News, reviews and articles about watches and clocks.
Ever since I purchased my Apple Watch I’ve become obsessed with watch bands for it. Now, I don’t own that many YET, but I love to peruse all of the new and unique designs that come out. Juuk has designed a band that’s made of aircraft- grade aluminum. A watch band made out of […]
If you think that smartwatches only come from companies that have a fruit or a green robot as their logo, then let me introduce you to Martian smartwatches. While they may not be a true smartwatch with a color touch screen and the ability to run apps, Martian watches offer a basic set of functions and

How many of you wake to sounds from your smartphone, charging on or near your bed? How many of you still have a clock in your bedroom for timekeeping (not for decoration)? These two questions will determine your interest in the latest gadget to cross my review desk: the Sandman Alarm Clock.

This projection alarm clock is pretty cool. It has a lot of features most radio alarm clocks have, and a few that are not so common. My favorite function on this clock, of course, is the ability to project the time onto the ceiling. I love this because I always sleep on my back, and

I really like the Apple Watch. Or at least the idea of the Apple Watch. But for all its amazing-seeming functionality, it just doesn’t seem like it would be tough enough for me. I’d want to wear it 24/7 and for the activities that I engage in, it would need to be pretty durable. The folks

We’ve reviewed quite a few smartwatches including ones from Martian (see related links at the end of this post), but this is the first smartwatch that I’ve heard of that has Amazon Alexa cloud-based voice service built-in. Like the Amazon Echo and Echo Dot, the Martian mVoice watch can be used to ask Alexa to

The best thing about a wrist watch is that they can tell you the time whenever you look at your wrist. But the worst thing about most watches is that they run on batteries and batteries need replacing or recharging. I say “most” watches run on batteries because not all of them do. Today I

Many years ago I created my own “wake up light” by setting up a timer to a lamp next to my bed. It was clumsy and blasted full light in the morning. Now there’s a more refined way to achieve the same results with the IPEAK wake up light.

We’ve shown you several Nixie tube clocks, chess sets, and thermometers over the years, but they all were steampunk in style. Many of them were also kits that you needed to assemble yourself. ThinkGeek has two Nixie tube clocks from Nuvitron that don’t require assembly, and they aren’t steampunk. Both clocks use new old-stock tubes

I recently reviewed a unit that I’ve been using for almost a year to recharge my Apple Watch on the go – the Pod from Nomad. This week, though, I was sent a test unit of a similar device that not only does what the Pod does, but also fixes the few qualms I had

Most smartwatches look like smartwatches. But the SKAGEN Hagen Connected Hybrid Smartwatch looks more like a classic analog watch and as far as I’m concerned, that’s not a bad thing. SKAGEN’s watches are available with four traditional analog style watch faces, 20mm wristband styles, and have digital features that include: Automatic date and time adjustment

One of the most interesting innovations that the Apple Watch brought, in my book, is the method for attaching bands to the main unit. Rather than loop materials through a spring-loaded pin inserted into the ears of the watch body, you simply slide the band into place and it locks there. To remove it, there

About a year ago, Nomad, those folks who understand wandering Gadgeteers and their need for on-the-go charging, released a product called the Pod for Apple Watch. It’s basically a battery that has an internal spool to hold a charging puck (not provided) in a compact, hockey-puck sized case. I was working at Apple at the
