Brando M300

This is for all you gadgeteers that love convergence devices. The Brando M300 is a watch with a quadband GSM antenna built in, 60MB of internal memory, bluetooth 2.0, USB connectivity, MP3 player, and 1″ color OLED screen.

If you don’t care about text messaging and email then maybe this $305 gizmo might do you good.

Ever snowboard, B.A.S.E. jump, wakeboard, play basketball, pole-vault, or jump on your friend’s twenty year-old, rusty trampoline in her backyard (that could break at any second) and wonder who had the best air time?

Swatch Watchconcept

Some watches complicate and some simplify. The Swatch Watch by Laurence Dawes takes the latter disposition to create a bracelet-style watch suitable for both genders of all ages.

The design is based off bicycle air-tubes that can be swapped out with other designs to customize its look. The actual timepiece consists of a small crystal LCD display that makes the numerals look as if they’re floating in glass. It’s only concept for now so all we can do is lust after it.

Innovative because it’s complex

Urwerk201 Watch-1

Timepiece design has by and far been pretty straight forward. So when you’re out of ideas on what to design for “tomorrow’s” watch, why not complicate it more than need be? That seems to be the trend now-a-days.

Urwerks 201 watch takes that ethos and runs wild with it. The 201 has an orbiting dial with minute and hour hands that detract and retract laid out amongst an odometer style face. That ain’t it tho; flip the watch over and you’ve got a feature to remind you of your next oil change and a record of time for the past 100 years.

G-Shock who?
