Fully Loaded Cell Phone Watch

GRK — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 06:09:25 +0000

This powerful new Cell Phone Watch gadget is surely a collector’s item. Its got all the functions of a normal cell phone put into a small, simple platform-a wrist watch. The fully loaded cell phone watch features a 1.3-inch touchscreen display, a 1.3MP digital camera , MP3/MP4 playback, 2GB microSD card support and Bluetooth. All this and you would think that it would be too big for ur arm; but the cell phone wrist watch is only 65×45x18 mm in dimension and wieghs only 56 gms.

The cell phone watch has an A2DP bluetooth system with a bluetooth headset so u dont have to connect it directly to the watch. It also has GPRS, so you can surf the net or download while on the move. The switches are neatly placed and the camera faces outward which is very convenient while recording a video or clicking a picture. The package also includes a stylus, charger for the watch, charger for the bluetooth headset, user manual and a data transfer cable.

The cell phone watch is on sale for $155 wholesale price. Expect it to cost around $160-$170, which is not so expensive considering the number of apps it has and the ease with which all that can be used.

Concord C1 Quantum Gravity watch

We’re still trying to wrap our heads around some of the indecipherable verbiage the company has used to describe it, but it looks like Concord’s C1 QuantumGravity watch is at last very much real, and one step closer to actually being available (to a very select few).

As you can see above, while there’s still a few finishing touches remaining, the watch itself is pretty faithful to all those early renders that the company has been teasing us with since January, right down to the magical “fluorescent nanoparticle liquid” that’s used to indicate the life remaining in the 3-day power reserve. Those curious about all things mechanical and tiny can also get a look at the complete build process by hitting up the read link below, or simply head on past the break for a video full of much spinning and unnecessary Matrix-style imagery.

Kogan GPS Watch

Last week it was their first netbook; before that, Android smartphones. Now Kogan have set their sights on our wrists, but be warned: you’ll have had to do some serious arm exercises before wearing the Kogan GPS Watch. Billed as “the most feature packed watch on the market”, it’s a combination Bluetooth, GPS, pedometer, altimeter timepiece, among other things.

Kogan suggest you could use the GPS Watch to record your exercise and plot your routes on Google Earth; alternatively you can keep a track of positioning while mobile, to make sure you don’t misplace your car. It also works as a temperature sensor and speedometer, together with having the usual sports watch functionality of alarm, stopwatch and timer.

Since it has integrated Bluetooth you can also pair the watch with a laptop, smartphone or PDA, making it a tethered GPS receiver. In fact the one thing Kogan don’t mention is exactly how much it weighs or what its exact measurements are. The Kogan GPS Watch is available now, priced at AUS$129 (US$85).

Garmin FR Fitness Watch

GRK — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 16:26:57 +0000

Watches today do more than watches could do in the past. I have seen watches that have cell phones built-in and watches that connect to the Internet. Garmin is a brand closely associated with GPS devices, but the company has a wider range of products and has introduced a new watch.

It would be easy to assume that the new watch offers GPS capability, but it doesn’t. The watch monitors data from your workouts and saves it for wireless transmission to your computer for analysis. The watch is compatible with any ANT+ fitness device like heart rate monitors, foot pods, or home and gym equipment.

The FR60 comes in men’s and women’s versions that can track and record data for up to 15 hours and 100 laps of detailed exercise data. The watch is also water resistant for tracking workouts involving swimming. Once data is recorded, it is sent to a Garmin software application for analysis. Pricing and availability information is unknown.
