Sony Smart Watch
Posted by admin in Cool Watches, Hot watches on May 16th, 2012
The Sony Smart Watch is a pleasant surprise, since it comes in handy in some aspects. It can be used as sort of a remote for the Xperia phones.
The watch can be connected to an Xperia phone and it allows one to read emails, texts and check out the Facebook and Twitter statuses. You can even use the Smart Watch to control phone apps, like the music player and even the camera of the handset, taking pictures of yourself, for example. This product supports around 255 widgets, which is quite a lot for such a small gadget. And here’s the feature list:
- Dimensions: 8mm thickness, 15.5 grams weight
- Design: glass display, metal case, silicone belt
- Connectivity: Bluetooth
- Display: 1.3 inch, OLED, touchscreen
- Other features: differently colored belts
The small size screen may become an issue if you have sausage fingers, but other than that it’s a pretty good idea. The preview below has some problems with the brightness of the Sony Smart Watch. Know that this gadget allows you to start voice calls using the phone’s contacts list, but the calls will require a Bluetooth headset. When you get a call and can’t answer it, you can be notified by the watch and answer that call with a predefined message.

Casio announces new G-SHOCK GB-6900 Bluetooth 4.0 watch, pairs with your phone to display calls and messages

Casio announces new G-SHOCK GB-6900 Bluetooth 4.0 watch, pairs with your phone to display calls and messages
There are a few Bluetooth watches available already, with varying levels of usefulness, but Casio’s forthcoming attempt is different. For starters, it’s a G-Shock, so is already worth the attention, and secondarily it uses the low energy Bluetooth 4.0, so is power friendly and, therefore, can run for up to 2 years on a single battery.
But we jump ahead of ourselves here, the Casio G-Shock GB-6900 looks, for all intents and purposes, like a normal G-Shock. It only comes in black, but presents the same bold and chunky plastic body that is popular amongst rap stars and, you know, the kids. And it tells the time.
It is also future-proofed for other applications, as more Bluetooth 4.0-compatible devices are devised. Take the medical profession for example, it could sync with heart rate or blood pressure monitors. Or your car in order to show, er, car things. A world of possibilities, we’re sure you’ll agree.

HM4 Thunderbolt - “Horological Machine”
Posted by admin in Cool Watches, Hot watches on April 23rd, 2012
Let’s get it out of the way. The HM4 Thunderbolt is not a watch, it’s a “horological machine.” Which just happens to be a fancy name for a watch. A really, really elaborate watch.
Created by high-end purveyors of wrist candy, MB&F, it’s claimed to be the result of three intense years of development. While that would sound too much for an ordinary watch, this stunning timepiece is certainly anything but ordinary.
The HM4 Thunderbolt sports a 54 x 52 x 24 mm aviation-inspired case that looks like the unholy union of miniature jet turbines and some weird steampunk aesthetic. With a mechanism consisting of 50 jewels and 311 individual components. The case is made from grade 5 titanium, with see-through sapphire glass sections that let you see all the mechanical wizardry that happens within.
It has its own kinetic charger, which stores up to 72 hours of standby power on the two mainspring barrels. There are two dials along the side: one for the actual time and another showing how much power remains. Strap is a hand-stitched calfskin creation (black), with a titanium and white gold buckle.

What is Duratect
Scratch-Resistant because of its Hardness
Duratect is a revolutionary technology which involves a special treatment on existing materials like stainless steel or titanium to harden the surface. Applying this technique on stainless steel, we have achieved a hardness 3 to 4 times higher by penetrating carbon from the surface in order to distort the crystal of the metal. The result is a scratch-resistant hardness for daily use.
Shiny as Brand New
When you wear a watch over a long period of time, it sometimes becomes less shiny. It is caused by slight scratches. Your watch may have slight scratches from daily use without hitting with something hard or dropping it. By making it scratch-resistant, you can wear it while maintaining its polished look, thus your watch will appear good as brand new.
Various Designs
Duratect has a further advantage. It has an improved surface hardness while still keeping the characteristics of its original material. Therefore, you can have the design using the characteristic of stainless steel or titanium finishing. The surface is “hard”, but inside is soft.

High-Complexity Harry Winston Opus 3 Watch
Posted by admin in Cool Watches, Hot watches on March 23rd, 2012
Are you one of the 50 unlucky lucky people who pre-bought the Harry Winston Opus 3 several years ago? If you haven’t given up on it yet, then good for you. The high-complexity luxury timepiece with the crazy mechanical design is actually real now.
Seven years in the making, Vianney Halter’s masterpiece encountered multiple problems during the creation of the actual prototype. The biggest stumbling block? It required unusual amounts of power to get all of the discs (see it without the case cover below) in the assembly to move.
The Harry Winston Opus 3 is a mainspring-style watch with a main display consisting of six holes, each showing one digit. You read it from top to bottom, with the left column reading the hours in 24-hour convention, the middle column displaying the day of the month and the rightmost column showing the minutes. While the time-telling seems simple enough, the mechanism that enabled that is a long ways from uninvolved.
