Hitachi’s new watch will monitor your notorious lifestyle

Hitachi has a new watch to show to the world, at their 100th anniversary mini exhibition in Tokyo. It’s called the Hitachi “Life Microscope” watch. For some reason, it’s able to detect what activity you’re doing just by the motion of your wrist, and is also capable to record every single movement that you produce, like how long you walk or rest, your duration of sleeping and working time, and even video gaming and eating. All these data will be collected via software, and shown to your doctor.

Due to the accuracy of the data, Hitachi is capable to give extremely accurate information to both patient and doctors to better study ones activity and to better help them in their recovery or daily exercises. Now you can’t escape from lying to Santa that you’ve been nice.

Kenneth Cole Touch Screen watch

Touch screen monitors, touch screen smartphones, touch screen nettops, now it’s the watch’s turn. Kenneth Cole Touch Screen watch utilizes the touchscreen ability to navigate around its functions, making the watch clean and sleek without those bulky dials. Made of stainless steel cases, the watch only contains one button. Features are like 32-city world time, chronograph, electro luminescent backlight, a sleek silicon strap or optional black enamel-coated link band. Scoring 150 bucks, and another 25 bucks for the optional strap, this thing boasts another great feature, which is water resistance. Sweet isn’t it? Well the fun stops there, as you can’t start a car with this, and there’s no laser beam integrated in it.
