Walkie Talkie Watches

What are They?
It doesn’t take a genius to work out what Walkie Talkie Watches could be. Yes. you guessed it…. Its two watches that double up as walkie talkies. Granted, the first thing we thought was “a walkie talkie in a watch! That’ll be poo, as it will have no range, eat batteries, have no functions and be seriously fiddly/difficult to use”. So naturally we had to have a closer look.
At first glance we were surprised by the size. They are oversized, compared to a Casio watch, but not as much as you might think. The face of the “watch” only measures in at 7 x 6 x 2.5cm and when you consider that the aerial can be folded in and out when needed it is surprisingly small. The next thing we noticed was that they come with an AC adapter and earpiece each. So the AC adapter means no replacing batteries, Bonus! And the AC adapter means no batteries necessary, double bonus!

What is it?
This is no “Wind Up”, ha ha (had to get that joke in before anyone else). What you’re looking at is a set of walkie talkies that are powered through the age old art of winding. Like clocks of old, to make these little eco-gadgets work you simply flick out the wind handle, take a firm grip of these Wind Up Walkie Talkies and “wind” like a good-un. The wind to power ratio works out quite nicely: One minute of winding equates to 10 minutes of standby or 2 minutes of talk time and if you wind your way to a full charge it will give you 8 hours of standby or an hour and a half of talk time!
Spy Sun Glasses
December 1, 2008
If you know GFM you will know that we love spy gadgets that have practical uses. Yep we actually love them and these funky looking spy camera sun glasses are no exception. Hold up! A practical use for spy camera glasses? Honestly? Bear with us and all will be explained.
So lets start with the basics. They are essentially a pair of smart looking shades with 1GB of memory and a 1.3 mega-pixel covert camera built in. Our first thoughts were along the lines of; “How the hell are you going to be able to hide a 1.3 mega-pixel camera and all the rest of the electronics involved ‘covertly? The glasses will be much bigger than usual and any numpty will easily be able to tell something is up!” Yes, the arms of the shades are slightly oversized but not to the extent we were expecting.

I love multi-purpose gadgets, especially ones with practical and covert uses. This little gem of a voice recording watch is just such a gadget. Concealed within this fine piece of craftsmanship is 1GB of flash memory attached to a microphone. You may be asking how this is practical or covert. Or you might have already seen the nearest uses this gadget could be used for.
The microphone is cleverly placed so that you can clearly record while the watch is still on your wrist. This makes it very easy to covertly record conversations without raising suspicion. Perfect for people who need that extra bit of evidence or to catch that embarrassing info on tape that will allow you to extort pints from friends in exchange for your silence.
