The problem with alarm clocks is that they wake you up in the middle of a dream, and not just you, but also all the people at your place. Furthermore, alarm clocks don’t know if you are already awake or not, and therefore they don’t know when to stop the alarm and when to continue [...]

The Eremos watch from Stauer features a stainless steel case (42mm diameter, 12mm thick) and a leather band. That’s where the similarity to regular watches ends. The Eremos is a regulator watch, which is a timepiece based on the observatory clocks of the 1800s that were so precise because they separated the hour and minutes [...]

I enjoy making stuff, and I love electronics, so I generally really like electronics kit projects. The SpikenzieLabs Solder:Time Watch Kit seems like a great option for someone like me. This is actually a hackable watch- they provide the source code and other info, as well as convenient pads on the circuit board to tap into.

The Dominus Plus app is for those of us who don’t wear a watch but still want one of those artsy timepieces that use colored light patterns to show the time. The Dominus Plus! app for iPad or the Dominus Plus for iPhone/iPod touch use colored dots to display the time. AM and PM use [...]

I really love my automatic, analogue watches, there’s just something about watching ( pun intended ) the mechanism. It’s like it’s “alive”. That being said these look really sweet. Often Tokyoflash’s watches require an advanced degree in cryptography to tell the time but the 3D Unlimited , while very different is easy to read. The [...]

In my efforts to prepare for my wife’s 40th birthday wish of us running the DisneyWorld Marathon in January 2012, not only have I been training but looking for tech gadgets to help me do so more effectively and efficiently. The first in this gadget-fitness series was the Sennheiser/Adidas MX 680i Sports earbuds which continue [...]

The Urwerk 202 Twin Turbine Hammerhead White Gold has to be one of the coolest wrist watches that I’ve seen in a long while. Time on the UR-202 is displayed using telescopic minute hands operating through the middle of three orbiting and revolving hour satellites. The UR-202 is the world’s first watch with the winding [...]

Parents have their sleep schedules disturbed by the necessity of taking care of their newborn baby, and they look forward to that mythical time when their little darling will sleep through the night.

We’ve had no shortage of Lego Star Wars-related clocks ’round these parts. So in honor of Father’s Day, check out this clock in the image of the “Dark Father” himself, the Lego Star Wars Darth Vader Minifigure Clock. Except that this “mini” figure is not so mini, as he’s a whopping 9+ inches of menacing [...]

Sure. There are a few bands on the market for the 6th gen iPod nano. OK, more than a few. Many are similar: colorful silicone or resin strap with a fun, sporty style, like the iWatchz Q Collection reviewed by Julie a few months back. But if you’re after something a bit less sporty [...]

This app-enhanced clock-radio from iLive incorporates your iPhone/iPod like no other that I’ve seen before. Without an iOS device on the dock (bottom left), it looks a bit funny because the 12 has been replaced with a digital display. Plug the iOS device in, and there’s no way to tell the time (bottom right) - [...]

There are a multitude of watchband straps for the 6th generation Apple iPod nano, and I’ve already reviewed a couple. Each strap is a little different from the others, and it may require some looking to find exactly the one you’ll like best. Some lend themselves more to using them as a sports strap while [...]

I’ve seen a lot of clocks that act as charging docks and speakers for various MP3 players, but Nyko has the first one I’ve seen designed just for a hand-held game console. The Play Clock is a clock radio that can wake you to an alarm or music. It can playback music from the built-in [...]

The Quad Mountain Ultimate One nano watchband distinguishes itself by being the only one on the market where no part of the nano touches your skin. This protects your nano from sweat damage, which won’t be covered under the warranty. The band is thin and vented where possible for comfort. The nano’s controls are all [...]

Unlike the watches that display the time in a pattern of colored lights, the 4-Bit Chrono UTC Watch from the Cadence Watch Co. looks like a typical analog watch with date and chronograph functions. The geekery is subtle in this one: the hour markers are displayed in 4-bit code with the least significant bit to [...]

This conceptual product by Michael Kritzer is called the DayMaker. This is an alarm clock, with a place for 2 iPhones and an analog clock in front. When the alarm on one of the iPhones rings, the iPhone jumps like a bread slice in a toaster. You can make it snooze by pressing it down again. In [...]
