Join Cadence 4-Bit Chronograph Watch
Do you love collecting timepieces as a hobby? For the more notable names in the industry, this can end up being a pretty expensive hobby, but the Cadence Watch Company has something special for you watch lovers in the form of the new 4-Bit Chronograph Watch. Not only does it look subtle, but it is also classy that notches up a point for geeks who want to impress their dates but without a Tag Heuer or an equivalent.
Apart from being able to tell the time (duh!), the Cadence 4-Bit Chronograph watch will also throw in the functionality of a chronograph and Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). You won’t get Arabic or Latin numerals, but rather, “see” the numbers in 4-bit binary. To recap, binary is a system of 1’s and 0’s which all computers ultimately rely on, and wearing this won’t make you look out of place even in black tie affairs.

GroClock sleep trainer helps kid hit the sack on time
Getting your kids to establish a healthy sleeping pattern can be quite challenging in this day and age, especially with so many distractions around to keep them awake such as modern toys, the iPod, handheld consoles and TV programs. You as an adult too might play a role here in influencing your child to sleep late because you have a similar pattern, but enter the GroClock to help you train your kids when it comes to sleeping.
Once you have made sure that there are no more monsters hiding around in the closet or under the bed, set the GroClock and let it work its magic. All you need to do is let your child know that when the sun shines on the GroClock, that is the time he/she is supposed to get up. And when they are about to go to bed and knock off, that is when the stars come out to play. Sort of like a Pavlovian response, don’t you think so?
Your $44.99 investment doesn’t end there when they grow up though, as they can always switch on the digital clock option when that happens, giving them a better idea by connecting the time with the appearances of the stars and sun. Neat!
Karlsson Projection Clock
Projection clocks are nothing new, but there are new iterations from time to time – although you would not expect the technological jump to be as drastic as that of a computer or smartphone. The Karlsson Projection Clock that comes in either black or silver shades are now available for pre-order (shipping commences a couple of days later) for £69.99 each, and what can you expect out of them?
Never mind about wall clocks – a clock wall is what you need, and the Karlsson Projection Clock will fill up this gap without missing a beat. This will be a mains-powered timepiece (obviously, considering the amount of juice you need to get it going) and will beam an analog clock face, alongside a sweeping second hand for that added touch of reality. Capable of working up to 8 meters away, it has an LED life of 40,000 hours.
That translates to slightly more than 4 years of non-stop running – not too shabby, eh? Of course, a solitary AA battery can also be used to power this, but we would prefer to have it hooked up to the mains at all times so that you won’t inadvertently run late should the AA battery run out.
Garmin Forerunner 610 sports watch
Do you participate in triathlons as though it was a walk in the park? Those who nod their head in agreement would want to get a timepiece that is capable of living up to their highly active lifestyle – we’re talking about the Garmin Forerunner 610 sports watch. As you know, Garmin deals mostly with GPS navigation systems, and when they aren’t dreaming up of better ways to let you know where you’re going, along comes an idea like a GPS watch.
This slim, robust and weatherproof touchscreen device will cater for serious runners who want an advantage during their routines, as the Garmin Forerunner 610 is capable of shrugging off water like a duck, and is responsive enough to work even when you’re wearing running gloves. Basically, the Forerunner 610 intends to stick to you like a barnacle, coaching you at every single step to help you cross the finish line in the fastest time possible.

Devon Tread 1 Watch
You can be rich, and then there is the category of being super rich. While the former would mean getting this timepiece without causing too much damage to your bank accounts, the latter would probably scoff at the amount as being “cheap”. Just what kind of watch are we talking about here? The Devon Tread 1 Watch, of course, which will burn a £15,000 hole in your pocket.
This just goes to show that n
ot all wristwatches are created equal, and many high-end timepieces tend to come with jewels to jack up the value, all the while looking rather similar to one another regardless of brand, and more or less using virtually identical tick tock technology. The Devon Tread 1 Watch is radically different, since it relies on a quartet of compact microstep motors to power a series of exposed glass-nylon belts which in turn will adjust the time and date.
Now that’s mesmerizing for sure, and you’ve more or less got a masterpiece of movement on your wrist right there. Not only that, the steel case of this puppy is comprised of a scratch-resistant bullet proof polycarbonate casing, while a rechargeable cell inside can work for up to a couple of weeks on a single charge. At last, a watch that doesn’t need an insane amount of baubles to justify an expensive price tag.
Check out this Konect USB watch!
What you are seeing here is the Konect USB watch, and it appears to be designed for our post watch era. Seriously, I haven’t used a watch since I got my cellular phone, and I’m guessing that I am not alone.
The Konect comes with a slot for a USB drive, and it does more than just keep it safe. The user will be able to access any tunes that are on the USB. Something tells me that you might want to get some USB 3.0 action in on this.
You will notice that I did say this was a watch, so where is the clock? Actually, it is one of those clocks that you’ll probably have to take a while to learn how to read. Seriously, how do you read this? It looks like just a blue and white circle to me.

Wake Up with a Stripper?
Okay, I have always had male friends, so I have been privy to more “man stories” than I would care to recount. While I have always enjoyed being one of the boys, some stuff took a while for me to understand. I would never tell them, but there are definitely some boy things that I could have been happier not knowing, but now that I get it, I’m sorry to bring to your attention, the Pole Dancer Alarm Clock.
Here’s a chance to wake up to a buxom bikini-clad blonde spinning and twirling seductively around a pole as ba-chika-chika-ba music plays and cool colored lights flash on and off, she may be made of plastic, just like most… oh never mind. To hear it told most men don’t care what their woman are made of.

The Video Surveillance Clock Sees All
In this day and age, we have the ability to know everything that’s going on in our lives, even when you’re not there. With the advent of the surveillance camera, we have become privy to whats happening in our streets and shops, or even what our kids are up to while they’re at pre-school. Parking lots, airports, the grocery store, somebody is always watching us. It got me to wondering, whats going on in my house when I’m not home.
Not that I don’t trust my husband, but I know I’m not the only one who wonders whats going on when I’m not looking, so in order to “catch” my husband telling people on the phone how wonderful I am, or walking around the house muttering to himself how much he misses me while hugging my pillow (hey, it’s my story, I’ll tell it the way I want to!) I’m thinking about the Video Surveillance Clock.This small (2 3/4″ Diam. x 3/4″ D ) analog clock has a built-in, motion-activated video surveillance camera that records both audio and video and takes photographs too, it’s just perfect for checking out the action in a room or office.
