Itay Noy Hyper Scape Watches
Israeli watchmaker Itay Noy?presents these two new Hyper Scape collection watches for 2013. The Hyper Scape collection includes the Hyper Cityscape and Landscape watches, each in positive or negative color tones - that roughly translate into being a day and night feel for the look. The watches further contain a new movement used for the boutique brand, as well as a brand new case design.This is the first square-style case for the brand and it looks very lovely in brushed steel with those rounded corners. The case is a perfect square being 42.4mm wide and tall. It isn't too thick at 11.6mm. Of course there is a sapphire crystal over the dial as well as for the exhibition case back window. Water resistance is 50 feet, which is understandable given that water resistance in watches with non-round sapphire crystals is difficult.The soft feel of the case mixed with the lugless style makes the Hyper Scape look like a frame for the dial. Which is perhaps why the dials are so much like pictures

Too Much Blue?
I have a blue, ceramic Seamaster that I really like. The stainless band, however, is a little too blingy for my taste so I decided to swap it out with a blue rubber strap that I have.Here is the before picture:image.jpg

Elementary question of chrono functionality?
Take the 5170 for example, it incorporates a scale to measure heart rate, ideally this is a precision instrument with the expectation of accuracy? My question is this:If you are a Doctor & would like to utilize the functionality of your precision wrist tool to some degree of accuracy, which is designed to measure heart rate, how exactly do you press the start button (located on your left wrist) after you have located the patients pulse point (using your right hand), without removing your hand from the patients wrist/ pulse point?I ask because a pulse point can often be a very tricky thing to locate, depending on the patients fitness & condition.Ordoes the concensus feel there should be no expectation of using this watch in such a fashion?

Do you use your Rolex to check the time?
I'm worried that constantly lifting and turning my wrist to check the time will damage the movement. Anyone else have the same concern? I'm thinking of getting a beater for my other wrist to tell time, and save the Rolex for when I need to impress a woman when she asks me what time it is.
