The results from Timex' future-vision design contest are pending, but here's my idea of a timekeeping device for the year 2154: (Unfortunately I couldn't enter due to the demands of my move at the time of the deadline.)
150 years out says beyond wearable to me: think Cortical Implants with the ability to virtually project information overlayed with your regular vision:
Now combine the state of the art in time shifting technologies with virtual graphic overlays and imagine a system that would allow you to "see" time based information such as milestone markers virtually overlayed with the real world:
Ghost Data would represent realtime splits of your past performance or famous races or events.
(Let's load that Carl Lewis program again but timeshift it to 50% this time so I have a chance!)
This type of concept could eventually replace numerical representation of time with information about the meaning of time itself.

Nothing quite as futuristic as cortical implants, and I'm really surprised that no one took on sports timing, but there's some neat stuff there.
