Watch-phones may teeter on the border between awesome and awful, but HP's latest project for the US military sounds like it might definitely fall into the former category.  The company is apparently creating a custom next-generation watch that has - inevitably - been internally nicknamed the "Dick Tracy watch", and will use a new flexible display that can show maps and other strategic information while on the battlefield.

Ever Increasing Watch available to purchase at Yanko Design

, May 18th 2010 Discuss [0]

Apparently Yanko Design has found that while concept devices are cool, geeks will part with their money for watches that look like concepts that you can actually own. Lately there has been a rash of new watches on Yanko that you can purchase rather than the concepts we are used to seeing. Last week we spied the Avatar 1259B Watch that you could purchase for $159.

Every time I hear the name Tokyoflash I automatically think about watches that you need an instruction book to tell time on. The latest offering from the company is the Kisai Round Trip Pocket watch and its case design reminds me a bit of the Kisai Escape C Bluetooth pendant we talked about back in February.

Scope Watch is perfect for replicants

, May 5th 2010 Discuss [0]

Back in the day I watched Blade Runner with my dad and though that it was pretty cool, but I kept wondering where Han had parked the Millennium Falcon. I haven't seen that flick in years now despite it being one of the coolest sci fi films ever. If you are a big fan you may recall that interesting watch Harrison Ford wore. Read The Full Story
