Casio G-Shock GB-6900B And GB-X6900B Bluetooth Watches With New Features For 2013
Among the traditional watch makers now delving into the world of Bluetooth-enabled smartwatches, Casio has produced rather solid products thus far. In 2011 Casio released the G-Shock GB-6900 collection (debuted by watches-dealer here), which marked a new strategy for the maker of the world's arguably most versatile watches. The concept was a hybrid approach, in combining what people loved about G-Shock with the added functionality of Bluetooth communication with your phone. Now Casio ups the ante even further with the updated and improved GB-6900B? (GB-6900B -1) and larger GB-X6900B (GB-X6900B-1) collection of watches that will markedly improve upon the functionality of G-Shock Bluetooth watches. Inside the watches is Casio's new "Generation 2 Engine" which offers a compelling list of features that you'll actually use.Before we discuss aspects such as the design of the watch, it is important to discuss exactly what the GB-6990B and GB-X6900B watches can do with Bluetooth and the new Ge

Reactor Poseidon 1000m Dive Watch
The big daddy watch from Reactor is this Poseidon model - and has been available since last Fall or so. It is available in a standard and limited edition version. Each has style differences, and the Limited Edition Poseidon model contains a? Seiko made Kinetic (automatic rotor spins to charge the battery) quartz movement. There is even an exhibition caseback so that you can see the rotor. Exhibition casebacks on quartz watches are very rare. You can see the limited edition here with orange hues and different hands. I do like the limited edition better.The standard Poseidon model has a standard Japanese quartz movement with a 10 year battery. The two watches share a number of characteristics, including the chunky 48mm wide steel case with brushed steel, and black applications. The metal bracelet is two tone as well. At standard model is available on either strap, but the limited edition comes with both the metal bracelet and rubber strap.Reactor gives the Poseidon Limited Edition their

Xemex Concept One Chronograph Watch
It feels like it has been a while since we have seen something totally new from Xemex. The last few years saw increasingly up-market timepieces from Xemex as the Swiss watch market kept getting stronger. We all know what happened recently and this new Concept One Chronograph watch is going to be quite reasonably priced. It does beg the question if Xemex's Ruedi Kulling decided somewhere in the design process that an up-market watch would not have as much market appeal these days, and decides to place a quartz movement inside instead of a mechanical movement. Who knows, but it is a good speculation.The quartz chronograph movement is likely a Ronda, as Xemex has been known to use their movements in the past. The functionality is simple and straight forward, but it is the interesting design direction for Xemex that interests me. The entire watch is focused around the asymmetrical case, with a lot of it leaning toward the pushers. This concept is not new (though it is for Xemex). Asymmetr

AP 42mm Steel Diver Vs. PAM 111 44mm - Fit wise...
Hi All,Perhaps a strange question...but this might help manage my expectations / give me something to ruminate on for now.I think my 44mm PAM 111 fits my 6.5 wrist pretty nicely.I have not tried on the AP diver yet - tho I will. Wondering if folks who have both watches - or who have tried both watches can comment.The 41mm RO 15400 feels way too big on me...the 15300 - also on the potential hit list - fits well, but is hard to find.Are the Diver's lugs curved differently Vs. the 15400 so that the larger size may sit better ala the PAM for me?At any rate, sorry for the rambling, but I wanted some food for thought before I try one on.Cheers.

Happy Belated Halloween
