Casio Bluetooth Watch For Smart Phones
News about this Casio watch concept has been everywhere. People seem to be more excited about what it is able to do than Casio is. This is partially evidenced by its circa 1987 G-Shock design. This however is a mere prototype - meant to show off the concept. That concept being the ability for a watch to sync via Bluetooth with a phone - and not have pathetically poor battery life in the process. Sure this Casio Bluetooth watch isn't the first timepiece that allows you to connect your phone to your watch, but all of those previous watches needed to be charged really frequently. This watch would need a battery change each two years like a normal (non solar powered) Casio quartz watch.The secret? Something called BLE, which stands for Bluetooth Low Energy. This new profile requires much less energy to move information from two Bluetooth connected devices. Though I did also hear that this is a feature of Bluetooth profile 4.0 - something that is currently not available on any phones. So wh

Temption Watches Gets A New Pad; 1980s Style With Wine While You Wait
Klaus Ulbrich of Temption watches in Germany is moving on up, Stuttgart Style. This lovely little watch maker's new villa could be right out of Santa Monica, CA circa 1987. New digs for Temption likely mean more employees, higher production, and more watches, all good things from a company that consistently keeps providing up good looking, quality watches at prices which don't make me balk, given what you get. Lets take a little tour of the new space where you can go see their in-house show room, and view watch makers hard at work on the wonderful watches.The outside of the manufacture look like a California day spa (maybe gym, or perhaps real estate office) from the late eighties. Visitors will be happy to know that satellite TV is standard, either for the watch makers or for your viewing pleasure while Klaus himself polishes your new Temption watch to a glowing finish. Pinkish stucco and lots of glass complete the theme of "high-end, high quality German watch" right? Curiously enough

PAM000 painted dial
I owned one of the last Base Logo which is the R serial before it was discontinued. It seems that Panerai has switched the sausage dial (embossed from the dial) to the painted dial on a recessed surface to the dial similar to PAM510 / 560 / 590.Was this changes made only towards the end of the production? Or has it always been in this dial but due to the viewing angles of the photo in the internet it looks as if the dial was embossed. Anyway I love the PAM000 that I have regardless of which dial it has. Now I know why a lot of people love the Zeros. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
