If I’ve blathered on about it before I do apologize but: I love watches (both wrist and pocket). I don’t wear a watch any more — I’m generally a form-follows-function kind of guy, and since there’s a clock function on my iPhone, there’s no real need. I don’t tend to accessorize; you can ask Judie [...]

LIT – the First Gadget Made for Action Sports Tracking
These days, it seems like there’s all kinds of ways of tracking your exercising if you’re doing such relatively straight-forward activities as running or walking (viz. the FitBit). Heck, even in the days before electronic gizmos achieved today’s absurd levels of market penetration–back in the days of cars that had carburetors, say–there were devices that [...]
Pebble E-Paper Watch for iPhone and Android Review
Back in early May of 2012, Dan posted an article about both Judie and him supporting the Pebble Watch Kickstarter project. The project became noteworthy in that it became one of the most heavily supported Kickstarter projects in Kickstarter history. Initially hoping to raise $100,000, it meet that goal two hours after going live. In less than [...]
Slickwraps Add Colorful Skins to Your New Pebble Watch
The other day I received my Kickstarter Pebble Watch in the mail, and I was excited as you might imagine. However, as I began to use it, I quickly noticed how well the device face ergonomics might lend itself to skinning and screen protection. As it turns out, Slickwraps.com has released attractive skins to do just [...]

Martian Watch Gets Smarter with iOS App
For us, one of the CES 2013 hits was the rapidly emerging smart watch category. During the Electronics Show Judie attended a media event from the makers of the Pebble smart watch, we saw many wearing the I’m Watch as the company tried to stealth promote their (mostly disappointing) offering, and we spent over an [...]
Tokyoflash Kisai X Watch – Time Decryption Skills Required
Earlier today, Tokyoflash announced the latest addition to the 2013 lineup, the Kisai X. The X takes me back a bit with Tokyoflash due to the fact that you really have to know how to “decode the time” to read the watch. On most of their current lineup, the time if very simple to read. I’m [...]
Tokyoflash OTO Watch Goes Concept-to-Reality
One of the great things about Tokyoflash is that they take fan and user feedback and concepts, and then they bring them to reality. The latest creation to come out of the Tokyoflash labs is the user designed Kisai OTO. A German fan submitted this design to the concept blog, it was voted on, and Tokyoflash [...]
New Color Changing LED Watch From Tokyoflash
I might have mentioned it, but I don’t wear wrist-watches any more. I have a very nice Tag Heuer watch that I got during the 90s boom years from Silicon Graphics, but for a while my wrist got too fat to wear it (and I’m too lazy and cheap to have it adjusted), and even [...]
Martian Watches Land at CES 2013
During CES, Judie and I had the opportunity to sit down with Martian Watches to chat about their product, the experience of going on Kickstarter in order to first promote and back it, and to gain some insight into their thoughts about the overall smart watch market. We both came away impressed by the product itself [...]
Gear Diary’s First Ever CES Top Picks!
You may have noticed over the years that, unlike many other sites, we don’t give stars or other quantitative scores to the items we review. The reason for this is quite simple: while there may be quantitative aspects to a device review — an example being a laptop that claims to get ten hours of [...]
Why Is Garmin the Gold Standard in GPS Watches?
My first day on the CES floor, I saw the Garmin booth. I bypassed the various dedicated GPS units, and headed right for the display of Forerunners in all their glory. Along the way, I was stopped by one of Garmin’s reps, and when I explained how excited I was to see their booth because [...]
COOKOO Available at AT&T Store
As a guy (and about the farthest thing from a fashion-conscious Metrosexual that you can imagine–I mean, Sami helps me match my pants to my shirts), I have always viewed watches as a functional item. Yeah, I wanted it to have cool gizmos on it–preferably be some kind of fancy chronograph–but that was my technonerd [...]
The Pebble Watch Press Conference
Are you one of the people who backed the Pebble watch on Kickstarter? Dan and I were, but unlike every other smartwatch that we have personally backed on the crowd funding site Kickstarter since the phenomenally successful Pebble was successfully funded, the Pebble still hasn’t shipped. We’ve been curious about the holdup; not alarmed, just [...]
Gadgets and Gear Brings You the Dr. Who Watch
Okay, yes, I’m a total nerd, but I really love it when our buddy Jason from Gadgets and Gear sends us news about an interesting new item. From Green Lantern watches to Air Guitars (with capital letters, yes) to light-up flashing shoelaces, it’s always fun for me to see what they have now. I mean, [...]
