Completing the experience, there's a multi-color LED lighting system that changes its pattern and color to fit the mood of the music.

Eco-Friendly Timepiece: Quiksilver Ray Watch

Quiksilver is releasing a strange concept watch and, most importantly, it’s an eco-friendly timepiece. The eco-friendliness refers to the fabrication process, which also leaves a carbon footprint.

It does seem to have borrowed Tokyoflash's flare for the unique. I wonder if the design is somehow restricted by the eco-friendly fabrication process.


Check out the video:

In addition, the eco-friendly packaging is shipped by ship rather than by air (saving on CO₂ emissions) and is made of largely recyclable materials like wood, stainless steel, aluminum, and mineral glass.

The Ray has a limited run of 1,000 pieces.

The Suunto X10 includes an altimeter, barometer, digital compass, thermometer, and an extensive memory, as well as the usual time/stopwatch functions.

When navigating with the Suunto X10 on a preplanned route it shows you the direction you need to head and the estimated time of arrival. There is the "find home" preset which can lead the user back to the start point marked "Home". In addition you can also use the "track back" function which can guide you back along any recorded route.

Suunto X10 offers a battery life that is 33% longer than that of X9i and it has its own USB charger which can also be used to transfer data.
