As you know I love the abbreviation PMP, and here we have one for the gentleman whose other gear is weighing a brutha down. That's right, the Aigo MP4 player is superlightweight! No more gazing back and forth between the geek shop storefront and ice shop storefront, trying to visualize whether you can physically take the punishment of utilizing your PMP and your 24-carat neck spinner simultaneously. Nah, it's settled now. (save, for the part that the watch looks a bit, um, fruity)

It's cold, it's pretty, ergo, it's Finnish! The model shown here is called "Loiste" (the Finnish word for shine, or glory) -- 30 of these have been produced in two years. And judging by it's heavy-ish metal frame, the name stems from the bright red shine your skin will take after wearing it in the sauna and burning its impression into your wrist.

A sunshine-y day when I take my Prius out for a spin with my left (watch-bearing) arm dangling out the window, collecting those lovely charging rays -- I think is the picture the company wanted to paint with their pseudo-English description:

Bulova Inc. produced a series of Op-art pioneer Victor Vasarely late in his career. The four squares model pictured here has you think at first it's one of those pieces where you relax your eyes in order to view the picture hiding within. Then you realize it's not one of those. Then you realize it's actually a watch. Then you realize you're not able to find the watch hands. Then you relax your eyes.

...Comes the Blackhawk Special Ops watch. Supposedly the world's only electromagnetically rechargeable timepiece -- it can dive to 330 feet and the LED can be read up to a mile away -- which sounds cool, until you realize that to keep it charged you'll find yourself hanging out above the arctic circle for that fat chunk of electromagnetic chargeness by the Northern Lights. Then you'll flash your LED light and wonder why everyone is looking up at the sky instead.

This contraption is strapped onto to your child (or husband/wife) and, through its connection to a base unit, informs you if he/she has wandered out of allowed wander area. At which time you are informed of the wanderer's location so you can punish (or divorce) him/her. There is a luxury line designed by Martha Stewart.

The Timex Triathalon Dual Tech, in addition to being featured in a new Will Ferrell movie, can tell the time. Sorry if that seems underwhelming, but I'm grasping for a reason why someone would buy this if it wasn't in a Will Ferrell movie. (besides the longevity angle: its calendar can be set until 2099, so if you make an agenda item for 2097, maybe you'll end up living that long?)

The Brando MP4 watch is a USB 2.0 wrist PMP (oh yes you know you love that abbreviation) that houses a full gig of flash memory. Record and playback, MP3s, WMVs, and what ever else you feeling like throwing on to this awkward apparatus. Just, please, long sleeve shirts only.

In principle the sheer geek stupidity of this little pair would be enough for me to pick it up, especially at under $20. Though I could imagine it has a range of, oh, I don't know, four and a half feet. Not to worry however, attach a string and a pair of cans to them and you've just quadrupled your range.

Okay, okay, so obviously the makers of this all-wooden pocket watch were going for the "cool" factor, over practicality, especially when you consider that Russia is not exactly a bastion of aridness. (yes, uh, my watch has woodrot, ahem) But still...wood? Seeing as this was early 20th century, sign of impending implosion of Russian monarchy, or good ole fashioned ostentation, or both? You decide.
