Polar FT80 Fitness Training Computer is more than just a watch

This Polar FT80. It's an intelligent training computer you wear on your wrist. With its built-in heart monitor, it can tell how you're tolerating exercise, and when you attach the optional G1 GPS module, it figures in your speed and distance traveled. We like its strength recovery capability, telling you when you're ready for more exercise after a rest.

This has got to be one of the coolest-looking watches ever — we thought it was a design concept at first. But be sure you see it in your own hands before buying, because we've seen a comment noting its dim display and too-basic GPS functions. With the G1 GPS sensor, it's $429.95; without, it's $329.95.

LED watch doesn't have a face, is as simple as can be

Designed by Hiranao Tsuboi. It looks like a watch band all the way around with no face to speak of, but in fact the watch is built right into the band. As you can see, the numbers light up around the segments of the watch band, making the entire watch a seamless circle. It might be difficult to tell which way is up for the watch, but the simple, clean design makes it totally worth it.
