When it comes to telling the time, most of us would rely on our respective smartphones to get the job done at a single glance, although there will be some of us out there who prefer the good old fashioned way of a regular clock. The thing about clocks is this – some of them might actually feature some boring design that you could end up overlooking the time itself, so why not embrace the future with the $129.95 Giant Display Atomic Wall Clock?

This is a unique wall clock which is not only oversized by itself, it is also capable of maintaining its unerring accuracy from the radio clock transmitter in Fort Collins, Colorado. The digital display itself would rely on 4.5” high numbers, which would ensure that you can easily tell the time even from up to a whopping 30′ away. Not only that, there will be 2” high numbers located right below the time, where the display would tell of the date, day, indoor and outdoor temperature. In addition, there will be a wireless outdoor thermometer which communicates with the clock from up to 330′ away, where it delivers a range of -4° F to 122° F. Fret not about Daylight Saving Time, it will be adjusted automatically, and you will be able to enjoy accurate time across the entire lower 48 United States.

Knowing how far we’ve come in a workout can help us decide when to push harder or cool down. This is a small part of the reason smart watches are becoming so popular. If we know exactly how our body is functioning, we know where to improve, or what we need to give ourselves a little more slack for.

There are so many different kinds of watches out there that can help you track your workout that it’s getting a tad excessive. As they have been in the watch business for a while, you would think Casio knows what they’re doing. They created the STB-1000, which is a Bluetooth Sports Gear watch that will not only tell you your distance traveled, lap pace, average pace, and heart rate, but you’ll also receive notifications from your phone. It can let you know when you’re getting email, calls, texts, and will also allow you to control your music.

Those who like to use an armband for their phone know the annoyance of accessing it while in mid-stride, so this watch can be your go-between. Other information you’ll be able to see is your speed and the elapsed time, which is often what most of us are concerned about. It doesn’t use rechargeable batteries, which means you won’t need to worry about it turning off for at least two year. This will cost you around $100, and has tons of corresponding apps to go with it.

bēm wireless has a brand new Bluetooth speaker which is small enough for you to wear on your wrist, allowing you to access your smartphone and favorite music in a jiffy regardless of where you are. This speaker band will function as a stylish extension of your smartphone, where it is a safe and quick method when it comes down to answering calls whenever you are driving or walking, making it a guaranteed, must-have item for all of you busy folks out there. Right now, it is available for preorder for a limited time only.

This unique speaker band will be compatible with just about any Bluetooth-enabled device, letting you play your favorite tunes regardless of where you are. There is also the presence of an integrated microphone, where it would enable users to be able to answer their calls in a jiffy using the speaker band alone. This would make it a whole lot more safe compared to fumbling around in your purse or pocket for your smartphone, especially when it comes to a situation where it is better for you (and other road users) to have both of your hands on the wheel. Not only that, this unique speaker band is also compatible with majority of the voice recognition apps out there, giving you up to half a dozen hours of talk time.

The presence of a caller ID function would also enable one to screen one’s calls prior to answering – an extremely crucial feature these days considering how there are just some people (and obviously, numbers) that you would want to avoid. Coming in a design that has a soft-touch wrist band for maximum comfort, you will find the presence of multi-function buttons on the side of the speaker band with play, pause, answer, skip, and reverse capabilities. Charging it up is a snap thanks to the micro-USB port located beneath the speaker. You can pick this bad boy up in black, white, blue, red, gray and green colors for $49.99 a pop.

Between Star Trek and Star Wars, which of the science fiction franchises do you prefer? I personally like the latter, although the movie reboot in recent years has also reignited my interest in Star Trek. The ships in Star Wars are way cooler, including the mammoth Death Star, but in Star Trek, it is comforting to see an effort being made by humanity as well as other alien life form to explore new worlds in a non-invasive manner. Being discreet is the keyword here. Here is the $49.99 Star Trek Enterprise Projection Alarm Clock that would be the perfect addition to any Trekkie’s room or office table.

The NCC-1701 will be able to tell you just what time it is, as it projects the time on a wall or ceiling. Nacelles will light up whenever the alarm goes off, and your eyes will be able to tell the exact time since all of the digital numbers are projected in large, red figures. Not only that, sounds from the original series will also be played back accordingly. Surely this would be the ideal alarm clock that is also futuristic to a certain extent in your home? It comes with a 5 minute snooze function, plays back sounds such as red alert, photon torpedos, and Kirk calling from the Bridge, and will be powered by a quartet of LR44 button cell batteries.

Whether or not we mean to, there is a certain way we think the world is going to be. Creatures of habit, we become used to our surroundings, and when things are out of place, our eyes are drawn to it. If you enjoy that sort of thing, then you probably don’t mind wearing clothes that are a bit out of place, or keeping an eclectic style among your belongings.

If you happen to be one such person, and are also a fan of The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali, then you will most likely love the Melting Watch. There is a larger version of this that is meant to sit on your shelf or desk, but it’s certainly not nearly as portable. This is a regular wristwatch that looks as though the face and casing of the watch are dribbling over the sides of your wrist.

This chrome analog watch uses a black rubber strap to keep it securely fastened on your wrist. The colors are simplistic using a white face with black and silver as its compliments, as any boisterous colors might make this a little too much to look at all at once. As it’s not made of precious metals or encrusted in diamonds, this will only cost you $30. If not for yourself, then this could be a delightful gift for friends who are art lovers, or fond of challenging the norm.
