Why own a watch that just tells you the time when you can own one that does almost everything your smartphone would do, but can be worn right on your wrist? That's the idea behind I'm Watch ($400+), which takes the idea of the iPod Nano with the wristband a step further by incorporating an Android operating system and Bluetooth technology that can connect to your smartphone, either Apple, Android, BlackBerry, or Windows Phone 7.

Show a normal watch to a friend and chances are they'll be able to read the time without a hitch. Show of your new, stylish Nooka Zizm watch to a friend, and they might look puzzled at first.

Instead of using roman or arabic numerals to indicate the hours, each hour marker is displayed in 4-bit binary code. If you're not quite sure what that is, then the… Read More

European fashion company Nat-2 has designed a futuristic, and rather nerdy (in a good way), watch with an LED light face. The Nat-2 Time (about $82) is a pared-down timepiece that still makes a statement, with its bold, thick band and light-up display. The LED display uses a scroll system to show you the hour and then the minutes. While definitely not for the wallflower, this watch is idea for the modernist who doesn't mind getting a few… Read More

A few days ago I wrote up the tour I had of HP labs, and the device HP engineers were building for the US Military called a Super Watch really intrigued me.

MB&F's latest masterpiece covers the entire face of the watch in a 3.6mm sapphire plate (each plate takes 55 hours to produce) giving you an incredible view of the watch's movement and components.
