This watch appeals to my childish side but in a good way. It’s exactly as the suggests: a walkie talkie watch, which is also fun to say.

The Matrix watch is a little bit different then you’re normal run of the mill watch. It uses LCD bars at the top and bottom of its display to show you the time. Sound difficult? It isn’t.

I really like this concept watch from Nikita Golovlev. It’s a watch for the hearing impaired which can alert it’s wearer through vibrations of an alarm going off. This is a great way for those who live alone to remain safe.

CES 2008: Garmin Forerunner 405 Watch

By Christina Crouch on Thursday, Jan 10th 2008 No Comments

Garmin showed off it’s Forerunner 405 watch and I must say it’s pretty awesome, and coming from someone who hates watches that’s saying something. Since it’s from Garmin, it is, of course, GPS enabled but it also has a lot of other good features like speed, distance and heart rate track.

$25 Million Dollar Watch from Chopard

By Christina Crouch on Monday, Dec 24th 2007 2 Comments

I don’t wear watches. My cell phone works perfectly well as a clock. If I were going to buy a watch though, I doubt I’d spend more than $20 let only $25 million.

WiFi detecting watch from ThinkGeek

Check out this watch that also has a WiFi signal strength indicator built into it. I love watches, even more than that, I love watches that can do other cool things, such as this one with a WiFi indicator built in, all you have to do is push the button and it will give you 0-8 bars for signal strength.

PHOSPHOR Analog/Digital Ewatch with E-Ink display

By James Allan Brady on Tuesday, Dec 11th 2007 No Comments

So this watch has the analog arms (second, minute, and hour), but the face can change. It can be an analog time-telling face, a digital time face, or any number of other pre-programmed faces using the E-Ink display that makes up the face.

Watch with 1GB flash inside

By James Allan Brady on Monday, Nov 26th 2007 1 Comment

It connects via USB, and compared to some of the other USB watches I have seen, this one actually has some class to it. It’s still kind of ugly with that large blank space at the bottom of the face, but it’s a step in the right direction.

I don’t know if the USB cable is built in, or if there is a mini USB female port in the side of the watch where a cable would connect the watch to your PC. Regardless, I like the idea of combining flash storage with other objects of use, just carrying a flash drive, its easy to lose, but put that flash drive on your wrist and make it both a fashion accessory and a functional time-telling device, and you are far less likely to forget or lose it.

Nixon Makes Time With Tetris and Pong

By Christina Crouch on Friday, Nov 16th 2007 No Comments

I don’t wear watches but this one just might change my mind. Nixon has put out a watch that allows you to play a couple of retro games, Tetris and Pong. While normal watches just tell time, the Nixon watch actually lets you waste it. Just think of all the hours you can see pass you buy while living out the dream of gaming 24/7.
