Magwear is a wrist mounted workspace to store small metallic (iron based) parts. They stay put thanks to a rare earth magnet embedded in the base of the platform. The wrist strap is fully adjustable and can be just as handy for small weapon parts as well as other chores.

Ful or Less? The Citizen Eco-Drive Proximity

Monday, September 3rd, 2012

The new Citizen Eco-Drive Proximity is not only solar powered but it also connects via Bluetooth to your iPhone. The point of the system is that it has small indicators on the face and the second hand swings to one of them to indicate that there is something on your iPhone that needs attention, for example a message or meeting. the advantage is that you can leave your phone in your bag or pocket and still be notified by your phone even when it is silent. What do you think about your devices talking to one another? Could this be applied in other instances as well?
