Every now and again, you’ll see something pop up on the watch forums, and you think “Why not? I’ll take a flier on that one.” That’s what happened to me when I ran across someone selling HMT Pilot watches, direct from the factory in India. Continue Reading
We’ve been keeping you up to date with hands-on reviews of the Egard lineup as they add models; today, we’ll be taking a look at their latest – the Hunter. Continue Reading
Whether or not you like them or not (or think Apple has one coming), Smart Watches are definitely starting to become a prevalent segment. Time will tell if they have staying power, or will go the path of things like the SPOT watches. Today, we’ll have a look at the first one I’ve had a chance to review, the MetaWatch Strata.

Today brings us to the second sample that Gavox sent over for us to review, which is also part of their Curtiss P-40 lineup. While yesterday’s example had a more simple presentation, today’s watch has the addition of one of my favorite complications. Continue Reading
Today, we’ll take a look at the first of two samples that Gavox sent over for review (and yes, that watch name is quite a mouthful). Before we get into the watch, though, Continue Reading

The band, which senses your blood flow, body temperature, and perspiration along with steps and motion, is a small, discreet watch-like system that works surprisingly well as a standard pedometer but offers a way to break bad habits and make new ones.
I’m a longtime fan of quantified health devices for the simple reason that they offer immediate feedback on my current activity level and health. I’ve been using Fitbits for as long as they’ve been available and I’ve managed to lose 20 pounds by keeping my activity up and not eating like a slob. The Basis is different in that it offers the same features as a Fitbit but with a few improvements. For example, on the bottom of the watch there is an optical BPM heart sensor as well as leads for perspiration sensing and temperature. Because it is a watch you can wear the device overnight and monitor your sleep habits as well.
