The Next Generation Of Watches From Seiko

Seiko has developed a watch that links with your phone, so you can be completely hands free when answering calls, provided you have a Bluetooth headset. The Seiko CPC TR-006 is equipped with Bluetooth technology which enables it to communicate with your cellphone.

Although the watch in the image is just a prototype, it is already able to receive text messages from your phone and capture Caller ID data.

Festina Waterproof Watches

Waterproof watches are pretty much old news and so is the way they are marketed and packaged, but it takes a special team to come up with a concept that smacks you in the face with a campaign for waterproof watches.

That’s what the team did with the Festina Waterproof watch, they simply placed every waterproof watch into a bag of water. Straightforward and stunningly simple.

Fathers Day Watches

Depending on where you are, Fathers Day has either been and gone or is coming up real soon. If it’s been and gone for you, then move along, nothing to see here, but if it hasn’t and it’s this Sunday, or the one after that or the one after that like most places, listen up.

Dads are pretty cool, so they deserve pretty cool gifts, like the new watch from Phosphor, Mann ‘Buzzin’ Appear. These watches not only have all the features that previous watches had, you can see them on our previous post, but new features where technology and design are crafted to produce a gift your father will love.

Karate Chop Time

A new conceptual time piece has been designed by Andy Kurovets which has been featured on Yanko Design, it is the Ninja Watch. Instead of hands telling you the time, it has dots that act as a pair of crazy eyes that show the time, they go around 2 dials on the face of the watches pointing to the time of day it is.

The watches are available in blue, white and orange and can be on Yanko Design
