EIN Cyber Heartbeat LED watch does not actually read your heartbeat

, Jan 15th 2009 Discuss [0]

Japan has gotten another odd yet stylish device, this time it’s in the form of an interesting watch.

The Sleek Audio and Plantronics Giveaways may be closed to new entries – we’ll be announcing the winners later on today – but that doesn’t mean there are no more opportunities to win prizes.  Tokyoflash have given us a piece of history from their watch museum, in the shape of the classic Radio Active Active Reactor.  No longer available to buy, we’re giving one reader the opportunity to win what’s perhaps the most iconic timepiece Tokyoflash have produced.  In addition, a further two people will win their choice of watch from the current Tokyoflash collection.

Mobiado Professional 105GMT Gold is a Mechanical Watch Phone

, Dec 8th 2008 Discuss [0]

A cell phone to me is a technology based electronic devices that hold no collective value compares to a sentiment item like a mechanical watch.

But the Canadian has a unique way of making luxury cell phone worth more than its monetary value. Read The Full Story

Tokyoflash Ni watch: so complex it has to explain itself?

, Dec 2nd 2008 Discuss [0]

Tokyoflash have announced another watch, and it seems the readout on the Ni is so confusing that they've actually had to annotate the LEDs.  Rows of lights are embedded into the horizontally-grooved stainless steel case, and at the touch of a button the LEDs illuminate in turn from top to bottom to let you add up exactly what time it is.
