The adventure starts here. A unique combination of style and technology, the E-Instruments collection provides you with the watch you need to enhance your lifestyle. At the press of a button, the E-Tide-temp-Compass watch transforms from an elegant timepiece to a marvel of advanced technology. Engineered to meet the toughest challenges – no matter what direction they come from.

Monitor tides and temperatures with the push of a button. A dedicated fourth hand on this rugged watch indicates tidal trend and current air or water temperature. Easy-to access controls allow you to check for the latest data changes without putting down your rod or paddle. Also includes electronic compass with analog display. Active bezel with compass bearings. Indiglio night-light makes viewing easy in low-light conditions. Streamlined design is appropriate for everyday wear. Water-resistant to 100 meters. Stainless steel case and waterproof leather band.

The clock has a date window at the at the 4 o’clock position, it has INDIGLO® back light, luminous hands and hour marks that make it easier to see at night. This is especially good if you are camping and don’t want to scramble to find the torch to see what time it is in the darkness of night. The watch has a unique blend of style and technology that makes this a watch to beat. For the price of around 72.99GBP you will struggle to find a better watch for the price.
The watch looks very stylish and can be worn with many types of clothing. It goes with almost any colour and looks especially good with sports gear. When we have our outdoor clothing on this watch looks the part. In compass mode you have a 20-second ‘time out’ with a 2-way directional turning ring. In compass mode red points North. The temperature mode is pretty handy in degrees celsius and degrees farenheit. This is accurate and has not failed yet. The battery that you will need is CR2016 and has a life of three years.

It bears the name of Tony Stark’s armored persona, looks like Spiderman’s wristwatch, and gives you controlling powers like that of Professor X. Okay, the last bit was a little exaggerated. Still, the Timex Ironman iControl for iPod is loaded with features that should keep you pounding the pavement hard. It helps you control iPod nanos, classics, and 5th-gen iPods remotely. Telepathy not included.

This Timex wristwatch should set a trend, especially among the hordes of gym rats, weekend runners, and even triathletes. Music, experts say, boosts your energy at any stage of training provided you play the right tunes. With this on hand, you could easily set a playlist and switch tracks without the hassle of fumbling for your iPod.

The iControl’s web-like strap makes sure it stays on whatever you do. Besides the Chrono feature to time your runs, it also has an Interval Timer to bring your cardio training to a higher level. And it’s water resistant up to 100 meters, thus making it your almost-complete triathlon companion. We say almost because the only thing lacking is a heart-rate monitor and a display panel that shows what track is currently playing.

Daydreaming aside, this gadget is perfect not only for the active but also for the sedentary. Hook your iPod to a speaker and you can control it from up to 10 feet away – perfect for maneuvering through traffic or lounging at home. If only we could do something about the price tag that’s undeserving of the iControl’s toy-like appearance.
