Geak II Watch Stretches The Limits Of Smartwatch Battery Life
Aside from the �C usually valid �C complaints that many smart watches look simply like a miniature slab with a watch strap attached, there is another major drawback that the current crop of smart watches has had�� and that is battery life �C or the lack thereof. The one exception to this has been Pebble, with the power-sipping e-ink display that it utilizes. While it does save battery life, it hardly has the flashy looks that we are expecting now from the Apple Watch and Android Wear. The Geak II looks to straddle that divide.Now, if you have not heard of the original Geak watch (since what we are looking here is in fact?the second version), you are not alone. Created by Shanda, the Geak has been pretty popular within its home country of China. With the Geak II, they are looking to stretch out into the international market, with an APAC-specific Kickstarter-type campaign over on Pozible.So, why does this particular watch matter? It is because of the promised battery life which is 3-4 days

WatchTime December 2012
Not sure if you've seen it yet, but wanted to mention that the new December issue of WatchTime is out and features the new extra-thin 39MM AP Royal Oak. Mine (magazine...unfortunately not an AP) just arrived in the mail. Great shot on the cover and a 15-page review including a disassembled view of the movement. Lots of other great info and articles...even has an article on Arnold's AP collection

Need help with my Dad's watch
My dad had worn this gold Omega De Ville for as long as I can remember. The story goes that somebody bought watches for my parents for their wedding. My mom didn't like the buyer, so she gave hers away. I imagine this means it dates from the late 60's. I remember my dad winding this watch every morning before he went to work. A few years ago, he stopped wearing this and went to a Suunto, I think because he couldn't manipulate the crown anymore, and he wanted a watch that was easier to read.The original bracelet, while being super cool, doesn't fit me and is not adjustable. It also has a good amount of wear and I don't know how fragile it is. I'm not sure it's something that could be fixed at an Omega repair center, nor do I think I would want them to.Anybody have any info on the watch, like age, movement? Or any ideas of what I could do with it? I took the bracelet off, the lug width is 14 mm, there aren't a lot of strap choices at that width. To put this on a NATO would seem

Lume Shots
Fooling around last night and came up with these on my SMP. As all Omega owners know; Omega Lume is the best and brightest hand down IMO Lume1.jpeglume2.jpeglume3.jpeg
