Yup, I’m now down to watches. I’ve always had a fascination towards watches. I chose my watch based on my requirements. My CASIO watch (shown on the right) has a home screen display of time, date (full display), 5 Alarms with Text Message, Hourly Notification, Dual Time (for another time zone storage), Countdown Timer (max 23 Hours, 59 Minutes) with a repeat continuous feature, a Stopwatch with Split Facility and a Telephone Number Memory of 30 Numbers with Names(I could have used that to my advantage in my B.Tech Internal Examinations, but I’m supposed to be a good guy, right? .. hehe…)
There are so many different and by ‘different’ I mean a lot more sub groups like – costly, concept, wierd, useful, geeky, techie, stylish, odd, imaginative, innovative, useless, heavy and so on. I managed to collect some stuff regarding some of the watches which fall in the above categories…. Have a look below and Enjoy…. Click on Read More for more details….
You can download the manual to any CASIO watch from here. For my manual, type “1600” on that page.

The O-Ring Watch By Phillippe Starck
Looking for functional, industrial design in a watch at a reasonable price? Starck-designed, Fossil O-Ring Watch definitely fits the bill with it’s uber-funky o-ring face and simplistic detailing. All for a cool $110 - comes in white, black or smokin’ grey.
Philippe Starck may have famously said "I believe in general that my job is absolutely useless" at the last TED Conference, but the designer-at-large is at it again: witness his new grommet-like watch for Fossil, which retails for $110. (core77)
Spherical Eris Watch by Pierre Junod
This spherical watch was designed and created by Pierre Junod and named after the recently discovered dwarf planet Eris. Being a uniquely spherical shape this innovative watch can be used either as a pocket watch or has a small desktop. I’m not quite sure how practical a ball shaped to watch in your pocket would be. However it would definitely be a good conversation starter.
Its case is constructed from anthracite anodized aluminum with laser engraved figures the white hour hand and orange second hand are behind a mineral glass centre.
Each watch is sold with a natural rubber strap to hang from your neck and have Swiss Quartz movement. The orange top pointer shows the minutes and the white lower pointer shows the hours. Available to purchase from Watchismo for $450 (USD).

Vulcania Watch
This is the Vulcania watch and it looks awesome. Designed by Fabrice Gonet and manufactured by HD3 Complication, it's got just the look I want in a watch. Which is a look that makes it a hassle to read the time and with some timebomb styling thrown in for good measure.
Each aspect of the time is viewed in its own unique way. The hours has a Price is Right style rotating wheel and the minutes are viewed on a circular dial. A small window will also display the current date. Sapphire glass panels on the front and back and side port holes allow for all of the steampunk-y innards to be viewed.
The watch will be unveiled this April and there will only be 11 made. Meaning they'll be ungodly expensive. I'd tell you how much they cost, but it doesn't matter because I purchased them all already. And I'm going to destroy all of them except one. What good is a badass watch if you know there are 10 other assholes out there with the exact same one?
Hiranao Tsuboi Minimalist LED Watch is,
Sadly, Just a Concept
There's minimalism, and then there's this LED concept watch from Hiranao Tsuboi at design firm 100%. The LED lights forgo the need for a watch face by being interwoven with the links on the wristband. The look is sleek, and unlike many concept time pieces these days, I can actually tell the time.
