Ventura SPARC rx Watch

Priced at about $2,200, this watch probably won’t make it into my stocking this Christmas but it does look pretty cool. The SPARC rx has a rotating face that turns it from a standard watch into a Nike-esque sports watch with just one twist. The case is made of Durinox, which is up there with…

New Nooka Models

Nooka has been quiet for a while but they just dropped seven new models including the ZEN series and ZAN. Nooka, designed by Matthew Waldman, is a pretty cool boutique line of digital and analog watches. For a while all they had were the ZOO and ZOT but these new models, including a weird one…

Vogard Watch – Wake Up Somewhere Else

The Vogard is a nice piece of wrist machinery. It’s basically a nice automatic watch with a unique system for changing timezones. When you land in Tokyo, simply flip out the bezel lock and turn the outer ring to the proper city. Both the big 24-hour hand—the one that looks like a triangle—and the outer…

Twelve 5-9 G Not Wireless, It’s A Watch

If you demand another totally unreadable watch, this is for you. The Twelve 5-9 Version G watch is the latest monstrosity from TokyoFlash. You tell the time via the 27 precision cut holes in the metal timepiece. How, you ask? The top grid represents the hours, the center part has the 10x minutes grid, and…

Roxy Deep Tide Watch – Waving, Not Drowning

The surf, Dude, is up. The Roxy Deep Tide Watch gives you tide tables for 200 beaches on 5 continents and even includes a “surf heat timer” which goes off when that impetuous Ryan punches another stoner on the OC. It’s water resistant to 10 ATM and is mostly for girls, but I guess guys…

Erotic Wristwatches – Oh, You Rakish Gent

The erotic watch has always been a dirty little secret in the watchmaking industry. These watches were made for lads about town who wanted a bit of jerky hardcore sex before the era of QuickTime and PSP PR0N. Tiny figures were attached to the parts of the watch and they moved about, thrusting and parrying…

Low End Theory

The Army Wants You…To Enjoy Cheap Electonics By Brendan I. Koerner Growing up in Los Angeles, I had few greater pleasures than strolling the aisles at my local Army surplus store—a dank, musty joint called Doughboys. Amidst the shelves filled with thermal undies and canvas tents, you could find all sorts of interesting military flotsam;…

XRay LED Watch

I have a soft spot for LED watches and the guy who sells these, Simon in the UK, comes out with a new one every fifteen minutes or so. This is the XRay, which looks kind of like a TV. Brushed case, red face, and sexy glowing numerals. What more could you ask for? He’s…

Walkie Talkie Watch

People may say that Walkie Talkie’s have lost their appeal since we were children, but people are managing to release cool gadgets like this to spark my appeal and completely forget about the slew of cell phones, pagers, push-to-talks, and string/can gadgets in my pocket. The range on this goes upwards of 1.5 miles outdoors…

TokyoFlash Morse Code Watch

TokyoFlash is making a name for themselves in the watch market. These watches that they are selling look cool as hell, but are a little less than practical. This is the same company that brought us the highly anticipated equalizer watch. Now they have a watch tells the time by giving the morse code audibly…

Doraemon Watch Madness

Japan just can’t get enough of the nutty blue robot cat known as Doraemon. This time, Doraemon has his new watch which actually looks pretty sleek. This is no ordinary watch, however. This is a data watch. Coming in 64MB or 128MB sizes, and silver or black color schemes, the watch can store all your…

Toyota’s Wireless Key Watch Thing

Toyota is working on a new handy gadget to go with their line of Crown cars. They are working in conjunction with Citizen to develop a watch that transmits a radio signal to the car once the hand gets close enough. Basically, you grab the door handle and the door unlocks. They also plan on…

TokyoFlash Equalizer Watch Reviewed (Verdict: Flashy)

Here’s a review of the bizarre-looking High Frequency Equalizer wristwatch that’s been bouncing around for a while. The watch, which was reengineered “9 times until perfected,” uses just a new technology with just one LED to fully illuminate the entire face, making it extremely bright. And although it looks really complicated, it seems to be…

Tissot Navigator 3000 Reviewed (Verdict: Touchable)

I’ve always loved the T-Touch line but never picked one up because I prefer automatics and manual wound watches—kind of an escape from the geekery I have to deal with all day. However, the Navigator aka the T-Navigator is tickling my fancy. Friend of Gizmodo, WatchReport, writes that this world-time T-Touch watch is pretty nice.…

Equalizer Wristwatch

The Cutting Edge Technology out of Tokyo is releasing the High Frequency Equalizer wristwatch. The manufacturers have really high expectations for this watch. They are claiming that people are going to go bananas over this and Tokyo Flash is going to limit sales to two per person. I don’t want to be the bearer of…

Seiko Worldwide Atomic Solar Watch

This watch, part of the Seiko Brightz line, can synchronize with most of the atomic time server around the world—hence the “worldwide” moniker. It also shows world time, runs on solar power, and apparently can fix its own hands if they are thrown off kilter. Available in Asia this month, expect to see them here…

Hopefully the USB watch fad is fading, but if you’re still interested in wearing a huge hunk of flash memory on your wrist, this might be the way to go. The Mr. Gadget Executive watch—name sucks—is acceptably styled and features a Citizen quartz chronograph movement, a massive improvement over the previous versions I’ve seen. It…
