High-tech gifts are becoming more popular as pivotal benchmarks are surpassed. This is especially true and expected by today's savvy gift recipients, who partially attribute advanced technology for their eminence.
From newly designed watches that keep perfect time to slim and chic digital cameras that boast the highest megapixels, gift givers have a variety of options when searching for the perfect gift. So which one is right for the person on your list? Here's a closer look:
It's A Snap
A digital camera makes a picture-perfect gift. Casio Exilim's EX-Z1000 is an ultraslim, high- resolution, 10.1-megapixel digital camera with a wide format and superbright LCD display. Its images rival those of the bulkier single-lens reflex cameras but it is much more portable.
It's also equipped with an eBay Best Shot mode that automatically captures photos sized for posting items on eBay or anywhere on the Web. It can also be used when e-mailing photos--so no more worries about minimizing photo file size!
Time To Get Tough
The rugged outdoor type in your life may appreciate a watch that matches his lifestyle. For instance, Pathfinder's multiband Atomic-Solar watch (PAW 1200) has a tough, military-inspired design. It features a digital compass, barometer with temperature display, altimeter and thermometer. It receives multiple atomic signals to keep the most perfect time in the U.S., Japan, Germany and the U.K.
Time For Her
Women on your gift-giving list may be impressed with the newly launched ladies Oceanus chronograph line. The solar-powered atomic Oceanus 10DA-4AV timepiece features subdued metallic accents and pearly-pink iridescent dial. It is the classic, iconic fashion statement of grace and style.
It's About Time
Men who enjoy function and style will gravitate to this men's Oceanus OCW600TDBA-1AV. Oceanus timepieces even make great sentimental "his and her" gifts. The atomic-solar chronograph features a lightweight titanium case and bracelet, a black, ion-plated bezel, tachymeter and, of course, high-end luxury style.
