Nearly 120 million yen worth of merchandise was stolen from a high-end Tokyo, Japan watch store.Of course, that's only about 5 cents in American currency (actually, it's a little over $1,000,000). Police say the suspects are part of a gang that specialize in this sort of crime.

Watch prototype wants you to be on time

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. In addition to all this, it can connect wirelessly with a cell phone via Bluetooth.

Formula 1 watch - get your race on

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.

This black, rigid timepiece sports conservative, yet contemporary features while maintaining affordability.The Night Vision is equipped with a built-in LED flashlight that sits above the 12:00 o’clock point and is bright enough to get you across that richly dim room.

If you just want to comfortably view the time, or if the flashlight battery dies, the optional LED dial light is on hand.

You’ll fumble through its mysteries while stumbling over Mainnav’s clumsy MG-920 Bluetooth GPS receiver.Sporting a SiRF Star III LP chip, this GPS watch ejects from you wrist and forces your attention to its navigational instructions. Though it’s hard to refrain from harping on this creature’s features, we’ll pause for a second to give you the lowdown on the pretty decent specs this GPS possesses.

Oakley Judge Stealth Black

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. Some of the benefits to note on this time-piece are smooth-flowing second hand that soars to the current moment when pause is released; a sub dial for logging minutes and hours; and excellent precision of 10-jewel Swiss movement.This Judge™ watch’s has impact-forge stainless steel bracelet with the flexibility and fit of micro adjustment links; and anti-reflective (AR) coating on the face of the watch that prevents glare from the sapphire crystal.

The URWERK 210 Blackshark

Consider this time piece sold. Licking your chops is as near as you’re going to get to the URWERK 201 Blackshark. This timekeeper lives up to its name dressed in stark black, rounded out by a complementary leather strap. The crystal clear window is the eyes to its dark soul, forcing you to wonder if you’re gripped by its spell.Like its 103 counterpart, this one will arrive with a Platinum PVD’ed version. ‘Felix” the creator of this fine watch, will only manufacturer 250 of these timepieces (this includes the 103’s and 201’s).

Citizen's New VIRT Bluetooth Watch

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.

Tag Heuer's Limited Edition Monaco Gulf

Diamond Encrusted Quadtec Watch

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

This timepiece signifies every facets of red: Fire, passion, hot, fury, love. It is said, “Red symbolizes life, vitality, strength and the physical nature of man.

Rose-red is the color of universal harmony.” And in harmony it is, as this watch synchronously clock movements.Derived from the romantic and passionate shores of Italy, the Forza Rossa is a startling watch crafted by the Italian watch company VABENE. This creative watchmaker humbly offers the Forza Rossa for $145.

This sleek, dark mystery was created using the same wireless technology to display the dat on one’s wrist rather than on one’s DAP.Though we’re not sure if this is a finalized idea, but we’re sure that Nike won’t be breaking complete ties with iPod. The name and reputation speaks for itself.

Seiko's New SKZ213K1

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.

iWatch In Apple's Future

Is the world going iPod MAD? No! But, Worth1000.com contestants attempt to creatively show us what Steve is conjuring up in R&D’s Apple facility. It’s going to be a close competition.

From the iPuff cigarettes to the Ipiano, these guys are giving it all they’ve got.The iWatch caught my attention looking so much ever like the Ipod Nano and with all the features. This could definitely be a reality folks! It mirrors the familiar dial and has a handy USB port along the side. If iPod isn’t already working on this one, they should!
