Predictions on the death of the wristwatch have been made time and time again. Supposedly, the wristwatch's function has been supplanted by the clocks in our mobile phones and computers. But the device remains popular, both for practical reasons and as a fashion accessory. So take a look at some timepieces that are in the latest high-tech style. The brushed titanium limited-edition Zermatt from IceLink is showcased in the film “Time Framed,” and worn by Ian Somerhalder's character Agent Black as he undertakes his mission to stop the heist of a revolutionary clean energy device. Zermatt has a one-of-a-kind rectangular mechanical movement that simultaneously powers all six zones in the timepiece. At the other end of the wristwatch spectrum is the Potty Watch. This is a fun way to speed up the toilet training process. The Potty Watch can be set to go off every 30, 60 or 90 minutes. Lights flash and a song plays, letting the toddler know it's time for a bathroom break. Then the timer automatically re-sets to give the child consistent reminders all day long. Casio has been redefining the wristwatch for years by applying the latest technologies. Now, Casio's application of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) positions the company to create new possibilities for the way people use their watches. The Casio Bluetooth G-Shock provides Bluetooth time sync, alerts for incoming calls and emails, in addition to a Find Me function in which alarm and vibration functions on an iPhone can be activated using the buttons of the watch. If totally precise time is the reason you wear a watch, then go with the Seiko Astron. By developing its own patented, low-energy-consumption GPS receiver, Seiko has been able to create a watch that can receive GPS signals and identify time zone, time and date data using the global network of GPS satellites. The hands adjust automatically to the correct local time with Atomic Clock precision. The watch is solar powered, so never needs a battery change and it also has a perpetual calendar, so the date will always be as accurate as the time. Last today, let us show you the Kisai Uzumaki from Tokyo Flash. This wristwatch offers a vortex shaped lens, a colorful spiraling display and bright Electro Luminescent backlighting. “Uzumaki” comes from the Japanese word for whirlpool. The colored swirls indicate the time – hours on the outside, minutes on the inside. The hand counts out the seconds. Can you read the time on the watch shown here? It's 2:27.
