Watch prototype wants you to be on time

2008-04-07T02:04:00.001-07:00

We've seen GPS watches, watches with calendars, and WiFi watches, but this is the first time I've seen all three of these used for a killer watch application. This timepiece, still in prototype status, uses these technologies to let you know when you should leave for events programmed in your calendar.It takes into account things like traffic conditions, estimated drive time, and any other en route points you may have scheduled.

Formula 1 watch - get your race on

2008-04-07T02:03:00.001-07:00

Though I've never been a big fan on car racing, I find some of the merchandise cool. This Azimuth Bi-Retrograde watch is just such an example. The face is laid out like a Formula 1 race car dashboard. When you're going 59 miles per hour with 4K RPMs, you know it's time to punch out (that's 4:59 for the uninitiated).It runs mechanically and has a perforated leather strap. It's perfect for those who just aren't fit enough to be professional car drivers.

Oakley Judge Stealth Black

2008-04-07T02:01:00.003-07:00

This watch presents an image of a businessman who uniquely lives on the edge with style. The Oakley Judge Stealth Black’s features hint to be a formal, yet avant-garde watch.

The URWERK 210 Blackshark

2008-04-07T02:01:00.001-07:00

Consider this time piece sold. Licking your chops is as near as you’re going to get to the URWERK 201 Blackshark.

Citizen's New VIRT Bluetooth Watch

2008-04-07T01:59:00.003-07:00

Citizen has given its VIRT W700 Bluetooth watch a face lift. The earlier version of the Bluetooth watch reminded me of a new state-of-the-art device that would replace the electric chair.The new version has a milder style, but to me it looks like a new invention for a pulse monitor, or maybe a timepiece made for the younger generation. Instead of the stark black, mechanical stiffness the old version reflected, this new version is daubed in a milder black. But, the soft colors (available in blue, pink or white) around the frame of the display break up the dark dreariness.

Diamond Encrusted Quadtec Watch

2008-04-07T01:57:00.000-07:00

We reported about the innovative Quadtec digital LCD watch by Equitime last October. The company informed us that they offer now limited editions with real diamonds. The Quadtec watch takes a fresh approach to display time digitally. The Quadtec watch can be set to show the number of minutes to the full hour. Additionally it is the first watch to display the minutes at the location of the current quarter. The diamond option gives the watch the necessary sparkle to compete with expensive traditional Swiss watches or become a hit with Hip Hop artists. I actually have a Quadtec here. It is a bloody big time-piece. It is already a real looker and conversation piece without the diamonds. I also really like the "analog" way it tells the time. The standard version of the Quadtec watch sells for $490 through Amazon.com.

VABENE Forza Rossa

Seiko's New SKZ213K1

2008-04-07T01:49:00.000-07:00

Somebody’s been dipping in the Blue Monster’s porridge. Seiko’s Blue Monster a/k/a the Seiko SKZ213K1, has a duplicate mold out there on the market. Apparently, there’s a market for this limited edition.There are some differences in the two, however. The actual Monster’s blue face contrast nicely with the light green lume and the red and blue bezel makes an appealing. Its twin similarly has a blue face, but it surrounded by a dull steel bezel that doesn’t lend much personality. Yet, like the Monster, it’s a handsome watch.

Nooka's Zen-V Watch

2007-10-20T10:21:00.000-07:00

I've always loved clocks and watches that require a little brainpower to figure out what time it is. I guess that's why I have a soft spot for Nooka (most famous for their Zot watch). Their newer line is the Zen line, and the Zen-V is a real conversation piece.There are three "bars" on the watch. The first two have six ticks each, and they represent the hour (e.g. all six ticks marked on the left-most bar and two ticks on the middle bar is 8:00). The third bar is more of a gauge/thermometer type of readout, with markings next to it from 0 to 60, and that tells you the minutes portion of the time. Luckily, to make things a little simpler, the seconds are shown in a simple digital display on the right side of the watch.

Finally a Bluetooth Wristwatch is going to be available. Seiko was talking about Bluetooth watches already back in 2001. Today not Seiko, but Citizen announces a commercial available Bluetooth wristwatch dubbed Citizen VIRT.

The design of the world's first commercially available Bluetooth watch is a bit too industrial for my taste. The display is way too small and it is too thick with close to 15mm.

Seiko Phatch Bluetooth Watch not a New Thing

2007-10-13T01:19:00.002-07:00

Rumor surfaced on a bluetooth enabled Wrist Watch, apparently in development by Seiko. Story and photo originated at WastedBrain.com. Lots of other sites like Engadget and Gizmodo picked up the story. Seiko actually already showed a bluetooth enabled Wrist Watch in 2001 and again in 2003. I cannot find a source other than WastedBrain for the new Seiko bluetooth Watch Photo. See below a photo from the 2001 version. IXI a maker of wireless device infrastructures has a press-release in 2003 describing a bluetooth enabled Seiko Instruments Inc. (SII) Wrist Watch. So far I would say the Seiko Bluetooth is comparable with the Samsung Wrist Phone story. Those Gadgets surface every other year and somehow never become reality.

First Wrist Watch TV Review

2007-10-13T01:13:00.001-07:00

I4U just published a review of the NHJ wrist watch TV VTV-101. Quote: The TV unit itself measures 48x48x18mm and weighs 50g (my measurements), making it the smallest TV I have ever seen. The TV display itself measures 1.5" diagonal. Set button displays the current channel in the time display. With the arrow buttons I now can change the channels. The first good reception I got on channel 26. I was amazed how "watch-able" TV is on this post stamp size display. It really works well. The display is sharp. Text displayed is readable. The colors are vivid. The only challenge I have is getting good reception. Read the full Review.

Crazy and Unique Japanese Watches

2007-10-13T01:08:00.000-07:00

TokyoFlash a japanese online store, features a Unique collection of Wrist Watches. The designs of some of them are just crazy and push the definition of how to show time. The one in the photo is called "Pimp".The time is displayed in 3 colors. The left side represents the hours and can be read by looking at the digits to the left of them. The minutes are displayed in 12 rows of 5, in green, yellow, and red, with each row representing 5 minutes, each light representing a minute. To count the minutes after 15 minutes it is easiest to start by looking at the competed red row(s) and then start counting from there. Each completed red row is a 15, 30, 45, 60 minute indicator. Does not get more complicated to read time, but it definitly looks cool and for $129.00 this is an affordable head-turner. Check out the TokyoFlash Store for more out-there wrist watches. TokyoFlash ships to the US and Europe.
