Master & Dynamic gets all black and blue with Bamford Watch Department

By Bill Henderson / June 18, 2017 / News / Bluetooth headphones, Watches and Clocks / Leave a Comment

Headphones that sound as good as they look are rare. Master & Dynamic headphones are an exception. The MH40 headphones are classically designed, impeccably made and sound really good. I’m now testing their wireless MW50 headphones and am liking what I’m hearing. A full review is coming soon. That said, Master & Dynamic has taken

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

If you own an Apple Watch and you’re anything like me you’re constantly looking for new and unique bands to show it off. If you peruse Amazon there are literally thousands of choices but most of them are just cheaper replicas of watch bands that are already offered by Apple. I present to you the

Mesqool AM/FM projection alarm clock review

By William Stewart / March 11, 2017 / Reviews / Clocks, Watches and Clocks / Leave a Comment

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

Supcase UB Pro Rugged and Unicorn Beetle Bumper cases will help protect your Apple Watch

By Andy Jacobs / December 21, 2016 / News / Apple Watch, Cases and Covers, Watches and Clocks / 1 Comment

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

Caliper VIEW A1O mechanical watch review

By Julie Strietelmeier / November 27, 2016 / Reviews / Watches and Clocks / 1 Comment

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

IPEAK wake up light review

By Andy Chen / November 17, 2016 / Reviews / LED lamp, Sleep, Watches and Clocks / 4 Comments

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.

Want a Nixie tube clock but don’t like steampunk? No problem!

By Janet Cloninger / October 20, 2016 / News / Clocks, Watches and Clocks / 1 Comment

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

Analog meets digital with SKAGEN smartwatches

By Julie Strietelmeier / October 6, 2016 / News / Smartwatch, Watches and Clocks / 3 Comments

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
