			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you gotten tired of your old watch, or are you actually looking for one to augment your smartphone as your default time-telling device? Check out the DZ7164 from Diesel&#8217;s Youngblood line. It&#8217;s pretty beefy, and it&#8217;s got a cool digital display.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-94106" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/diesel-digital-dz-7164-youngblood.jpg" alt="diesel digital dz 7164 youngblood" width="600" height="476" title="diesel digital dz 7164 youngblood photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-94105"></span>The DZ7164 comes in all black, with a silicone band for comfort. The face of this watch is quite large, but that&#8217;s good in my book since I like big watches, especially ones with digital displays. The dot-matrix LED display reminds me of the Seiko <em>Final Fantasy</em> watch that they made a couple of years ago or the Spoon S.A.M.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-94108" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/diesel-digital-dz-7164-youngblood-side.jpg" alt="diesel digital dz 7164 youngblood side" width="600" height="600" title="diesel digital dz 7164 youngblood side photo" /></p>
<p>It costs around $89 over on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Diesel-Young-Blood-Quartz-Digital/dp/B0040UOGG0?tag=theawes-20">Amazon</a> and is also available in white, blue, silver and a couple of other colors. If you like shiny things, the <a href="http://store.dieseltimeframes.com/store/Diesel/en_US/shop/men/watches/digital/sba-dz7092p.html?parent_category_rn=229007&amp;departmentCategoryId=227029&amp;N=0&amp;Ns=p_msc7|0||p_weight|0&amp;pn=c&amp;cm_vc=227032&amp;rec=4&amp;imagePath=DZ7092">SBA</a> (DZ7092), sells for $170 and offers a stainless steel case and mirrored display.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Comic books are cool. I love <em>Batman</em>, <em>The Flash</em> and all the rest, but personally I draw the line at Superhero undies. But if you want a case of comic book crotch, you&#8217;ll be happy to know that Diesel has unveiled a line of superhero themed boxer briefs.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-75768" title="dc_comics_boxers_flash" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/dc_comics_boxers_flash.jpg" alt="dc comics boxers flash" width="600" height="410" /><br />
<span id="more-75758"></span>These boxers are all based on DC Comics characters. You can get <em>Batman</em>, <em>Green Lantern</em> and <em>The Flash</em> themed undies, as well as <em>The Joker</em> &#8211; but he&#8217;s not a superhero, so what is he doing in your underwear? They won&#8217;t give you super-powers, they will just make you feel like they do. Unless, that is, you consider light or temperature-sensitive prints that only show up under your own body heat, or designs that reveal themselves after time to be super-powers.</p>
<p><iframe width="620" height="379" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mEd8UQBH05Q?fs=1&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><em>The Flash</em> version is probably the coolest, since you don&#8217;t want those tacky <em>Joker</em> colors on your junk and also probably don&#8217;t want a Batsignal tramp stamp behind you. You can check them all out <a href="http://www.diesel.com/superheroes/">here</a>. It looks like they will cost you $34(USD) a pair and some shameful looks from your girlfriend. Girlfriend. That&#8217;s funny.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This new Diesel watch comes all in black, with something pretty unique. The case is angled and features plenty of analog hands, as well as a digital display that reminds me of a sonar display.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-63985" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/081211_rg_DieselBlackOutSBA_01.jpg" alt="081211 rg DieselBlackOutSBA 01" width="600" height="600" title="081211 rg DieselBlackOutSBA 01 photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-63984"></span>It&#8217;s called the Diesel SBA Black Out. It&#8217;s rather large and has an equally fat leather strap to fasten onto your wrist. The watch is also water resistant down to 50m. I can&#8217;t really tell if you can tell the time easily or not on this watch, since the main dial is somewhat recessed and a bit harder to read than the analog hands. It&#8217;s actually hard to tell if the digital movement is synchronized with the analog one, or if it just tells the seconds or time in another timezone. Either way, the design is appealing.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-63986" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/081211_rg_DieselBlackOutSBA_02.jpg" alt="081211 rg DieselBlackOutSBA 02" width="600" height="567" title="081211 rg DieselBlackOutSBA 02 photo" /></p>
<p>You can order your Diesel SBA Black Out watch (DZ1404) over at <a href="http://store.dieseltimeframes.com/store/Diesel/en_US/shop/men/watches/black_out/sba-dz1404p.html">Diesel Timeframes</a> for $250 (USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking for a new watch? I know I am and this Diesel watch looks pretty good. It&#8217;s unique in that it can display four different times on its face.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-27257" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/012710_rg_DieselTime_01.jpg" alt="012710 rg DieselTime 01" width="600" height="723" title="012710 rg DieselTime 01 photo" /></p>
<p>This Diesel watch is naturally called the Time Zone and it has both analog and digital displays to feed your fancy, no matter what the time.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-27258" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/012710_rg_DieselTime_02.jpg" alt="012710 rg DieselTime 02" width="600" height="746" title="012710 rg DieselTime 02 photo" /></p>
<p>It has a sleek leather strap and definitely looks good, although I have to say that I&#8217;ll probably get myself a <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2008/01/04/garmin-forerunner-405-gps-watch-really-looks-like-a-watch/">GPS watch</a> instead. Still, the Diesel Time Zone watch oozes style and will work well for frequent travelers.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s available from <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3056394/0%7E2376779%7E6008000%7E6011818%7E6011934?mediumthumbnail=Y&amp;origin=category&amp;searchtype=&amp;pbo=6011934&amp;P=1">Nordstrom</a> for $295 (USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At first glance at this dramatic designer watch from Diesel, you might ask yourself where the heck the time is hiding. Then, you might take a second to think and guess that maybe you press a button for the time to show up behind the polished black faceplate &#8211; and then you&#8217;d realize <em>there are no buttons</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-12817 aligncenter" title="diesel_dz9044_watch" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/diesel_dz9044_watch.jpg" alt="diesel dz9044 watch" width="520" height="530" /></p>
<p>Stumped? Well turn your wrist sideways, and then look again.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-12819 aligncenter" title="dz9044_watch_side1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dz9044_watch_side1.jpg" alt="dz9044 watch side1" width="520" height="522" /></p>
<p>Instead of telling time on its face, the Diesel DZ9044 features a set of tiny side-mounted watches that can simultaneously tell time in four time zones. While the location of the watch faces isn&#8217;t all that practical, it&#8217;s certainly a stunning design.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-12818 aligncenter" title="dz9044_watch_side2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dz9044_watch_side2.jpg" alt="dz9044 watch side2" width="520" height="528" /></p>
<p>The watch is constructed from durable solid stainless steel with a bold black ion-plated finish and a matching black leather band, and is water resistant up to 10 ATM (about 330 feet).  And if black isn&#8217;t your thing, check out the DZ9045, which comes with a shiny stainless face and a brown leather band.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-12820 aligncenter" title="dz9045_diesel_watch" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dz9045_diesel_watch.jpg" alt="dz9045 diesel watch" width="520" height="530" /></p>
<p>Both the DZ9044 and DZ9045 are available over at <a href="http://www.watchismo.com/diesel-watches.aspx?page=3">Watchismo</a> for $365 (USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking like something that David Bowie might have worn during while wearing a skin-tight silver jumpsuit during his <em>Space Oddity / Starman</em> phase, the latest digital watch from Diesel definitely makes a bold statement (if you happen to be a 1970s glam rocker).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4473 aligncenter" title="diesel_dz7090" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/diesel_dz7090.jpg" alt="diesel dz7090" width="520" height="520" /></p>
<p>The DZ7090 not only features a futuristic dot-matrix LCD digital face, but enshrouds it in a shiny patent silver metallic band that&#8217;s sure to bring out the Major Tom in you. And if silver isn&#8217;t your thing, there&#8217;s also an even more <a href="http://store.dieseltimeframes.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=45963&amp;itemType=PRODUCT&amp;iMainCat=330&amp;iSubCat=2122&amp;iProductID=45963">gaudy gold version</a> (but that might get you kicked out of the Space Academy, you rebel, you.)</p>
<p>And speaking of Bowie in space, please relax and enjoy this musical interlude&#8230;</p>

<p>And just like the androgynous Bowie before it, the watch fits either men or women. So what are you waiting for? Get in your spaceship, blast off for the <a href="http://store.dieseltimeframes.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=44666&amp;itemType=PRODUCT&amp;iMainCat=330&amp;iSubCat=2122&amp;iProductID=44666">Diesel Time Frames</a> shop, and plunk down your $140 spacebucks (or is that Starbucks?)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was looking for a gift at Diesel and came across these sweet new (albeit behemoth) watches that have not one, not two, but FIVE faces to handle your different time zones.They&#8217;ve got a spot for LA, NY, London, Paris, and Tokyo.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3924 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/dieselwatch.jpg" alt="dieselwatch" width="520" height="511" title="dieselwatch photo" /></p>
<p>While I applaud this concept, I have two concerns which I must raise. The first concern is for those people whose travel lives are not so banally predictable as to include only these five cities. Hello, DUBAI anyone? I mean, that&#8217;s where all the serious ballers hang out now. Bangalore? Shanghai? Reykjavik, even? Luckily Diesel is offering a smaller watch of the same ilk that forgoes the pre-ordained time zones in favor of making you memorize which face corresponds to which town. (I suggest you come up with a mnemonic device.)</p>

<p>The second concern is that this watch is either ridiculously large or that the faces are ridiculously small, just because of the fact that there are so damn many of &#8216;em. But if you&#8217;re a big burly dude with 20/20 vision, it might work for you.</p>
<p>You can buy them for a mere <a href="http://store.dieseltimeframes.com/jump.jsp?itemType=PRODUCT&amp;itemID=41785">$550</a> (for the big silver one) or <a href="http://store.dieseltimeframes.com/jump.jsp?itemType=PRODUCT&amp;itemID=41784">$495</a> (for the daintier, more adventurous black one.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Check out these dramatic new watches, courtesy of the house of Diesel. When not displaying the current time, the mirrored surface of the display makes the time disappear into thin air.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2502" title="diesel_mirrored_led_watch" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/diesel_mirrored_led_watch.jpg" alt="diesel mirrored led watch" width="520" height="425" /></p>
<p>Each watch tells time using a scrolling red LED dot-matrix display which floats behind a curvy, shiny electroplated exterior. In addition to showing the time and date, you can program the display to display a custom message of up to 20 characters.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2504" title="diesel_dz7091" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/diesel_dz7091.jpg" alt="diesel dz7091" width="520" height="393" /></p>
<p>They&#8217;re available in two styles, one with a mirrored patent band [Model DZ7091], and the other with black leather strap [Model DZ7092]. You can find them both over on the <a href="http://www.dieseltimeframes.com">Diesel Time Frames</a> store for $170 USD each.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A while back, I showed you guys a pretty cool looking <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2007/09/25/diesel-watches-go-oled/">OLED watch</a> from the fashion house of Diesel. That model was especially difficult to come by, and featured a tiny little monochrome blue OLED screen . The latest digital watch from Diesel amps up the organic light emitting goodness by adding a second color to the display.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/diesel_oled_watch.jpg" alt="diesel oled watch"  title="diesel oled watch photo" /></p>
<p>The Diesel DZ7086 mens&#8217; watch features a bright dual-color screen with both blue and green OLED phosphors. In addition to displaying the time in traditional numeric formats, it can display a text version (i.e. &#8220;Eleven Twenty Seven&#8221;), along with four different on-screen animations when you press the appropriate button.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/diesel_oled_watch_2.jpg" alt="diesel oled watch 2"  title="diesel oled watch 2 photo" /></p>
<p>The modern digital watch comes housed in a black plastic case with stainless steel lugs at each side. The black wristband is nicely crafted from leather, and in case you plan on banging your new watch around a bit, the display is protected by a durable, scratch-resistant mineral crystal face.</p>
<p>List price for the DZ7086 on the <a href="http://store.dieseltimeframes.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemType=PRODUCT&amp;RS=1&amp;itemID=41752&amp;keyword=7086">Diesel website</a> is $150 USD, but you might be able to find a better deal with a little digging over on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FDiesel-Mens-Digital-watch-DZ7086%2Fdp%2FB0011RZE6Q%2F&amp;tag=technabob-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">Amazon</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=technabob-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" style="border: medium none  ! important; margin: 0px ! important" border="0" height="1" width="1" title=" photo" alt="" />.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These dramatic new watches from fashion house Diesel are a couple of only a handful of watches to embrace OLED display technology. The watches feature a bold case design that provides a welcome home for the clean, minimal OLED screen.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/diesel_dz7080.jpg" alt="diesel dz7080"  title="diesel dz7080 photo" /></p>
<p>Like old school LED watches, the time and date are concealed behind a mirrored crystal until you press a button on the side of the watch.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/diesel_oled.jpg" alt="diesel oled"  title="diesel oled photo" /></p>
<p>While I&#8217;m not sure how accurate this promotional photo is, it looks like the display is more of a cool blue-green color than the grey shown in the first images.</p>
<p>The stainless model (DZ7080) lists for $215. There&#8217;s also a leather version (DZ7079) for around $200.</p>
<p>(UPDATE 12/27/2007: I had to remove the purchase links, since the company that was linked to appears to have closed up shop. Post a comment if you manage to find these watches anywhere else).</p>
