LEGO Watch is a nostalgic timepiece

LEGO My Watch
One item that we can all relate to is the ever-present LEGO. It’s taken on more modern forms and made to relate to popular culture, but it’s still just a bunch of building blocks that you can create a whole new world with. Minecraft was tremendously popular because it held many of the same principles. It’s the mindset of ‘here are some things which with you can create and destroy at your leisure, have fun’.

Of course, they often came at a price (have you ever stepped on a LEGO?). Jokes aside, these hold a near and dear spot in many of our hearts. Seeing something related to this iconic product always brings a smile to our faces. If you want to wear that gentle reminder that you can create and make amazing things, the LEGO My Watch will definitely do that. It has all the bright primary-centric colors we grew up knowing, but has all the functionality of a digital watch.

Of course, it has an alarm, and is water resistant. Keep in mind that means you can wash your hands with it on, but not go for a swim. It’s made out of rubber, which is infinitely more comfortable than wearing hard plastic. It is a unisex watch, but will need to be worn by someone who doesn’t mind a few strange looks. This will only cost you $25, and is sure to brighten your day. Seeing that winter is coming, we’re all going to need this sort of pick-me-up in the colorless months.

Bluetooth Click Clock offers an alternative way to tell the time

bluetooth-click-clockWhat is it about Bluetooth technology that you love the most? Of course, walking around being connected to a particular device without any pesky wires getting in the way is always a more than welcome thing to own, but what are some of the more interesting Bluetooth devices that you have seen in the past? The £99.99 Bluetooth Click Clock is worth checking out, where if you were to place a pre-order today, it will arrive in a week’s time, which would leave you plenty of time to wrap it as a present for someone close to you.

The Bluetooth Click Clock will offer you both time and date at a single click of your fingers, where it will be able to wirelessly blast out your favorite tunes. Not only that, just like any decent clock that serves to tell the exact time at a glance, as well as be a tool to help you wake up after a good night’s rest, this one too, will feature an alarm clock with snooze function. Apart from that, it also boasts of an integrated microphone so that you will be able to enjoy hands-free calls directly from the comfort of your bed. The 6 watts of stereo output from 2 high fidelity audio drivers and passive subwoofers will tickle your ears in the right direction, and with a 100 years calendar, it should outlast you as well as your next generation.

Click Cube Clocks tell the time in a fun way

cube-clock-clickAre all clocks created equal? The answer is definitely not, but I would assume that for the most of us, we would happily settle for a simple digital or analog clock that sits on our desk, hang on the living room wall, or simply refer to the wristwatch that we wear all the time. How about adding more functions to your everyday timepiece? This is what the £29.99 Click Cube Clocks is all about, as it will arrive in black and walnut shades from early next month onward to make it a candidate for your Christmas shopping list.

For starters, the Click Cube Clocks would be able to let you tell the time at a glance, unlike those Tokyoflash watches that require you to perform some sort of mental calculation before arriving at the exact minute. Not only that, the Click Cube Clocks do more than just tell the time, as they are also able to show the temperature and date. Teenagers and sleep lovers will be pleased to know that a snooze function has also been thrown into the mix to accompany the alarm, letting you sleep in a little bit longer, while the lack of wires translate to you being able to place it just about anywhere you like without the risk of tripping over. The magic of the Click Cube Clock lies in the fact that the time will be displayed at the snap of your fingers, or when you tap the bedside table it is on gently.

Hands Free Gear Clock tells the time in style

handsfree-gear-clockThere are clocks, and then there are clocks. Instead of the boring old $4 clock from Ikea that seems to have made its way to every home around, how about trying out something that is totally different? Why not have a timepiece in your home that will be able to tell the time in style? This is what the $99.95 Hands Free Gear Clock is all about, and motorheads should be able to appreciate the existence of such a timepiece. This is one wall clock that boasts of tiny moving gears which will rotate a large outer sprocket, telling the time as it is.

Ditching the traditional hands in favor of a simple arrow, this is one industrial timepiece that will point via the arrow to the current time on the large, outer dial, where the latter would be able to perform a full revolution twice a day. It will be powered by the quartet of fixed internal spur gears, and the large clock measures nearly 2′ in diameter, where it sports bold numbers that are easy to read from a distance, while offering submarkings at each 15-minute interval. Made out of durable, lightweight ABS with a metallic finish, mounting it on any wall surface is a snap. You won’t have to fill it up with motor oil though, as it is powered by a pair of D batteries.

click-arcade-watchNo matter what our current age is, there are certain “triggers” that we do come across from time to time that sends our memories reeling back to a particular point in the past.

Every single time that you take a look at the Click Arcade Button Watch you will be reminded of the feel as well as look of arcade game play buttons. Wearing this on your wrist should be an indicator that you ought to prepare yourself for your family and friends to constantly ask you just what time it is, reaching over to give it a touch to boot.

Kisai Console Wood LED Watch is like a sci-fi control panel

Kisai Console Wood Watch
Your imagination is a most wonderful thing. When we were little kids, we could turn a stick into a sword, airplane, companion, and more. Sadly, we grow up being taught that creativity can only get you so far, and that it needs to be put on the back burner. Many people lose the ability to think outside the box, because most jobs don’t encourage you to do so. In fact, most of the time that sort of behavior is looked upon poorly either by your superiors or coworkers for showing them up.

Well, life’s no fun without a bit of change in the status quo. If you like bending the rules a bit, but don’t want to land yourself in trouble, your creative side is going to have to try and run parallel with the rest of your life. That goes hand in hand with looking the part of a professional. While there’s often not much you can do about the suit and tie type of dress code, you can always stand out a little bit with an imaginative time piece. If you want to make your mark, the TokyoFlash Kisai Console Wood LED Watch is definitely going to help you do it.

The wooden links and casing give is a classic feel, but the face of the watch makes it look like a science fiction control panel. It has a section for every hour, five minute intervals, and four sections to indicate exact minute. Once you realize how to read it, it’s quite simple. At a glance however, it looks like some sort of futuristic technology. This will cost you around $109, and comes in either a dark sandalwood with blue or green LED back lighting, or red sandalwood with green.  One charge should have you up and running for about a month, but you can charge it whenever you see fit.

R2-D2 Wristwatch tells the time as it is, galactic style

r2-d2-wristwatchWhich is the most useful droid around in the Star Wars universe? Most folks would automatically vote for R2-D2, as that is one astromech droid who has saved the Rebel Alliance many times over. We have seen R2-D2 arrive in the form of a timepiece before, but this time around, it comes in a far more advanced form factor. The $249.95 R2-D2 Wristwatch happens to be an official Star Wars collector’s watch, where it bears the hallmark colors and design motifs of the most popular droid in the galaxy.

Heck, this wristwatch even comes with Artoo’s iconic optical lenses, where it will be able to let you know of the time by pointing a red-tipped hand to the hour on an outer dial. Apart from that, there is also a yellow-tipped hand that counts off the minutes on an inner dial. The watch’s bezel itself will be able to turn by hand in order to mimic the spinning of the droid’s dome, all the while making a winding sound. Accurate Japanese quartz movement ensures that the time is kept properly, while the stainless steel case comes across in a splash resistant form factor. Each purchase will also arrive in a collector’s box that includes a numbered certificate of authenticity, which means that this is an officially licensed product by LucasFilm.

ALARMclock will scare you out of bed with reality

ALARMclock DIE
What motivates you to get up and go to work every morning? Forcing yourself to do the same thing over and over again can be a little maddening, so why do it? Is it the rare occasion that you actually enjoy your job, or that you need the financial stability? Whatever your reason may be, there’s a good chance you have an alarm clock that tries to wake you with blaring sound or light. If that isn’t enough to give you a start, then what will?

The ALARMclock by Fig will certainly get you moving, as it brings in the early morning with cold hard facts. Some of our biggest fears as human beings are how much money we make, our level of importance, and finding meaning in our lives. If you can’t seem to muster the internal willpower to force yourself out of your comfy bed, the ALARMclock will let you know how pertinent it is that you get up and get out there.

This clock will let you know how much money is in your bank account, how many friends you have on your social networks, and your projected life expectancy. Talk about a serious killjoy. This is a bit too real for my tastes, but maybe it’s comforting to know exactly where you stand in life. It has a bright 2-bit LED screen, and a wooden enclosure. One of these will cost you $85 if you’re up to awakening to potentially depressing news every day.

Carpenter Collection gives you a bendable wood watch

Wooden watch
Everyone is trying their best to be Eco-friendly, but that usually just means recycling, and watching your water or power consumption. There are a lot of things that aren’t good for our environment, but possibly the worst of all is our buy-toss-upgrade mentality. Plastics and metals that are prevalent in most products we buy nowadays aren’t going to do the Earth any good once you throw them out, even if their main function is to help the environment.

It’s best to use things that come from the Earth naturally, and can return to the ground through decomposition. Wooden watches have been a big deal as of late, but they are a bit clunky. If you’re wanting something a bit more streamlined, but still stays true to form, then you might like the Carpenter Collection All-Natural Wood Watch from Analog Watch Company. The most intriguing part is that even the strap is made of wood, and it isn’t rigid!

This is a very minimal design with no number markings on the face of the watch. This aspect is made of wood, as is the veneer over the black leather strap. There are metal components, and while it is water resistant, you won’t want to shower or swim with this on. Laying down $85 on this crowdfunding project will get you your choice of makore and red sanders, silverheart and maple, teak and bamboo, or leather and blackwood.
