The Scosche iPod Wrist Remote Control is not exactly a watch, but looks like one. Only missing feature: It does not tell the time.

Most people our days anyway use their mobile phone to check the time, so it is not a real dissadvantage of the Scosche iPod remote to not tell the time. The iPod wrist remote works via RF. A small adapter has to be placed on the iPod. Apparently it does not work with the new iPod video.

The Scosche iPod Wrist Remote Control sells on Amazon.com for $49.99.

Tissot designed the T-Race watch around mountain bike and high speed motorcycle elements.

Every element of the T-Race recalls these two-wheeled sports, from the crown protection and bezel with its slanting ventilation shafts, inspired by the braking discs, to the rubber tire-track bracelet, the speedometer-like counters on the dial and the very material of the case itself in a new synthetic mix high in carbon fiber.


Tissot has a good hand in designing stylish and modern watches, that still have the class of traditional Swiss watch makers. Tissot is in my opinion the Swiss watch maker for the young generation, that is not happy with Swatch watches.

The Tissot T-Race comes in various styles with different colored faces and wristbands.

Ashford sells the T-Race for Men for a low $245.00.

We reported about the EG by EleeNo in January. Now TokyoFlash offers the G by EleeNo which has an updated more fashionable look.

The mirrored face is topped with mineral glass, served up on an LCD display and garnished with a mesh strap.
Of course reading the time on a TokyoFlash watch cannot be straight forward. On the EleeNo G it works like this: The top row indicates the hour and the bottom 2 rows indicate the minutes.

Each face color, Blue, Pink & Green is available with either a Silver or Charcoal strap which can be easily adjusted at home to fit. Each model also has a backlight function.

Nixie Watch uses Nixie Tubes to display time the very geek way.

The Nixie Watch goes beyond LED wristwatches by using old fashioned tubes to display time.

I4U News reviews the Casio TV Remote Watch CMD-40.

Quote:
" The programmed functions worked right away. The range of the IR signal is not very wide, but acceptable. Ok, but now I am sitting on my sofa and press buttons with my right hand on buttons on a watch on my left hand. Now just try imagine this picture...
