New Ammon “Proof” Digital Watch Looks Great

, Aug 11th 2007 Discuss [1]

Ammon appears to be a fairly new watchmaker, and they seem to be quite good at it too. I can’t say personally how well they work, but they certainly look new, fresh, and nice. The company originates in California and recently released this new line of watches, the “Proof”. They all have leather bands slightly wider than the actual watch itself, and they are all integrated into the band. Read The Full Story

SMS Technology’s M500 Cell Phone Watch

, Aug 10th 2007 Discuss [3]

The phone, or watch, however you choose to refer to it, looks a lot like those Fossil Microsoft watches they launched a while back, but better. The phone is supposed to have quad-band GSM at 850, 900, 1800, and 1900Mhz spectrums. The watch is also water-resistant and has an MP3 player. It also has Bluetooth, 128MB memory, USB connectivity, and, get this, a touch screen, you can’t get that on anything short of a limited number of smartphones and the ever-popular iPhone.

Shadow SS Watch Offers Analog and Digital In Same Watch

, Aug 6th 2007 Discuss [0]

The Shadow SS appears to be an analog-only watch at first glance. Press a button on the side though, and all of the sudden the digital time pops up from behind the analog face. Read The Full Story

, Aug 3rd 2007 Discuss [0]

The last time Apple teamed up with a company for an exercise device we got the Nike+iPod in-shoe tin that tracked several metrics. This time `round we get the Timex Ironman iControl, a watch that can wirelessly control the basic functions of your iPhone and/or iPod. Read The Full Story

Starck-designed watch is slickly discrete

, Jul 10th 2007 Discuss [1]

That bloody Philippe Starck, he really needs to stop designing lovely products that so tease my wallet.  I actually already have a very similar digital Fossil watch that he created, but this new Veiled design really tickles my temptation glands.  Available now in both mens' and womens' versions (the latter being narrower), the analogue face is all-but-obscured by the electroplated crystal glass that looks to be a continuation of the stainless-steel bracelet.   Read The Full Story

Steampunk watches are artwork for your wrist

, Jul 9th 2007 Discuss [2]

Boing Boing's Cory Doctorow is moved to wretched tears at the indecently gorgeous sight of these Steampunk watches, crafted by someone rather talented in Japan.  Sadly the majority of them are not for sale, but if you're looking for inspiration for a project of your own then feast your eyes.   Read The Full Story

Nike Triax Vapor 300 – One cool watch

, Jul 2nd 2007 Discuss [0]

I'm not much of a watch guy. My phone has a clock on it, so I don't really have much of a need for another device that tells the time. However, those that need a watch with a little more functionality than your average timepiece, Nike might just have what you're looking for. Read The Full Story

PayPass wristwatch – just tap and go

, May 22nd 2007 Discuss [2]

I don't use MasterCard, so I'm not familiar with just how easy it is to tap my card on a PayPass scanner and go. But for those of you that take advantage of this service, it just got easier. The Garanti Bank in Turkey has teamed with MasterCard to bring us a watch with the PayPass feature built-in. The watch will only work when paying amounts totaling under 15 euros, so don't expect to pay for your new TV with one of these, but it will pay for lunch or coffee without a problem. Unfortunately for now, these are only available in Turkey. I wouldn't be surprised if these catch on in other parts of the world quickly though. Paypass wristwatch from Garanti Bank [via techdigest]

Solar-powered watch achieves new level of wretchedness

, May 18th 2007 Discuss [0]

In a world where eco-friendly technology has gone to great lengths to show us that it needn't be ugly as sin, it's almost a relief to find a product that seemingly revels in its crapness.  Citizen has taken the fashionable coolness of solar-power and put it in a klunky watch case with horrible lettering.  Well done, guys!

Now you can watch movies on your watch – but would you really want to?

, May 8th 2007 Discuss [1]

People tend to check their watches many times a day. So they're already watching their wrist plenty, so why not look there to watch movies and video clips as well? Actually I could think of plenty of reasons like ergonomics, a tiny screen and likely poor audio just to name a few. However, if you are struck with the desire to purchase a product where you can do just that, you might as well buy one that looks good. This little PMP watch from Epoq has a leather strap and a good looking metal body. Read The Full Story

Remember, it’s all relative

, Mar 26th 2007 Discuss [0]

Some people say that you can tell a lot about a person by the watch that they wear. I'm not really sure who said that, probably someone that makes watches. I've always wondered what those kind of people think about me, since I don't wear a watch. Here's a watch that I'm pretty sure either says “I'm much smarter than you” or “I'm really weird.” It really depends on who you ask. The Relativity Watch features numbers that are always in motion, which correlates with Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Therefore it means that you're really smart. However, you've really got to look at this thing for a minute to actually figure out what time it is. That would be why you're really weird if you wear one. If I wore a watch, I'd probably wear one of these. Not because it will let people know that I'm really weird or smart, but because I want to see the look on their faces when they ask me the time and I show them the watch. Not only will they wonder why the numbers move, but they'll likely wonder why the numbers 1 and 8 were replaced by the letters i and e. The Relativity Watch [via uberreview]

ThinkGeek wages war against deep sleep

, Feb 26th 2007 Discuss [0]

Look, this clock is called the Sonic Bomb - it has an alarm capable of being cranked up to 113db and, if that's not enough to shift you, there's a remote vibration unit which slips under your mattress and wibbles you awake - and even though it's advertised as being bloody loud I'm certain someone will injure their ears with it and sue ThinkGeek for medical costs.
