While many here in the US are likely preparing to blow some stuff up, err, celebrate the Fourth of July with a nice low key family bar-b-que — it looks like Netflix has added a bunch of content that may make the geekier in the audience smile a bit. With that, and as was previously more »

Today, Garmin announced a new addition to their fitness line of devices, the FR60. The FR60 is a fitness watch that can be used to accurately record your workout data and then transfer it to a nearby computer for further analysis. It can be rather annoying when you spend a whole lot of time exercising, but are not exactly sure how high your heart rate is, your average speed and distance if running, or how many calories you are burning.

The FR60 uses the ANT+ interface to record data from other ANT+ compatible devices and stores that information on the watch. The FR60 is available in both men’s and women’s versions, and comes with a wireless USB ANT + stick that you can put into your PC or Mac to transfer the data. Whenever you are in close enough range to a computer, the data will wirelessly transfer from your watch to the computer. The heart monitor and foot pod even turn on themselves when movement is detected, so just in case you forget to turn the device on, it will automatically start recording. In addition, the watch itself can store up to 15 hours and 100 laps of workout information, so no need to constantly delete previous workouts.

Everybody loves a challenge, but when it takes 10 minutes to work out the time you probably have the wrong watch. However for the sake of geeky-ness and pure novelty value I will continue and introduce the “Fire,” the new watch from Tokyoflash.

And flash it most definitely is. It has a sleek, modern and almost minimalistic design, or at least it is until you press the buttons and the concealed red, blue and yellow LEDs spring to life. This is where your problems begin as the lights arrange themselves in a way in which it is possible to tell the time, just not easy. Continued after the break.

The buzz at the Hong Kong Electronics Fair came with the judging for the 10th HKEIA Award for Outstanding Innovation and Technology. Some of the entrees that won have been kept so secret, there is no information on the Internet about them yet, not even on the manufacturers’ sites. I am sure that will change as soon as the fair ends and the real marketing starts. In such cases, links to manufacturers’ websites have been provided for future reference.

Each winner received a trophy and a year’s worth of bragging rights. Check out the winners after the break and come back tomorrow for my thoughts on these winners.
