Android Watches

You may have noticed that I also window-shop online.  Here’s one which caught my interest, an Android Watch!

There are Android phones and accessories…but have you heard of an Android Watch?  Yes, Android Watches are one of the newest trends in wrist watches for men and women.   Its modern, high-tech design is now classy and timeless.  Celebs like Jake Glyllenhaal, David Beckham and Christian Bale are seen wearing these timepieces.  Price ranges from US$ 79 to around US$200.  Look at some Android watches I found online....

This new Android XXL Divemaster Trans 52 for watch is grey and ready for adventure. It is big at 52mm and sports bold chronograph pushers and large crown on the left side of the watch. You have the option of wearing it on your right hand for traditional operation. It comes with a Swiss ISA quartz chronograph movement, an open date window, and luminous hour and minute hands and luminous hour markers. It is held on your wrist by a matching grey camouflage rubber strap.

Case: 316L stainless steel, 52mm diameter.Band: Matching thick grey camouflage rubber strap with a buckle closure. Water Resistant: 500 meters  Warranty: 2 Years  Price: US$145 + S&H

This Android Paris Bracelet Watch for women has 10 yr. Battery Life, both elegant and sporty looking with its solid-link, brushed stainless steel bracelet and stark silver/white rectangular dial. Silver numbers 12 and 6 are offset the blue luminous hour and minute hands. The bracelet features a buttery smooth butterfly clasp (push-button, dual deployant) for an almost seamless look on your wrist.  Inside the watch is a Swiss made Ronda quartz movement with a 10 year battery life expectancy (wow!).

Case: Stainless steel, 36mm x 22mm. Band:Stainless steel bracelet with butterfly clasp. Water Resistant: 3 ATM  Warranty: 2 Years  Price: US$ 109 + S&H

The advantages of these watches over other brands are that they have a 2-year warranty and longer battery life. They are stylish, sporty and affordable, too.  So, I hope these watches will be available here in Manila soon.

Btw, I also found other Android products which I will post later....

The Lady Collection by Swatch

I saw this Lady Collection from Swatch being promoted at the Today Show (a morning show in the US) and found it so cool and just perfect for summer.  

The Lady Collection from Swatch has the classic silicone strap, (ideal for those allergic with metal and leather straps) but this time, it's thin and extra long and wrapped around the wrist twice to look like a pop bracelet.  You can use two or three watches at the same time time for originality.  They are available in beautiful new colors.... light blue, purple, peach, light pink, blue, yellow, green, pale crimson, beige and while... in line with the latest trends... 


This is available at Swatch Stores located in major shopping malls nationwide for P2500 only.  


Well, I think this will be a nice graduation gift for my pretty niece who will be graduating this March.  I just wonder what color she may prefer....

Color Blocked Dresses, Shirts and Bags

Color Blocking, a trend which has been here for a while (I just learned that the correct term was "Color Blocking") but a trend still in Spring 2011 in the US and Europe....Please refer to my previous post on Color Blocking which I got from an article in the Internet... It was even mentioned by Vice Ganda at Showtime...

Color Blocking is a crazy mixing of colors (or a non-traditional way of combining colors) for an effect that could make a statement... Look at some of the color block bags and dresses available at Online Shops...

Even Collezione (C2) has color blocked shirts for men and women.... which have been available for a while now...

Sky Adventure at Crown Regency Towers Cebu

The Sky Adventure at Crown Regency Towers in Cebu has been featured in a lot of travel magazine shows on TV. We got a very cheap air ticket to Cebu via Cebu Pacific Seat Sale, so we decided to try this.  We got even more excited when we learned about the Sky Adventour Promo being offered by Crown Regency Towers!  Look at this great deal for P3999 only good for 2 persons....

• Overnight stay in a superior room 
• Buffet breakfast for 2
• International dinner buffet for 2 at Sparks Restobar
• Free entrance at the Sky Observatory
• Sky Ride (either at Edge Coaster or Sky Walk Extreme) or 4D theater show

The nice room has 2 queen-sized beds with TV and ref...

clean and spacious bathroom...

The Edge Coaster at the 38th floor*... you need to try this even once in your lifetime!  Being afraid of heights, I thought I would have never enjoyed this....but I was wrong!

The Skywalk at the 37th floor*... get a very nice view of Metro Cebu...

Manny Pacquiao at the Skywalk with a view of Metro Cebu at night*...

The Sky Observatory...you need P10-coin to be able to use the deck telescope.. the view is fantastic!

www.manilashopper.com

Some important notes:

1)  For Sky Walk and Edge Coaster:

Pregnant women and persons with history of serious ailments or injuries are not allowed.

No bringing of loose items including cell phones and cameras.

No slippers or sandals.  They can provide you with rubber shoes but you need to buy a pair of socks worth P20.

2)  Cameras are not allowed, but one of the crew will take your pictures.  You need to pay P230 per picture. 

3)  For Edge Coaster - If you travel in a group, perhaps you may want to re-group (say, 2 members only in a group) and take turns, so that somebody can stay at the sky observatory (picture above) and  take the pictures from there.  For Skywalk, I don't think there's no other alternative but buy the pictures.

4)  The Hotel Managers are always kind and considerate enough to suit the package to your needs, so better check with them (or the front desk) what options you may have if you don't want to avail of the breakfast  (for example) and wanted to exchange it with 2 skyrides instead (which was what we did)...

5)  This promo runs till Dec 15, 2011.  So, I think you still have some time to plan for it, esp this summer vacation....(I don't think it's a good idea, tough, to take this during the rainy season).

6)  Crown Regency also offers promo for 3-Day/2-night package so, please check with them for promo packages which you can avail.  Please also check out the promo I saw from E-bay Promo from E-bay 

For further info please check Crown Regency Website or Sky Experience Adventure Website

This is our favorite factory outlet store because the prices here are indeed factory outlet prices...in fact, a lot lower than what the malls offer during their sale events.  Almost all items are at least 50% off, and some at 70% to 80% off from the original prices...

(update: December 2021 - This is still open)
