Telling the time used to be something that’s pleasant and easy to do – all you needed was a quick glance at your wrist and you’re good to go. The folks over at Tokyoflash have certainly gone out of their way to complicate things as much as possible, and one of the results would be the Wasted LED Watch. Also known as the Kisai Wasted, it will come in two color styles – black and white. Wasted boasts a streamlined plastic case and strap finished in gloss with matte detail. It was specially designed to fit most wrist sizes perfectly, boasting a smooth translucent lens which enables you to see the mysterious layout of time right under it. Since it is USB rechargeable, you need not go out and buy those button cell batteries. It takes around 3.5 hours for a full charge which should last you for around one month on average. With the battery being able to hold around 300 charges, that would translate to over 2 years of use before you replace the battery. How do you tell the time? That is the easy part once you get the hang of it, although your friends might beg to differ as they crack their brains, looking for various methods in unlocking the “code” or pattern. The Kisai Wasted makes it a snap with its explanation – all you need to do is touch the button for the twisted display to come to life, where the current time will flash for a short time in order to direct you. All hours are shown on the outside in the same position as the corresponding numbers on a clock, while groups of five minutes on the inside will also show up with single minutes in the center from bottom to top. You can also initiate a programmed animation between 18:00 and 24:00 for night time, where all lights will slowly illuminate the screen and then go out every 15 minutes when animation mode is on. The price to pay? Just under a hundred dabloons sans shipping if you’re interested.

Who listens to the radio these days? Not many apparently, but then again your ears can only handle so many premediated MP3s on a playlist before they yearn for something fresh and random, and this is where radios and their bunch of chatty DJs come in. The Revo Axis Radio which retails for just under $399 a pop will come in a sleek form factor, being an Internet/DAB radio cum dock which will represent the next generation of ‘connected’ music hubs. Not only can it receive more than 13,000 Internet radio stations, it also does crystal-clear DAB and DAB+, conventional FM radio with RDS and music streamed from your PC or Mac. This makes the Axis one seriously multi-talented performer, while doubling up as an iPhone/iPod dock. Not only that, NXT’s patented Balanced Radiator loudspeaker technology is incorporated within its 8W amp to deliver impressive clarity and bass response. To cap things off, you get an alarm clock with it, complete with the all important sleep and snooze functions, now how about that! Ah yes, everything you wanted in an old school radio, with all of the contemporary charm to boot.

If you haven’t gotten the hands free phone set now, due to sheer laziness or a refusal to bend to the norm, you may like this one. Jabra has decided to work with Zipcar, resulting in the Jabra CRUISER Bluetooth-enabled in-car speakerphone. As we all well know, driving around while talking on your cellphone is dangerous since it not only keeps you distracted from what’s happening on the road and around you, it also occupies one of your hands which makes it all the more dangerous especially when you need to make an emergency maneuver. The Jabra CRUISER Bluetooth-enabled in-car speakerphone is currently available at various retail stores including Verizon Wireless, Best Buy, and AT&T, where it is going for $99 a pop. It has come to Jabra’s attention that cellphone use when driving is just one of the many distracted driving habits that have become the norm in the US. A global survey was run by Jabra recently in order to get to the nitty gritty of it, realizing that the most common harrowing driving habits include texting, eating, changing clothes (!), operating GPS systems and perhaps, just perhaps, even yelling at other drivers. Not only that, it was found out that only 32 percent of the survey respondents reported they’re using a hands-free device. This is where the Jabra CRUISER comes in, allowing you to talk to your family and loved ones while keeping both hands on the wheel. The Massachusetts House Bill 4466 has seeked to address a handful of these issues, by banning drivers from sending text messages from behind the wheel and by banning drivers under age 18 from using cellphones altogether. Let’s hope that more people would look to the Jabra Cruiser Bluetooth
as a viable solution for a hands-free alternative when driving.
