SwissarmynightvisionwatchThe Swiss Army Night Vision Watch isn’t very couture but since it’s a pretty unique gadget we have to mention it. The watch has a flashlight that can shine a bright beam ahead of you, which for example, could be helpful for finding your way to the bathroom at night. It also has a small red LED locator light that flashes every 10 seconds to guide you in a darkened room. At the push of a button, a soft blue light illuminates the dial; a second push activates the white LED flashlight at the front of the watch. A third push of the button activates a powerful strobe to guide others to your location. The watch is also water resistant up to 30 meters. It retails for $295.00 at Neiman Marcus & Hammacher and Schlemmer.

    Hmmm, what a great idea. Too bad it doesn’t have a push button, pop-up magnifying lens — to check out the price on that bottle of wine or the details on her new tattoo –to go with the light. And too bad it’s not priced at around $80.

    Our iBEAM watch has been around for over 6 years. Check it out at ibeamtime.com.
