I think it’s the bright full-color 7-inch diagonal TFT LCD screen that’s got me hooked. I’m so used to seeing crummy monochrome displays on weather devices. The screen can display indoor and outdoor temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, phase of the moon, times of sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset, among other things. To provide accurate weather info, a wireless sensor sits outside your house and transmits a wide variety of climactic information back to the basestation.

Speaking of other things – when you’re done checking the weather, flip over to photo frame mode, and you’ll be able to display images from Compact Flash, SD, MMC, Memory Stick™, and xD memory cards — or if you don’t have one lying around, there’s a wee bit of internal memory (128 MB), which can hold direct transfers from your computer.

And thanks to a built-in atomic synchronized alarm clock, you just might want to put this on your bedside table in place of your crappy old clock radio. The digital weather station / photo frame is available now from Hammacher Schlemmer for $199.95.

Also along for the ride are an altimeter, thermometer and barometer for tracking weather conditions. There’s even analog and digital magnetic compass displays so you can get your bearings when you’re lost in the woods. A chronometer lets you track time in 1/100th of a second intervals, while a tachymeter lets you calculate the rate of speed traveled over a specific distance in a particular amount of time.

All of the models are water resistant to 100 feet, and feature durable mineral glass crystals. Glow-in-the-dark hands let make it easy to read in dark conditions. The HT2 comes in three variants, ranging in price from $295 to $345 USD and can be found on the Timberland online store.

By combining all of these features onto a single large LCD screen, the Status clock gives you a heads-up display of all this information at once. It even reports both indoor and outdoor weather conditions thanks to a wireless remote temperature and barometric sensor.

While it’s designed for wall mounting, I also think it would look really good on a mantel or a console table. To give you a sense of size, the clock measures in at 14.25″(w) x 4.5″(h) x 1.25″(d), so it looks substantial, while maintaining a slim profile. Plus, since it runs on batteries, you won’t have to deal with any cords.

The LEXON Status clock is available from Singulier for €99 (appx. $135 USD.)

The watches can track weather conditions in amazing detail, including a barometer with storm alerts, temperature down to 1° of accuracy, and even graph historical weather trends. There’s a compass with digital bearing information so you’ll never get lost in the woods.

If you like to ascend heights, it’s got an altimeter, measuring how far you’ve traveled towards your goals, and can even log your climbing history. If you prefer to descend, it’s got a depth meter, that can measure up to 30 feet under water (the watches are water resistant to 100 feet, FYI.)

Oh yeah, this thing is an great watch too. It’s got a full calendar, dual time zone support, alarm clock and can figure out sunrise/sunset times too. It’s all presented on a cool high-tech liquid crystal display with electroluminescent backlighting.

The Suunto Core watches will be shipping in a variety of cool colors and styles, with my favorite being the Core Light Green. Pricing hasn’t been announced.

These compact Weather Hubs (6.6″ x 3.1″ x 0.8″) can be easily mounted on a wall, on a desktop using a built-in kickstand, or even on a refrigerator thanks to an included magnetic mount. The unique design features two LCDs: on one side, it shows icons for the upcoming weather conditions (sunny, partially cloudy, cloudy, rainy); on the other side, the current indoor temperature in C° or F°.

Weather Hubs retail for $19.99 (but can be found for quite a bit less on eBay.) They comes in four colors: white, red, black and blue to suit your individual taste.
