How Screwed Is Watch Industry Thanks To Apple Watch?
During the launch of the Apple Watch, myself and thousands of other bloggers tried to take in the information, while at the same time covering the news, given our own perspectives on the watch or technology industry. Apple even asked a lot of fashion bloggers to attend the Apple Watch launch, which was a curious thing, until you realized that there were about 34 different versions of the Apple Watch, to begin with, that will be available when the smartwatches begin shipping sometime in early 2015. Most notably, a range of versions in full 18k gold or rose gold cases.While Apple has not released a lot of the technical specifications about the Apple Watch, there is enough information available for myself and many other people to have a good idea of what the Apple Watch will do, how it might fit into people's lives, and how it fits next to the competition. The question today is whether or not that competition is limited to other wearables and smartwatches, or to other more traditional wat

The Watch LCD Revolution Is On The Horizon: LG Releases First Circular Color LCD Screens
[ad#image-med-rect]This may look like a pretty average watch, but in actuality it represents years of effort. This is one solid circular LCD (liquid crystal display) screen, something that is very hard to do. It also displays 262,000 colors, unlike the monochromatic watch LCDs that you are used to.In the past, all LCD panels needed to be square or rectangular. For years, efforts have been made to give LCD screens more organic shapes, but the nature of their construction made this almost impossible. That left us with boring little screens on our Casio watches.Color LCD panels are nothing new, but there is little to no color LCD penetration on watch displays. This is due to the necessity for backlighting, which would require frequent battery changes or charging. New technologies are changing this, and what you see is a clear representation of what we can come to expect in the upcoming years. On that note,? new types of LCD (and of course OLED; organic light emitting diode) require less o

Introducing: The TAG Heuer Connected Smartwatch
We all knew it was coming, we just didn't know in what form. Today in New York City, TAG Heuer CEO Jean-Claude Biver introduced the brand's very first connected wristwatch. The TAG Heuer Connected is a 46 mm watch that looks very much like the new mechanical Carrera with Caliber 01 inside, but instead of a self-winding, Swiss-made movement, we have a Google-powered operating system. 1 OF 6 The watch takes the shape of a modern TAG Carrera, with a 46 mm case made of grade 2 titanium, complete with titanium deployant buckle. The stock black rubber strap may be swapped to a host of different colors, and the watch looks and feels very much like any TAG. However, there are no chronograph pushers here, just one crown that acts as the control center for the connected timepiece. 2 OF 6 The watch features three different TAG Heuer faces – a true chronograph, a three hander, and a GMT – and the chronograph works by tapping the screen once to start

New Omega PO
I've come back to Omega thanks to an assist from Fr John! With a referral to his AD I received a brand new Planet Ocean with the 2500D movement last week. Was a little unsure of the black and orange dial at first. However, after wearing it for a few days I have really grown to like it. Here are the pics.....

Do People Buy New From ADs and then Sell for a Profit?
I ask this question because I am looking to buy a BLNR. My nearest AD helped me out recently dealing with a fake watch I got stuck with, so I wanted to do business with them on a new watch. But they don't have any in stock, so I also have been looking here in the classified forum for pricing info. One BLNR I saw had a msrp tag of $8,950, yet I see prices up to 10k. I guess this makes sense if the supply is so low and there is a lot of demand, but I was surprised that a used watch could cost me more than a new one, lol.
