Casio G-Shock GPW1000 Is First Watch To Combine GPS & Atomic Clock Radio Time Syncing
For 2014, Casio will release yet another technologically interesting watch that we've never seen before. As part of the G-Shock collection, the Casio G-Shock GPW1000 watch family will synchronize and receive signals from both atomic clock radio signals as well as from satellites from the Global Positioning System (GPS). The former?feature has been around for longer, and over the last few years �C especially with the promotion of the Seiko Astron �C the public is getting used to the latter idea that their quartz watches can be always correct, anywhere in the world by connecting to GPS. Both systems of receiving the correct time from signals have their pluses and minuses. So Casio decided to design a watch that could connect to either.The Casio G-Shock GPW1000 includes new technology that Casio co-developed with Sony. Together the two companies developed a miniature low-power consumption system for reviewing GPS signals as well as including a six band radio receiver to get signals from the

B-1 versus Airwolf for 2nd Watch
I am getting an itch to add a new piece to the collection. I currently own an early version B-1 (non-super quartz) with black dial. I am contemplating adding either another B-1 Superquartz or Airwolf with a blue dial (2009 model with stripe texture on dial, not the radial pattern). I think most people seem to prefer the B-1 over the Airwolf, but I like the Airwolf and think it would add something a little different to my collection since I already own a B-1. I am also possibly considering an Aerospace, but I think I like the chronograph buttons on the case of the B-1 and Airwolf. I also love the turbine case back on the B-1 and Airwolf. But, I don't own a titanium watch and the Aerospace is starting to grow on me. I am curious as to what the forum members would do in my situation. Thanks in advance for the contribution! Guy

Introducing my new Baby...Breitling Superocean II Abyss Silver 42mm!!
Let me introduce you to the newest member of my Breitling family, the Breitling Superocean II Abyss Silver 42mm. Not long ago I parted with a Superocean and the family felt a void. So when I saw a buddy selling��I pounced. I love the size; 42mm is a great size for both casual and dress. Breitling's 44mm's which I also love, but they don't usually go under a long sleeve very well. I like the Silver inner ring due to being more universal and less trendy but the blue & yellow I would not turn down! The rubber insert on the bezel is cool and the lume is great especially for a Breitling. What's a little unique about this Abyss is the bracelet has been slightly brushed instead of the high polished look it came with. This little touch I really like and might not be your cup of tea but now you've something to compare. Overall I give the newest Breitling family member��two thumbs up!!

Visit to the Omega boutique
My wife and I were in Cherry Creek in Denver and I had to stop by the Omega boutique because I hadn't tried on the Speedmaster and I've been wanting one for a while. While we were there, we heard some Omega history and checked out some other pieces. Towards the end of our visit which was about an hour or so later the gentleman hands me a paper to fill out for info and events. While I am writing I notice that the pen has a nice feel and as I like pens I look check it out and notice that it's an Omega pen. I has seen different brand pens like AP (one of my favorites) and Rolex along with others but never an Omega one. While I am handing him the info and pen I compliment his pen and he asks me to wait only to return with the same pen in a box along with a pen for my wife. A very kind gesture indeed, not to mention my wife said that I should come back and purchase a piece with him. The fact that he brought a pen out for her definitely swayed her. I didn't take any wrist shots so I apologiz
