What is hot?

Citizen Men's BN0000-04H Eco-Drive Professional Diver Black Rubber ...

First of all a little background on me… …I like watches but I don’t love watches, I don’t consider myself a “Watch Geek”. I want my watch first and foremost to tell time. Townsend Whelen once said, “Only accurate rifles are interesting.” I think the same goes for watches. The watch that this one is replacing is a Seiko automatic, the self winding feature is cool and the sweeping second hand is great but the watch gained approximately 30- 45 seconds a day, it seemed like it was always 5 minutes fast. This is what led up to me deciding on getting a quartz watch.

About 8 years ago I bought a Citizen Eco-Drive watch for my wife. I had never thought of Citizen as being a high quality product but she liked it so that’s what we got. That watch has run for 8 years without a hitch, it seems to keep time well and the Eco-Drive has been flawless, you don’t have to think about it at all. So an Eco-Drive Citizen seemed like the way to go, no batteries to replace, and quartz movement.

Iterations: How Six Technology Investors Size Up The Google Glass Opportunity

People won’t stop talking about Google Glass, and rightfully so. Ever since the epic parachute-hangout demo , the Valley has been buzzing about the future coming of what is arguably one of the biggest potential advancements in computer interfaces since the iPhone. Lately, the buzz has been bubbling as Google employees, early adopters (Scoble just posted his detailed review), tech bloggers, and contest winners have started to receive their glasses, combined with heavy, consumer-focused advertising, a dedicated fund pairing Google’s own venture arm with two of Sand Hill’s most storied venture capital firms. It’s gotten so much ink that new monikers have emerged, such as “ Glasshole ,” and the phenomenon was hilariously lambasted in the latest installment of “ Jesus Christ, Silicon Valley ,” a Tumblr devoted to over-the-top yet oftentimes valid tech-focused satire.

There’s so much to investigate with respect to Glass, so in this week’s “Iterations” column, I’m just going to focus on the early-stage investment side. There’s no shortage of opinions here. My two cents is while Google is investing lots of dollars into a consumer-focused campaign, Glass will not initially be a device that the majority people will want, need, or be able to afford (unlike a cell phone), even when the price comes down. It will also be a very different type of interface. That said, it’s no matter, because the commercial applications for Glass are boundless: Imagine a bunch of kids on a school trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, able to press on Glass and learn more about the sea life they see in the tanks. Well, I don’t even know if that’s possible on a watery service, but regardless…instead, I emailed a handful of experienced technology investors I know well to briefly weigh on how they think of Glass as an interface to invest in and around. Below is a collection of the answers I received, edited briefly:
