Watch Report recently reviewed Oceanus' new 5 Motor wristwatch.

Quote: "The Oceanus 5 Motor is a further refinement of the Oceanus line. It boasts most of the features of the Oceanus Chronograph, but without the LCD in the 3 o'clock position. Why was Casio motivated to completely remove the LCD and figure out how to cram five individual motors into a single case? The point of the Oceanus 5 Motor is that it's a geeky watch that doesn't look like a geeky watch, so the fewer LCDs and LEDs, the better."

If you want to know if your skin is over baking under the intense heat of the sun on a summer day at the beach, the MINOX Suntimer Wristwatch will alert you.

Enter your skin type and other required information and this little smart device will alert you to the UV ratings, and inform you what kind of protection you need to tote in your summer bag; how long before you burn; and other information that can come in handy.  You can enjoy your summer activities a little better knowing that your watch is giving you a little more than just the time.

Now while this watch may not look too advanced, it is. This is a homemade watch that continuously runs "Pong."

"I succeeded in compressing all the electronics for this watch in to a 10mm-thick case. The 96x64 OLED display runs continuously - unlike older LED watches, there is no need to press a button to see the time. Battery life is 25 hours, so recharging is done every night," said the watch creator.

Be on the lookout for Tag Heuer’s new cell phone.  This stainless steel phone will mimic watches from the Tag Heuer’s line, though designed by ModeLabs, a French company that is a designer for MTV and Virgin Mobiles.

It maybe that LVMH, Heuer’s parent company, competitive target is Nokia’s Vertu line.

This piece of news proves that if one imagines hard enough, one will conjure up what the rest of us wouldn’t even consider.  Artist Mike Libby of South Portland, Main has given dead bugs more time, so-to-speak. Libby has turned insects into decorative time machines.

He states that he came up with the idea because insects and machines look similar on the inside.
