Are you in the company of tight lipped people who cannot tell the difference between a joke and prime time news? Perhaps they need something to jolt them back into the world of toilet humor, giving their facial muscles a much needed smile after frowning for too long a time. The Universal Bulls**t Detector Watch could be just the funny tonic required, featuring all the usual trappings of a wristwatch (it tells the time, d-uh!) complete with flashing sounds, moos, and even the occasional poop.

This is one of the coolest spy cameras I’ve come across. It’s disguised as a clock (nothing too revolutionary there) but what is really cool is how it broadcasts the video.

The LukWerks Spy Camera uses the powerlines that it’s plugged into to send the video to the receiver which in turn is connected to your PC. So you simply plug the clock into a socket in the room you want to monitor and you can then watch the resulting video from either your PC or over the Internet.

The starter package costs $329.99 to which you can add upto an additional 5 cameras (though if you have the same clock in every room people may get a tad suspicious).

Hat tip to Micah from wiLife for bringing this cool clock to our attention.

How many of you actually own some kind of home weather station at home? Most of the time, these personal weather stations offer nothing more than a myriad of readings that range from barometric pressure to the level where the mercury is at. The Animated Weather Forecaster is slightly different from the rest of the offerings as it comes with a miniature weatherman inside. This digitized avatar actually looks more like a boy who just hit puberty than anything else, but I’ll let that slip by for the moment. I guess the overall kiddy look is due to the fact that this device targets the children’s market rather than adults.

This is a cool clock for the dart enthusiast, the Dartboard Wall Clock. Just don’t throw any real arrows at it.

Available from Drink Stuff for £14.99.

The Seiko Earth watch is a cool looking time piece, instead of having boring old hands it contains a small rotating 3D Earth and just like the real Earth it does a full rotation over the space of 24 hours.

The watch itself is made out of light weight titanium (which may be reflected in the price) and to tell the time there is a small time zone indicator for the hour and a “small orange dot” to indicate the minutes, which may be slightly more readable than a binary watch but who’s buying this just to tell the time.

The one major drawback to wearing the Earth on your wrist is the price, coming in at $499.99 it’s not exactly cheap though on the plus side this will certainly add to it’s uniqueness. The Rotating Earth Watch is available at Think Geek, found via HD Gadgets.

Looks like Coolest Gadgets is going on an alarm clock spree, with the Motivational MP3 Alarm Clock mentioned earlier followed by this Puzzle Alarm Clock that comes with the manufacturer’s guarantee of waking you up. If pouring cold water on your face or sprinkling frozen marbles all over you bed still fails to get you out of bed, perhaps the Puzzle Alarm Clock will be able to help. When the appointed time arrives to open your eyes, the four puzzle pieces connected to the Puzzle Alarm Clock will be fired up in the air – followed by an incessant ringing that will not stop until you manage to find all four pieces and place them back into the clock itself.

This is one minimalistic looking watch, the Dish Digital by Fossil.

Instead of having moving hands like regular analogue watches or LCD numbers like their digital equivalents it uses the LCD to display the hands with no numbers in sight, weird.

You can have your own for $95 from Amazon, found first on Product Dose.

Emtrace are showing their new WidgetStation in pre-release form this year. It’s an internet connected desk clock with two screens capable of displaying “Widgets” – small pieces of content that grab different bits of internet content. Stock ticker, weather, whatever – it’s all there quietly cycling around on the displays. It’s a nice piece of design and would look good on the average geek’s desk.

It should be available later this year, prices yet to be determined.
