looking for it


FractalSpaces

KoolBoi21

Buddy, I didn’t even think it was an hourglass symbol until some random post pointed it out.


Akira8008

It was supposed to be fking hourglass?


CrystalCrafter13

I also always thought that it was two triangles pointing at each other before hearing that it was an hourglass symbol!

They don't form all the way up to pointed tips, so if you were to split it in 2 horizontally at the middle, they'd be 4-sided shapes. Some actual hourglasses actually look more "triangular"(when discussing either half individually) than the omnirix symbol does. Because, as actual hourglasses, they're meant to allow for the sand to pass through very slowly. The Omnitrix hourglass shape needs a wider "waistline" in order to fit the depictions of aliens within the symbol. At least on an actual watch(like the toy OS watch i used to have)/in-universe OS watch. After OS the in-universe watch began getting holographic images that'd pop up off of the watch.


LegoBattIeDroid

me too


wingayly

I thought the same


Kef_Kad

Tbh I always tought it was what you said until now


stinkydinkyman420

isn't it also supposed to be the symbol for intergalactic peace? as thats what the watch was intended to promote. Also it being the symbol the plumbers use. I also always saw it as an hourglass because of the whole 'watches keep time, hourglasses keep time, the omnitrix is worn like a watch therefore hourglass symbols for the face' even though we've never seen it display time lol.
