So I was delighted to hear that Pebble is coming out with a new watch called Pebble Time that they are also funding on Kickstarter. Looks pretty interesting to me.
So I just saw this watch the other day and really think it is one of the coolest designs I have ever seen. Not a bad price but for a top notch time piece. It is called the Ressence Type 1.

If you have not heard about this it is really a cool story. Phil Venditti teaches public speaking and he took a sabatical from his day job at Clover Park Technical College in Washington state to create this group of 50 videos of prominent public speakers. These are now open content for use with many different types of classes for this subject. There is a great piece on this at Creative Commons - http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/42373 but you can check out the videos on Phil's YouTube Channel.
Just got my latest watch in the mail from an ebay auction. It is a Doxa anti-magnetic analog watch from the 1950s - really cool watch with a little wear and tear. Could be my smallest, thinnest watch ever! A first!
So I just got a new watch a Seiko SSC015P. Really nice solar powered analog movement with chronograph. Keeps excellent time and has nice screw down pushers for the chronograph.
Thinking about putting a NATO type band that I have on it but so far I do like the stainless bracelet that it came with.
