Radio Active WristWatch

cosa — Mon, 17 Oct 2005 13:28:31 +0000

As promised, here’s another unique watch from the company who brought The Morse Code Watch. This one is Radio Active Watch. Not as strange as the morse code wristwatch, and I have to admit that this one is cool. I think I can get some girls with this watch.

The time is displayed by simply adding the lights. 20 plus 10 plus 2= 32 minutes. The Red Warning light is for the 6 hour mark and the Danger gauge for the other 6 hours. You can see the detail at the bottom image.

The watch itself measures 3.1 cm across by 4.1 cm long by 1.1 cm thick. The strap and case are solid stainless so a bit heavy. It has a mineral crystal face and blinking LED lights.

And here’s the instruction to read the current time on the watch.

The Morse Code Watch

cosa — Sat, 15 Oct 2005 12:17:02 +0000

Do you think that the LED Colored Wristwatch already strange enough? Then hold your breath and check out this Morse Code Watch! Those two watches probably designed for people who hate being peep by other people from their back to see the current time (well, I also did it sometimes).

Morse Code is a system of dots and dashes, used to represent the letters of the alphabet, developed by Samuel FB Morse in the early part of the 19th century. These signals can be communicated audibly by telegraph, or visually at night with a blink of a lamp. [ source ]

The Morse Code Watch has three modes for telling the time. First, as you can see from the image, it shows the time in morse code on the LED. Second, using the built-in speaker, it sounds out the time in morse code. The third, the humanity way to read the time, press the specific button and it will display the current time in regular digit form.

If you need help on reading the morse code, here’s a hint.

The watch is provided by TokyoFlash, which specialized on selling ~~strange~~ unique watches. I’ll post more ~~weird~~ interesting watch from them later.

WristWatch Radio Contolled Car

cosa — Mon, 03 Oct 2005 12:43:37 +0000

As I mentioned yesterday, I’m going to write about the WristWatch Radio Controlled Car, so here you go. Unlike the usual R/C toys which using the handheld controller to control the toys around, this one use a wristwatch controller. Noone will ever notice that you’re the one who master this mini car.

Radio control is the use of radio signals to remotely control another device. The term is used almost universally to refer to the control of model cars, boats and airplanes from a user-held control box. [ source ]

There are three car models you can choose: Mini Cooper, Skyline GT-R & Lancer Evolution. All of them are 6-inches long and made of Diecast Metal. If you take a look at the wristwatch controller (image above), there are four buttons to control the direction: forward, backward, left, and right. Of course the wristwatch also able to display the current time, like a normal watch.

I guess the drawback will be the controller itself. A press button-type controller is not easy to mastered. But I think that’s the best way to implement the controller on the wristwatch. It’d be silly to put the joystick on the wristwatch, right?
