The Wristwatch for the James Bond Wannabe
It's a futuristic-looking watch that shows both analog and digital time.
For consumers who like to spend big bucks on gadgets and watches, STORM's Navigator may be a wish come true. But for consumers who thrive on the simpler things in life--such as flowers, bunny rabbits, or a smoking hot gaming rig--this futuristic watch may not be the thing for you. Buy hey, the Navigator displays both digital and analog time on its face, so that could be the deciding factor against a new fuzzy footstool.
Made of bold stainless steel and brass, the Navigator features four circular faces: one presenting the digital time (and date) on a crystal display, one presenting analog time, one that measures the current temperature, and one that serves as an analog compass; the latter may be handy if you're lost in the desert or out in the wilderness. A beefy metal band completes the overall package.
STORM is offering its Navigator watch with blue and silver watch faces, and retails around $209 USD (£129.99). This may be an item you'll need to order online directly from STORM, as the company is based in London, England.

That looks like $5 kiddy's watch from Walmart.
James Bond wouldn't need both analog and digital. What an idiot who designed this. Where's the gadget that saves you from plunging to your death? or laser to cut your handcuffs or metal slab to escape wrecking train? GPS??? wireless technology to your hq? picture camera? morse signal generator? radar jammer? cmon...
Oh WOW!! It shows analog AND digital time? And looks like shit too?
The miracles of modern technology simply boggle the mind.
Frigging ugly and they want $200+ for it? Wow! It's sad to think that there would be a market for something like this.
Lame. It is a know fact that Bond wears Omega Seamasters in the movie and Rolex in the novels.
$200 "big bucks" for a watch?
Mine is $150 and I don't have the kind of money to spend big bucks on a watch. It's a nice Michael Kors designer watch but Rolexs are thousands and that is what I would consider big bucks!
or one could just buy a replica of james bond's watch from china (insert which movie here, they make them all) for about 60-100 bucks.
That is just one Fugly watch!
But wait, that's not all! Order in the next 5 years and we'll throw in redundant features AND redundant features!
Toms guide epic fail here! What a piece of crap!
Wow, analog and digital time. That has only been around for years...
My father got one ten years ago when his job required him to learn and use 24 hour time. It was $20. It looked better, too. The entire face was analog with the digital behind it. Clever, right?
Oh WOW!! It shows analog AND digital time? And looks like shit too?
LOL
It looks like an alien face with nasty teeth.
Analog time, Digital time, A thermometer and a compass... nothing new or impressive here.
I really was expecting more than 20+ year old technology. The newest feature is the thermometer in a watch idea. 15 year old idea.
Thats clearly not the work of Q
We've had digital/analog half breed watches for quite some time.
Nice advertisement, Tom's Guide.
btw James Bond only has worn Rolex, Breitling, and Omega. none of this cheap looking stuff. I think his Rolex and Omega had laser built in but of course the watch on the actor's wrist did not. that technology did not exist at the time when those films were created.
one small typo:
For consumers who have yet to grow pubes, STORM's Navigator may be a wish come true.
buy an Tissot or an Hamilton, they are "multi" touch too!
LOL @ $200 for a watch being expensive. Nice watches are the one thing I do tend to spend a lot of $$ on... just my thing (besides PC hardware of course). My cheapest watches are Invicta's that started around $200. And my prize watch is a $2k Tag Hauer that barely see's the light of day. The nice thing is that they all look a TON better then that pile of crap.
where's the mini rocket launcher?
Ok its a fugly watch, but storm have made the navigator before. I remember seeing it for sale 5+ years back or more. when i seen this article... i thought WTF.... this watch came out years ago, so much for cutting edge tech! big fat FAIL Tom's!!
Yeah I think these particular watches have been around nearly ten years.
But then Tom's didnt actually mention they were new. Just pointing them out. Maybe someone in the office bought one?
It's a joke, right?
You all do know that James Bond isn't real, right?And the only reason Omega watches appear in the movies is because they dropped a huge wad of cash on the studio for product placement, just like all the Sony laptops. Product placement has spoilt the last few movies, back to basics please...
IIRC, the reason Bond wears an Omega in the movies was because the director for the 1st real Bond movie has an Omega on his wrist and Connery needs a watch for a scene.
This watch isn't too bad and anyone familiar with Storm designs will know that this kind of design is pretty standard stuff. The internals aren't very well put together though on this watch. They contain Japanese components with each module (besides compass) needing its own battery from what I remember so it costs more to maintain. Other than that, the case and bracelet construction is entirely stainless steel so if you like the look of it, and some people do, then the price is reasonable. Honestly, I quite like interesting watch designs. It's just that this one has complicated to replace innards so it's a pain in the arse to repair.
This watch has been around longer than James Bond too.
and how does this thing measure temps when strapped to a 37 C degrees persons wrist?

The problem with being a condescending queen is that there's always someone nearby to call you on it. Just, for sake of example, why would your "nice" watch "barely see the light of day?". I'm not familiar with Tag Hauer, perhaps you meant "Tag Heuer" - I assume you mean that watchmaker who uses the venerable Tiger Woods as its spokesman and makes casual sport watches. Clearly for that price it isn't gold... Vermeil perhaps? Stainless?
I know I prefer my solid 18K Cartier - which I wear exclusively - that I got in Paris when I was 20.
James Bond wears Rolex, so did Ian Fleming !
I'd like having a compass and temperature gauge on a watch, but I sure don't need to read the time twice on a single watch...
Only Super Man Can POSSESS!!
Thx for this, and hope this can continue on.
we have replica rolex
Alas, Time stays, we go.
