This watch mixes three things I love: a nice size, a great brand, and a good movement. This odd digital watch is actually being sold by Seiko right now for about $898 direct from Japan and it’s actually totally worth it. This is a nice watch. It uses a 6R15 movement with hacking and it’s a hefty 43mm wide. You’ve even got a see-through back. I’m in love.

Ah, Japan: where your dreams of creating that one useless and barely entertaining technological marvel may come true. Take this new Tuttuki Bako game from Bandai, for example (via Technabob). Essentially, it’s a box with an LCD screen and a hole on the side for you to put your finger in. The screen then displays your finger in pixelated form along with other objects — like a stick man or a panda clutching a ball — for you to virtually poke and prod. Okay, so it’s not exactly a “game” per se — more like a digital version of a bug caught in a jar. There may not be any objectives for this little device, but it still certainly seems like some sort of abandoned peripheral for the old-school Game Boy. I think we can all imagine where this concept might go from here, though. Shudder.

While ordinary pedometers only cover the fitness angle, the Taxi Walker Pedometer from Happinet tells you not just how many calories you’ve burned at the end of a journey, but also how much money a taxi ride for the same distance would have cost you.
As much series as it is fun, the Taxi Walker’s display mimics a real taxi meter, while the design evokes the iconic checkered cab. The authentic touches don’t end there: this inventive pedometer uses actual taxi rate calculation and can be adjusted for different regions, as fares differ across Japan. The fare steps up every 50 steps and the display offers you a countdown of how many steps you have to go—just in case you want to make like a real taxi driver and take that extra step to up the charge. An optional sound will alert you to each fare increase.
