The Quiksilver Rubix watch is the ultimate in techo-style. A ruggedly durable yet simplistic watch that is water resistant up to 10 atmospheres. The wrist band is one inch wide and has a bare analogue face without numbers. Inside is the 2 hand quartz analogue gear set.

This watch comes in two colors and has a stainless steel outer edge for added enforcement. Im my opinion this is a sports watch i could wear anywhere i go. It’s relatively cheap so i would’nt care if i broke or lost it. Just a casual everyday watch that would look great with a nice pair of khakis and a t-shirt. I think i might have to get one of these for sure.

Petzl Tactikka XP Headlamp

climbing head lamp

This has got to be the coolest looking headlamp. I’d buy one even though I never leave this computer or my house for that matter. The Petzl Tactikka XP will accurately light your way but will allow you to maintain your night vision. The headlamp comes with 3 colors of lenses that have can be used in a variety of situations such as map reading and times when you need a wide angle lens.

The camouflage pattern is my favorite, the extra lenses have a special compartment on the headband. Speaking of headband, it has an adjustable clip for a comfortable fit. The spot light can shine up to 35 meters and the floodlight emits a sharp proximity beam when using the wide angle lens. It also comes with a battery light indicator warning so you don’t get stuck in a cave 50 feet below the sea floor. Truly one of the most magnificent headlamps and definitely worth a second look.
