Hybrid Time Wristwatch Design (Second Life)

I look through a lot of fancy magazines and see lots of ads for crappy overpriced "luxury" time-pieces. So, thought I'd try drafting one myself in SL.

I'm pretty happy with the result. People with sharp eyes will notice that the analog clock on the left has 10 rather than 12 'hour' markers; that is because the red clock displays Metric Time rather than standard 12/24 hour time.

Yes, the watch has no band, I know this. Buy your own and put it on, lol. Most modern high-roller watches utilize a faux alligator skin which looks like crap. I recommend nylon.

Details:

Pretty obvious, the red clock is metric, the blue is standard- the two corresponding date boxes are color coded to match. The two clocks merge in the middle to form a characteristic "infinity" symbol, which of course represents the timelessness of time.

The larger face of the watch is a high-efficiency solar panel, eliminating the need for battery replacement. Both clocks are set automatically via GPS signal.

Special Features:

As a joke I slipped in a stop sign motif to signify the ultimate futility of keeping track of something that doesn't actually exist.

What is a good GPS watch for running?

I am looking for a good GPS watch that isn't that bulky/heavy.

Even though it is a bit bulky, I like the Garmin Forerunner 205. I love it and use it a lot, especially on trail runs. It records distance, elevation changes, pace, calories burned, and all sorts of other stuff. For about an extra fifty dollars more, you can get the Forerunner 305 which has a heart rate monitor.

Garmin Forerunner 405 GPS Sport Watch?

in put this in sports>running maybe i should have put it in electronics=\ maybe i'll post it again there
alright so I'm thinking of getting this Garmin gps wrist watch, i would just like some info from people who have one or have some experience with one. hows the battery life? it it somewhat easy to use? etc. etc.... any info would be great! I'm 17 and i run XC track 3k-half marathons and i think it would be a really great thing to have, it is about $300 though and i would be buying it with my own money but i think it would be worth it =] thanks everyone!

I'm 17 too and have one....and it was the best Christmas gift I got. I used it to run my 20k and it was a breeze. The battery life is supposed to be about 10 hours, but give or take. It will say when the battery is low, but I charge mine after about 3 runs just so it won't die during a run. It also has a biking mode, so I've been using that as well.

I like it for the sole purpose of getting to explore and not have to follow the same route all the time.

I think it's a good investment, especially if you're serious about running and plan to keep doing it!

Are there GPS watches now?

I have a GPS for my car. But do they have a GPS that can be handheld or wrist-worn that is audio?

Of course!!!

Here's one

Hi I am looking for a good watch does anymone know much about the Garmin 305 or any model of any GPS watch??

I am looking for a good quality GPS watch that is not to expensive. I know their are lots of gps watches, but what kind is best for the price
Well, we dont start running as a team until about mid August, but are coach wants us to run 200 miles, and yes i can drive, but their are areas like trails where I want to run.

I have never known a high schooler that wears a GPS watch and I wouldn't recommend one for you. Your coach knows how far things are and if you're concerned about how far you're going, map it out with a car or bike. I wear the Timex Ironman with a 50-lap memory. It's a perfect watch.

Can you track a spouse if they wear a GPS watch?

Ok so lets say you suspect your spouse of cheating or at least not being honest about where they have been, so you get them a GPS watch because you cant spend your day following them or calling, will you be able to check their location if they have the watch on? How do they work exactly? I was also told about GPS I could put in the car, but it seems they have to be charged by a cigarette lighter, and how obvious is that if they can see it charging!

....Sounds like you have some trust issues. Why are you married to someone you don't trust...doesn't make any sense.

Is Forerunner 205 – Garmin GPS a good watch???

Hey!
I'm thinking to get this watch for my dad's birthday. The description sounds like the watch he wants. But is their anything that you don't like about it. Where's a good place to get it at, the cheapest place. Is it going to be around 100.00 or more.

Thanks

I have used the Forerunner 205 and 305 and the only difference is that the 305 is compatible with (and sometimes depending on where you purchase it, it comes with) a hear rate monitor. So if that sounds like something your dad might be interested in than I would definitely go for the 305.

It is basically the god-watch of any passionate runner/athlete (you can use it for running and biking). The only "annoyance" I have with it is that it is kind of big on the wrist, it is light but bulky. It is slightly smaller than the circumference of a water bottle.

I recently discovered that I can customize the screens (three available screens to customize) to display up to four panels of information (this is on my 305: Cadence, Cadence-Average, Cadence-Per Lap, Calories, Date, Distance, Distance-Current Lap, Distance-Last Lap, Distance-Paused, Elevation, GPS Accuracy, Grade, Heading, Heart Rate, Heart Rate-Average, Heart Rate-Lap, Heart Rate Zone, Laps, Pace, Pace-Average, Pace-Best, Pace-Lap, Pace-Last Lap, Pace Zone, Time of Sunrise, Time of Sunset, Time, Time-Average Lap, Time-Lap, Time-Last Lap, Time-Paused Time of Day) which is a really nice feature I like.

So pretty much, except the size, I absolutely love this watch!

I got my 305 (I have only tried the 205, not actually owned it) at Costco for $180 ($200 retail + $20 coupon), and since at the time the MSRP was $399, I thought that was a great deal. Since now the MSRP for the 205 is $199, you can probably get it for under $100 if you wait patiently. I would definitely look at Costco, try eBay or Amazon. When I was shopping for my 305 on eBay I saw many around the $200 range. Right now on eBay there are 205's ranging from $50 to $150, and that's about as high as they go.

So good luck with this purchase, I hope you get a great deal on your 205 like I did on my 305, I am absolutely positive your dad will LOVE this watch!

Before you leave your car, just press the button for two seconds to save the location's coordinates. When you are walking back to your car the 360 degree directional lights on the watch will tell you which direction you should be walking. And then when you come within 50 meters of the saved location, the arrows around the watch face will begin flashing, and when you are within 15 meters the arrows will turn blue.

Don't let a massive sea of cars get you lost when your trying to find your car after watching a live football game at a stadium.
