Alien DNA Watch

We have never seen a watch display that is as clear, brilliant, or futuristic as this one before. Using technology that was formerly reserved for the displays in car stereos, Sea Hope has created the Alien DNA watch. This product is a timepiece that displays the current time and as well as the percentage of otherworldly matter in your system. The top bars stands for the hour, and minutes are noted by the bottom bars (denominations of 5 minutes on the left, and 1 minute on the right). Not to worry, though- there's also a standard digital display if this all gets too technical for you and if this just gets you confused.

The Sea Hope Alien DNA watch features:

• Super-clear liquid crystal display
• Mineral crystal face
• Calendar function
• Waterproof rating: 3ATM (do not submerge)
• Materials/color: stainless steel/stainless steel, stainless steel/black leather
• Case depth: 0.6cm
• Weight: 150g
• Manual: Japanese

Gadget Geek Galore: Batmobile and Casio Watches

After so much controversies and gadget leakages, we're bringing back the 'ol fun in this blog. This post will be about some gadgets that not everybody will be able to afford, but will definitely want.

Batmobile Replica!

Batman has always been considered as one of the more iconic comic characters of all time and it's no surprise that his gadgets and technology attract a lot of tech freaks. However, no one's been able to replicate the classic Batmobile from his Burton movies until now. Presenting the Batmobile ... in Stokholm, Sweden!

• Cost: over $1 million.
• Time: 3.5 years, 20,000 hours of painstaking work to convert a ‘73 Lincoln Continental.
• Contents: DVD, voice recognition, height adjustment, reversing cameras….
• Pleasure: Incalculable, as people gather around to oggle outside IKEA.

All I can say is wow!

Casio Cubic Puzzle Digital Watch

The watch was once an integral gadget that one should have, nowadays mobile phones seems to have taken that spot. There's been a small resurgence lately with watchphones, but it hasn't really really taken off as expected. Will they die off like the rotary telephones or will their designers fashion a new one that will attract the watchless crowds? Maybe Casio, one of the premier digital watchmakers, will do it?

One of Casio's slimmest time pieces to date, the "Poptone Cubic Puzzle Watch" has a long case with a custom designed LCD display and buttons arranged at the bottom in a Tetris-like layout.

Features:

• Maximum wrist size: 190 mm (approx.)
• Case Dimensions: 29 mm x 52 mm x 17 mm
• Weight: 25 grams
• Water resistance: 5ATM
• Japanese and English instructions
• One year manufacturers warranty
• Stopwatch (1/100 seconds)
• Alarm
• Date mode
• 12/24 hour time
• Backlight

It looks funky and cool, my only problem is the $89.56 pre-order price. It's way too expensive for a digital watch that can be replaced easily by any low-end mobile phone. I hope they change their minds before they release this.

Tech Time

Want to teach your kids one of the essentials in life? Then Teach Me Time device will fit the bill then, as your kids will then be able to know just when they need to scuttle off to the bedroom to get their shuteye so that mom and dad can have a little private time to themselves after a long day of work.

Forget all that big hand/little hand stuff; if you want to teach your kids how to tell the time, Teach Me Time is the answer. First off it’s an adorable color-changing nightlight. When junior goes to bed it emits a reassuring yellow glow, then when morning comes it turns green to show that it’s okay to wake up and annoy mum and dad. Simply set the desired time on the secret panel and, fingers crossed, snookums will soon learn that ambling into your room in the middle of the night is not in the least bit amusing, even if he/she is clutching teddy and looking unbearably cute.

Once the basics have been understood by Junior, the Teach Me Time becomes more versatile by turning into a 5-stage, talking ‘game’ that allows them to learn how to tell the time using both analogue and digital displays. When they’ve mastered that, this £39.95 enters into its third stage of life, being a fully functional alarm clock alongside the all-important snooze function.

Ball Alarm Clock

Once again, we here at Coolest Gadgets have discovered another cool concept alarm clock, and this would be the time to state the usual conventions.

Number one: Talk about how difficult it is to get up in the morning as a lead-in.

Are you the type of person who has difficulty arising? Maybe you need a little bit of a shriek to scare the daylight into you.

Number two: Talk about the alarm clock’s unique feature.

The Shrieking Ball alarm clock will wake you up with a loud scream, and will not rest until you put it to rest. In other words, you pick up the shrieking ball when you wake up, and then must put it back into its cradle to shut it up. It’s like a crying baby, but easier.

The last two steps are after the jump.

Number three: The Funny anecdote.

I have two options for this one, so pick one:

1) So what happens when you wake up and you groggily drop the Shrieking ball before you can put it down properly. Hopefully it will not roll underneath your bed, as it could be hard to retrieve.

2) Hey, I got an idea: a Shrek-ing Ball alarm clock. This is an alarm clock that looks like Shrek’s head that will say lines from the terrible Shrek the Third sequel until you shut it up. Just don’t shut it up permanently, even though it deserves it.

Number four: The hope that someday this concept will become a reality

No word on when this Shrieking Ball Alarm Clock will be mass produced, but for some of us, it won’t be soon enough.

Bell&Ross: Bringing it all back home

Finally, a B&R I can stand behind. I love B&R. I love GMTs. This is like two great tastes that taste great together.

This new model is a bog standard GMT with a stationary central bezel - which means you can’t change the 24-hour markings - and a movement that will move the hour hand back and forth to show the local time as well as the time at home.

No price but expect it to hit at about $7,000. Finally: A B&R with a little pizazz. After all their gold-encrusted models they’re kind of figuring out that their watches are popular with dudes.

Sat Nav Shoes

What do you do when your sense of direction is about as accurate as a Fred Goodwin’s in a financial crisis? You buy a pair of these sat nav shoes, that’s what. Now I know I’ve talked about super shoes before but these are pretty cool. Just enter the postcode in your heel and you’re away.

Get directions from the LED DNav Bubble on the front of your left shoe which will point in the direction you need to walk and beep if you’re heading the wrong way. You can also use a Bluetooth headset so that you don’t walk around sounding like that guy out of Police Academy and you will hear instructions like “bear left at the next McDonalds”.

LED DNav Bubble sat nav shoes

It runs on two rechargeable AA batteries and it’s speakers are waterproof so jumping in puddles is still very much on the cards. And do you remember the robot legs we featured a couple of months ago? These would go perfectly on the end of them for completely effortless travel!

AA batteries in the sole

So next time someone tells you to get lost, just pull up your trouser leg, show off your shoes and walk away, content with the notion that getting lost is very much a thing of the past.

Snatch these up at Firebox for £129.95 / $187.10.
