Tissot T-Touch Multi-Function Wristwatch

Tissot T-Touch TitaniumTissot T-Touch is a multi-function watch with a timeless design. The model on the picture is a T-Touch Titanium. The analog display has luminous hands and indices, but the digital display is not illuminated. Analog and digital display both show the same time.

You activate functions (Meteo, Altimeter, Chrono, Compass, Alarm and Thermo.) by simply putting your finger on the respective icon. No pressure needed, just a touch! When you select “Thermo”, “Altimeter”, “Chrono”, or “Alarm”, the hour and minute hands come together over the icon that marks this function, and the value is displayed in the digital window.

The “Meteo” function is simply a weather forecast based on the trend of atmospheric pressure and temprature readings over the past eight hours which T-Touch performs automatically. When you select “Meteo” the atmospheric pressure is indicated in the digital display in hPa (hektoPascal). The position of the hands indicate a barometric trend. If the minutes are before the 12:00 this means that there is a drop in pressure and if minutes are after 12:00 this indicates an increase in pressure.

“Compass” mode functions like a conventitional compass does. The hours and minutes hands first move into exactly opposite positions and the minutes hand is oriented northwards. You’ve to hold the watch horizontally to get an exact reading.

After 30 seconds or when the center of the dial is touched, the hands return to their normal position, quiting modes.

Battery powered hand warmer - Sanyo Eneloop Kairo

Sanyo Kairo hand warmer

There was the chemically activated jelly-pack Chinese hand warmers which you had to put in hot water to get them ready for the next cold day. Sanyo Kairo is a more practical approach to warm your hands. Powered by an internal Lithium-ion rechargeable battery, allowing it to be recharged approximately 500 times. Kairo has an “On/Off” switch so you can use it only when you need it and save energy. That’s something you couldn’t do with the jelly-packs.

The PTC Heater integrated thermostat technology adjusts and stabilizes the temperature to prevent the device heating beyond the temperature you desire. The Eneloop Kairo can be adjusted to 2 settings; high at 43ºC for 5 hours and low at 41ºC for 6 hours. Charges up in about 5 hours with its own AC adapter and weights 85g.

USB Beverage Chiller

USB Beverage Chiller

A cool gadget from CoolIT Systems.

  • The coldplate chills your beverage to 45˚F (about 7.5 ˚C)
  • 1.2 Amps/5.75 Watts to operate
  • USB 1.1 and 2.0 Compatible
  • Works on Computers, XBOX and Playstation

The only drawback is that power consumption isn’t so low and it might not be ideal for use with low-grade laptop computers. After about half an hour, you can get an alert that USB ports are drawing too much power. On the other hand, half an hour is enough time to keep your favorite beverage cold.
