Technology: Multi-media watches

If there were things that give pride to men, it could that mobile phone, watch, suit, or even wallet referring to money among others. This being a technology column, I will obviously consider technological appliances. Mobile phones have had a lot of coverage and they will continue because of their dynamic status. However, I will consider the watches that would define a man’s status or make heads turn. Watches are rarely given recognition but a glance at some may raise many an eyebrow, it maybe due to their material like gold for Seiko or functions in Casio. Since the material cannot be considered under this column, let’s take a look at their multi-media functions. In Casio, the 1987 model known as Casio TM-100 F. It has a radio station on your wrist that can transmit your voice to a local FM radio using its antenna. It has a Digital LCD that displays time, day, and date. Another Casino type is the Casio TC-600 which has a touch screen for performing calculations. This Casio model has a stainless steel bracelet and its screen draws numbers for selection with your finger and also has an alarm, and stopwatch. A surprise package is a Digital MP4 wrist watch that enables you view music and videos with lyrics. It is a fully functional digital wrist watch which doubles as a 1GB capacity MP3/MP4 player. Its MP4 function supports MP3, WMA, and MP4 format with up to 8 hours of music playback, and supports JPEG format for viewing your favourite pictures at any time. This MP4 watch is thin and lightweight and features a comfortable rubber click watch strap that provides hours of comfort with a five equalizer and super bass sound modes a perfect sound. This digitalised wrist also supports high quality digital recording, and support for several languages. It also supports USB, earphone and charger connectivity. Ends
