Best friend in the wild
Published on February 16, 2009
Outdoor adventurers will appreciate Tissot's T-Touch Expert, with 15 functions that are activated with a poke at the crown and the touch-sensitive screen.
Water-resistant to 100 meters, the watch displays absolute and relative atmospheric pressure so you can predict the weather forecast. It has an altimeter in feet and metres, a compass, two alarms, a thermometer, a perpetual calendar and two time zones and the chronograph shows split and cumulative time. With rubber strap it retails for Bt34,400, and with a titanium strap Bt38,200.
Two-tone for great colour
The small and light Pentax K-M Limited edition is a digital SLR camera - slick with a white body and black grip - that grabs 10.2-megapixel shots and previews them on a 2.7-inch monitor. The 10 "Scene modes" and Shake Reduction make it easy to use, and there's a dust-removal function too. It has very high sensitivity of ISO3200 and can capture 3.5 frames per second in continuous-shooting mode. Central Trading sells this limited edition with two DAL lenses, 18-55 and 50-200mm, for Bt33,990.
That's a print!
The Phaser 3124 is a new and affordable monochrome laser printer from Fuji Xerox. The suggested retail price is Bt3,990, but until February 12 that's down to Bt3,290, complete with your choice among five stickers to decorate it. This one's great for home use or in a small business. It can print 24 pages a second and has an ink-saving mode. It's 358x298x253mm and weighs 8.9 kilograms.
Messages in motion
The Xperia X1 mobile phone will suit executive types who e-mail on the go. Just zip aside the cover to reveal the keyboard. Running on Windows Mobile, it links to the Internet via wi-fi wireless or a 3G connection. There's built-in GPS navigation using Google Maps, shown on a three-inch display that automatically rotates. The GSM phone comes in solid black or silver for about Bt29,900.
