Garmin’s D2 GPS Watch Puts an Entire Cockpit on a Pilot’s Wrist

A lot of watches claim to be designed for use by pilots, but just because they have an orange backlight to preserve night vision doesn’t mean they’re truly useful for aviation. That’s not the case with Garmin’s new D2 GPS watch, though. It seemingly puts an entire cockpit’s worth of instrumentation and data on a…

Samsung’s First Galaxy Gear Spot Looks a Whole Lot Like an iPhone Ad

Sure, tech ads repeat the same tropes over and over and over. But as The Week points out, Samsung’s first ad for Galaxy Gear is strikingly similar to Apple’s first ad for the iPhone.

There’s Finally Going to Be a Lego Watch Collection For Adults

Galaxy Gear Smartwatch Review: A Pain in the Wrist

The Galaxy Gear wants desperately to be the vanguard of a new era of wearable computers. But while it promises more than the rest of the pack, if anything it makes absolutely clear that the future’s still a long ways off. What Is It? The Galaxy Gear is a watch with above-average brains. It runs…

A Watch With a Gaping Hole Where the Dial and Hands Should Be

A circle is pretty much the only thing the EOTS watch from Germany’s Yesign has in common with a traditional analog watch. Where you’d normally find a circular face ringed with numbers, the EOTS features a round hole ringed with LEDs that light up to tick off the minutes and hours. Originally designed as a…

The First Color Screen GPS Watch Can Predict Your Race Times

Garmin has long been working to design GPS-equipped watches that don’t look like a monstrosity strapped to your wrist.

Compared to digital watches that let us keep tabs on time down to the second, the $125 ‘Till watch takes a more laid back approach.

Photoshop Contest: Put a Galaxy Gear Into an Iconic Historical Image

Time may just be a social construct, but it’s one of the rare bits of humanity that will more or less always remain constant.

Wait, What? No! Samsung’s Smartwatch Has a Leather Case, Too?!

There are plenty of reasons to be skeptical about the latest round of touchscreen timepieces like the Galaxy Gear, not the least of which being the fact that you’ll apparently even be able to get a faux-leather stitched case for it.
