TikTok and LunaTik multi-touch watch kits for new iPod nano are awesome

Shane McGlaun, Nov 19th 2010 Discuss [3]

We have seen plenty of kits for turning the new iPod nano with the touchscreen into a wristwatch. I don’t think any of them have been as cool as the TikTok and LunaTik kits from Scott Wilson. The guy posted his projects over on Kickstarter in an effort to raise the green needed to take the project to the real world. Read The Full Story

Griffin Slap is the Newest iPod Nano Watch, Probably the Coolest

Evan Selleck, Nov 16th 2010 Discuss [12]

As far as watches go, there's usually just one main design element: it wraps around your wrist, gets secured in some fashion or another, and then you go about your day. But, way back in the day, there was this crazy thing called slap bracelets. No, they weren't watches, but they were cool in their own right. So, why not put the two things together? In fact, why don't we take this growing trend of making an iPod Nano into a watch, and combine it with a Slap bracelet? Someone at Griffin asked that very same question, and luckily enough, they've got the means to actually make it happen. Read The Full Story

Shane McGlaun, Nov 10th 2010 Discuss [3]

E-ink screens are really cool, the tech sips power, needs no backlight, and is easy to read in direct sunlight. I have seen the tech used on watches before from Phosphor and the company has now announced a new addition to its E-ink watch line. Read The Full Story

Tempus Wristwatch Concept Features Bendable Display, USB Connectivity

Evan Selleck, Nov 9th 2010 Discuss [0]

Wristwatches are one of those items that really run the gamut of markets: youv'e got the watches specifically made for the kids, the watches that are designed to look expensive but really have a small price tag, and then you've got the top-of-the-line watches, that pack in the features in hopes that you'll drop a couple hundred dollars. Some of those high-end watches are the result of concept designs, just like this one, where we see plenty of features, and can only imagine that the price tag will follow suit. Read The Full Story

MB&F JwlryMachine is watch company’s oddest yet

Chris Davies, Oct 5th 2010 Discuss [0]

We're used to MB&F putting together bizarre watches, but they may have just tipped over the edge with this latest design. The MB&F JwlryMachine takes the already unusual HM3 Frog as its starting point and then dresses it up as a particularly camp looking owl. Read The Full Story

Tokyoflash Japan shows off watch with words

Shane McGlaun, Sep 10th 2010 Discuss [0]

Almost all of the watches that I see over on Tokyoflash are so confusing I don’t think I would ever be able to tell time on them without an instruction manual and even then it would be a challenge. A new watch concept is on the site now that is pretty cool and I can actually use it. The watch has a rectangular face and instead of numbers or arcane symbols, it just uses words.

Chris Davies, Sep 10th 2010 Discuss [15]

Slapping the new iPod nano onto a watch strap and wearing it on your wrist was first suggested mere seconds after Steve Jobs announced the fifth-gen PMP, and we've seen various homemade examples of how it could work. Now, iLoveHandles has actually come up with a watch strap especially designed for the nano, complete with a cut-out notch to make sure the iPod is centered. Read The Full Story

Evan Selleck, Sep 8th 2010 Discuss [1]

There are plenty of design concepts out there, but it's not all that often that they get pulled out of the concept stage and put firmly into the retail market. When it comes to the Seiko-branded E Ink "active matrix" watch, it looks like good things do happen to those who wait. It's been confirmed that the watch is heading to retail shelves later this year.

Mutewatch Features a Hidden Touch-Based Screen and Silent Alarm

Evan Selleck, Aug 5th 2010 Discuss [1]

High-profile watches exist. We know this. But, in the case of most of them, the truth is that it takes advanced mathematics to just figure out what time it is. That's usually no fun. So, when we saw the Mutewatch, we had to take a second look, because, as you can see from the image, it doesn't look like there's much going on here. Especially no ridiculous amounts of math. So what makes the Mutewatch cool enough to be considered "high-profile?" Find out after the break. Read The Full Story
