Linde Werdelin "The Rock" Wrist Instrument For Skiing Or Trekking

Filed under: Gadgets, Timepieces / Watches

Always being improved (and offered in more and more colors), Linde Werdelin's "The Rock" is a serious computer device for your wrist. It is actually made to physically go over and attach onto Linde Werdelin timepieces, but can be worn separately. I reviewed a previous generation The Rock here (aka "The Land Instrument" was it was previously called). The device is pretty cool. Linde Werdelin designed it for people who like to ski, climb, hike, or just walk around with a cool aluminum computer on their wrist. The device is like a Casio Pathfinder, but it does more, and in a slicker manner.

Improved recently is the addition of an internal temperature sensor (which used to be an external sensor). Other sensors include a compass and altimeter. The device also has a series of clever log and alert functions. It is pretty cool actually and a must have for the serious gadget lover. Oh, I think it also tells the time!

Linde Werdelin Watches Present The "Test Set" For The Biformeter Curious

Filed under: Timepieces / Watches

Linde Werdelin aims to please and knows that you really need to handle their watches to appreciate them. That is a bit hard if you aren't near one of the few spots around the world where you can get their watches. Since conception they have offered a "trial run" of their line, and have just now revamped the watch trial program to include new watches. The new offer is better and easier than ever. Linde Werdelin presents the "Test Set," a combo pack of a watch plus Linde Werdelin's "The Rock" Land Instrument. It is a computer device that attaches on top of their watches that provides you with many sensors and useful features for extreme Earth surface exploration.

After filling out a short form, Linde Werdelin will send you a watch that you choose (depending on availability) and you can test it out for five days. If you don't like it, you can return it with no obligation to purchase. Available watches in the Test Set include the all titanium SpidoLite, Oktopus, The One (various styles), Two-Timer, and 3-Timer (various styles) watches. They will come with an aluminum The Rock as well. Very cool watches that I am a fan of. For more information go to Linde Werdelin.
