A Complete Guide to Watching Your Favorite Shows (Legally) Without Paying a Dime

You can spend up to $100 a month for various cable and satellite services to watch the new season of programming that began this week. Or, if you've got an internet connection and are willing to be a little more creative than buying episodes for $2 off Amazon Unbox or iTunes, you can view most of it for free. There are limitations, of course, but after digging through each channel's website, I found the sheer amount of cost free (and often commercial free) content to be staggering—even for the traditional "cable" channels.

So here's how you get it.

Five-Faced Diesel Watch: Screw You, Midwestern States

So, what if you don't live in the same time zone as New York, LA, Tokyo, Paris or London? Well, that means this Diesel Timepiece would be nothing more to you than a gaudy way to buff up your watch arm. Fortunately, a thinner, daintier version exists for those wishing to forgo the pre-ordained cities for five choices of your own. All you have to do is remember which one is which. Available for $550 and $495 respectively. More »

Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch First NASA Certified for All Space Missions

The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch designed by NASA back in the '70s puts your puny Earthwatch to shame, because it's the first watch that's NASA certified for ALL space missions. Its anodized aluminum body can withstand temperatures from -148 to +260° Celsius, and its sassy red exterior is sure to impress any ladyaliens you meet on your travels. There's no confirmed price, but with a limited run of less than 2,000, we're betting it won't come cheap. If you can afford to go to space, you can afford one of these. [Josh Spear]

Casio G-Shock G8100A-5 Wristwatch is Barely Steampunk

Seriously, this steampunk thing is getting out of hand. Like with this Casio G-Shock G8100A-5 wristwatch. They took a Casio watch, slapped on some bronze paint, and now everyone and their steam-powered mechanical dog is calling it steampunk. Enough! If you're going to charge $100 for a bronze-colored watch and have people start calling it steampunk, it had damn well better come powered by a miniature lever-pulling version of K.W. Jeter.

Gizmodo Alum Sells Book For More Money Than He's Worth

Congrats to Gizmodo alum John Biggs, now at Crunchgear, for selling a book about Marie Antoinette's watch for $300,000. He first told me about this book about two years ago over a crappy sandwich and soda—it was my treat, I believe—and detailed how this impressive timepiece was passed down over several generations. Apparently six publishing houses had much more interest in this book than I did, since they paid THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR IT. I believe you owe me a lunch, Bigglesby. [Observer]

USB Watch is Deconstructed Electronic Geekiness In Action

This concept USB watch, dubbed "Timeless" is either a fabulously ironic piece of deconstructivist electronic art, or a geeky overload. Whichever way you look at it, it's kinda neat: basically it's a simple digital watch, with an internal battery that's charged when you plug it into a USB socket. And then the same USB socket plugs back into the watch face, secured with PCB mount-style latches, with the ribbon cable as a strap. It's a concept... but I could rattle off a pretty long list of people I know who'd probably love to own one. [DesignBrothers via CoolestGadgets]

AK Geneve HMS Automatic Warp Watch Is Nigh Indestructible, Inspired by Star Trek

Timepiece designer Arny Kapshitzer is a big fan of Star Trek, and that shows in his latest creation, the HMS Automatic Warp Watch. While it won't take you Warp 9 anytime soon, it does have a ton of carbon fiber, and the perfluorinated, hypoallergenic rubber wristband is impervious to "all acids." From the sound of that last feature, it looks there's a head nod to Ripley in there, too. More »

Caterpillar Watch Crawls 'Round Your Wrist to Tell Time

With timepieces embedded into every electronic gizmo nowadays, the humble wristwatch is on its way out, you might think. That's until you see this bizarrely cool prototype watch from designer Nicolas Lehotzky. Driven by a caterpillar-tread-alike drive, it turns the time-telling process inside out, from a virtual display into a sedate physical crawl around your wrist once every 12 hours. Brilliant! Forget the fact it looks slightly uncomfy... it's such a neat design I'd practically chop my arm off to own one, though that'd then complicate wearing it. [Gizmag]

Metal Gear Solid 4 Watch Says It's Time For Snaaaaaaake!

Not only are we gigantic fans of the Metal Gear Solid series as a whole (we're guts deep in the latest saga right now), we're also big fans of being able to tell time. That's why this limited edition MGS4 watch, given to preorder sales at UK's Gamestation, is so damn fantastic. There are only 500 of these Hideo Kojima-endorsed watches in the entire country, which makes us sad. Preorder yours now if you're a Brit and you like the action stylings of Solid, Liquid, Naked, Solidus and Old Snake. [Gamestation via Kotaku]

Nooka Glow-In-The-Dark Watches Are Just For Kanye West

Speaking of jackholes with gadgets, here's Nooka's special glow-in-the-dark Zub watches that they made for Kanye West and his "Glow in the Dark" tour. You know, Nooka, the company tha tmakes watches with dots and meters? Too bad you can't have any of these because Kanye took them all. Tough luck, sucka! Maybe when you're a multi-platinum recording artist, you too can have a gadget made just for you and then take them all. [Nookastyle via Core77]
