Here’s Fossil Meta Watches, two Bluetooth-equipped timepieces available with both analog and digital faces. The analog one sports two 16×80 white OLED displays while the digital one has a 96×96 reflective display. The thing about these is that Fossil offers an SDK/API to allow programmers to change and customize the functionality and send data to them wirelessly. Might not be something for casual Joe but it’s a nice effort nevertheless.

Other features include accelerometer, 3ATM water resistance, ambient light sensor, rechargeable batteries and stainless steel cases with leather straps.

Griffin Technology has revived the old metal slap bracelet and wrapped it in soft silicone, creating a flexible steel band that is flat until you slap it on your wrist, adjusting itself to your wrist. Just put your iPod Nano in there and it’ll stay put and protect the dock connector and volume control while leaving the headphone port open.

Nooka just revealed the latest addition to their line of original timepieces, the Zub Zayu, featuring the largest display of the Zub models. “Sayu” is Japanese for “left and right” and this assymetrical watch can be worn on both left and right wrists. As with similar Nooka watches you read the time by counting the dots for the hours while the vertical bars shows minutes and seconds.

The Zub Zayu is available in four different colors: black, gray, yellow, purple/magenta and blue and besides regular time and date it has alarm, chronograph as well as a sleepmode to help conserve battery.
