Fossil, a watch manufacturer is known for its exquisite and classic timepieces – watches.  

It recently came up with a new model, called Caller-ID watch, which if paired with a Sony Ericsson mobile phone, will let the wearer know of incoming text messages as well as caller ID.  

There are buttons that lets you decide which call to take and which to reject. It has a OLED display which is quite bright in colour and easily readable.  

Like many watches, it is water resistant as well. It is priced at US $ 249.

Now, there is a market full of gadgets - large or small - for mobiles phones but these little cuties just take the prize a little bit further.  

MoPods as they are called are cute little characters enclosed in their little glass domes and they move on the signal of receiving phone call or a text message at which they go crazy and a bright light also starts flashing.  

These work within a meter of your phone and are brilliant for noisy environments or for those, where you have to put your phone on silent.  

They include a penguin, a kitten, monster and a devil in red and can be attached to phones, bags, key chains, and belts and even hanged from necks and arms.  

These little cute critters cost only US $ 9.

Now there is a watch for all old-timers. And no, I am not talking about our grandparents for even parents for that matter, but all those, even us, who are fond of all things antique.  

The Digital Hour Glass Watch functions both as a hour glass as well as a conventional watch. It displays the time – hours at the top and minutes at the bottom.  

But its main feature is the hourglass features on the watch. The egg-shaped timer with sand falling form the top screen to the bottom is the main feature of the watch.

This is a wonderful device for all those social online community junkies.  

The SanDisk Sansa Connect MP3 player is a WiFi enabled music player that lets you access an online buddy list hear what your friends and network partners are listening to.

And possibly share your and theirs favourite songs over the net.  

It works well with Yahoo Music, in the similar way as iPod works with iTunes.  

All those who are interested, should be ready to slug out US $ 250 for this luxury.

All those absent-minded people raise your hand….huh! no hands, well, why am I not surprised…they probably forget to do so.   Joking aside, it can really be quite stressful to be living with such people. They often forget to remember discussions, things and much more.  

So what to do…..well the answer is…get a Loc8tor Tracking System. Now, at least YOU will be able to keep track of all things.  

This tracking system is a remote control sort of device that transmits radio frequency signals to tags attached to everyday household things. Things such as keys, wallet, remote control, and even children, can be easily located with just one press of button.  

This stress-reducing device comes at a hefty price of US $ 169.99

Now, here is set of headphones, that will literally set your mind, as well as your head pounding.  

Aptly named, Skullcrusher headphones, features an adjustable inline bass amplifier and speakers with industry first built-in vibrating subwoofers. All this adjustments, really drills the music into your brain.  

These can also provide a relief to your neighbours, who are fed up with your tow tier sub-woofer amp ripping their house walls.  

These rocking, head-thumping headphones are available for BP 39.95.

Are you a bird watching (I am talking about the winged-kind) then here is an optical device, just made for this hobby.  

The new Military Zoom binoculars are one of the most advanced set of field glasses ever produced. With these, anyone can literally, see the whites of a bird’s eye, some 500 yards away.  

You can also view certain planetary bodies, which will appear a wee bit closer than if you would see them with your naked eye.  

This wonderful set of viewing glasses comes with a hefty price tag of US $ 200.

The amount of injuries suffered in harmless, fun games is mind-boggling.  

Considering that in US, boys and even girls suffer life-threatening injuries while playing baseball and softball. Injuries suffered in these two games, exceeds even those suffered in more dangerous games such as football and ice hockey.   

Given this scenario, it is a good idea to pad up your young one in protective armour – and no, I am not talking about the body armour that soldiers wear in battlefield but small devices, that works where they are needed to work.  

Heart-Gard body shirt is one such device. This high-performance shirt has a built-in polyethylene dome that absorbs impact energy and repels it away from the heart.  

This highly useful, body protection garment costs US $34.

Those, who fancy some outdoor, adventurous photography, but hate carrying their bulky, expensive Nikon cameras to vacations, may just be in luck.  

The ‘Action Camera’, a small digital camera is just for the outdoorsy types. This tough, no-nonsense camera can be attached to a helmet, mast, handlebars, and even your feet (or maybe thigh) and to your hands.  

This handy camera is developed keeping in mind the new breed of adventure-junkies, who wish to boast their adrenalin rush thrills on online sites as MySpace or YouTube.  

The device comes with an inbuilt SD card slot, so that you could increase the onboard 32 MB memory up to 2GB.  

This tough, handy gadget comes with a retail price tag of US $ 179.91.

Do you like to sing, but are vulnerable to stage fright? Well, you are in luck. The ikaraoke, will let you comfortably practice your singing in the private confines of your own room.  

The device contains a microphone that easily plugs into your iPod and lets you sing to your heart content.  

This all-in-one microphone/microprocessor isolates the lead vocal track, and reduces it enough to let your voice into the front of the track and hence, it would seem that it is you, who is singing the actual song.  

The microphone can also control the volume, music and the reverberance. This wonderful, singing device costs US $ 54.
