It’s a simple, elegant, all-in-one solution! See your photos, see the time, or see both—the watch can superimpose the time over your pictures. Watch stores up to 60 pictures and displays them on a high-resolution LCD display. You can view one picture at a time, choose a slideshow, or adjust the contrast. Plug and play technology means no software necessary—just drag and drop photo files on your computer desktop to download. It’s easy to crop and edit pictures, too. Watch is USB rechargeable, with up to 8 hours viewing time per charge. Contoured stainless-steel case and black leather watch band.

The Brookstone Digital Photowatch can be picked up for $99.95.

Crazy clock tells time with tiny sticks

by Chris

Crazy clock

It seems that the world is obsessed with crazy clocks. You’ve got your alarm clocks that make sure you have to get out of bed in the morning, clocks made from old computer parts, and crazy clocks that are almost useless for telling time, but are still awesome. This one would fall into the latter category.

Van Der Led WM2 Watchphone

Van Der Led WM2 Watchphone

Remember how Dick Tracy used his watch as a communicator? Considering the last incarnation of Dick Tracy came out in 1990, I’m not surprised if you don’t. Let’s try this one: Remember when Michael Knight used his watch to talk to KITT? I’m sure anyone eighteen years of age or younger has no idea what I’m talking about.

Well, here’s a wrist communicator that anyone from any generation can understand: the Van Der Led WM2 Watchphone. I have only three words to say about this: “Yeah, baby, yeah!”

Bulbdial Clock

Bulbdial Clock

I don’t know if you ever notice our “categories” for Coolest Gadgets, but many of them are pretty descriptive. One of them is “Cool Clocks”, and when I saw the Bulbdial clock, I knew I just had to write about it under that category.

As you can see, the Bulbidal is an electric clock that thinks it is a sundial. Instead of using the natural energy of the sun, it uses miniature streetlights that spin around the post. There is an hour hand, a minute hand, and a fast moving second hand. All these combine to give you a time that is a lot more accurate than your everyday sundial.

Suunto Core Watch

by Edwin

suunto-core.jpgThere is a new Suunto Core watch in town, and this one, like its predecessors, cater to folk who love the great outdoors, especially climbers, mountain bikers and other adventure sports enthusiasts. It allows you to track both your altitude and bearings while being smart enough to alert you of oncoming storms so you won’t be caught unawares. All this is made possible by Suunto’s own ‘ABC functionality’ mantra that includes an altimeter, barometer and compass. The compass itself is electronic, so there will be less chances of it malfunctioning compared to a standard model. The new Suunto Core watch comes in a choice of half a dozen colors and has different straps to choose from.

Cool Clock recycles old computer gear

by Chris

CD Drive Clock

If you’re like me, you’ve probably acquired a massive amount of old gadgets and computer parts. There are times where I have to just close my eyes and start throwing stuff out because I need the closet space. For some reason I always think that I’ll get around to finding a use for that old Pentium II or 8x CD burner. While I probably won’t actually use them, someone has figured out a good use for old optical drives. Just turn them into clocks.

DigitalRise M600i GSM Phone Watch

by Edwin

m600i.jpgAnother day, another GSM phone that comes in the form of a watch. This time, we have the M600i to tickle our fancy, being unlocked and ready to hit the airwaves in Australia and Europe.

This M600i watch mobile phone comes with features like a built-in 1.3 megapixel camera, touchscreen hand writing messaging, MP3/MP4 player, Video recording, Bluetooth connectivity, and an Internet browser. Its support of extensible microSD memory cards makes it extremely attractive for your next phone choice. This Dual band 900/1800MHZ mobile phone can be used for worldwide except North America. Call your cell phone service provider to confirm.

It retails for AU$340, and you ought to use this with a Bluetooth headset of some sort since you would look (and sound) rather daft, carrying out a conversation where everyone else around you will be able to hear.

D/A Clock: Time for Coolness

by Mark R

D/A Clock

Every once in a while, a clock comes out that is so cool, you can’t help but wonder why you haven’t see it before. This is certainly the case with the D/A clock. I’m not certain what the D/A stands for, but it has one of the most unique, yet obvious, looks for a clock.

I’m not certain whether you can see this from the photo, but this clock has special sections that physically rise up to show the digital time. This clock is made of wood as well as Dupont Corian, which is used on countertops.

The clock is the product of designer Alvin Aronson, who is a student at the Rhode Island School of Design, and he is destined to be at the top of his class. If Mr. Aronson can produce designs like these as a student, the he has a bright future ahead of him outside of college.
