Stewart Golf’s X1R Remote Caddie

Stewart Golf's X1R Remote Caddie

*Drool* This makes me want to go out and buy some funny golf pants, a set of clubs and an expensive country club membership. The X1R remote-controlled caddie from Stewart Golf is a nice piece of gadgetry that saves you from lugging your own clubs or from tipping some smart-alec human caddie. 😉 This is another one of those “why didn’t I think of this” type of products. The X1R moves along at 6mph, and its battery will get you around an 18-hole course, and most importantly, it has a cup holder. The X1R is quite a large captial outlay ($1,995), but could save you a lot in caddie fees over the years. A little more dough will get you customized graphics or even a customized body design. Stewart Golf is even currently offering a free 30-day trial.

Review: aXbo Sleep Phase Alarm Clock – wakes you at the optimal point in your sleep cycle

axbo sleep phaseFollowing up on the heels of the SleepTracker is a sleek, gorgeously designed alarm clock from European company, aXbo, that uses an accompanying wristband to track your body’s movements throughout your sleep.

Based on those movements, it can determine where you are in your sleep cycle. Research has shown that there is an optimum point in your sleep cycle to awaken to feel refreshed.

Set your aXbo Sleep Phase Alarm Clock for the latest time that you wish to awake. It will start looking for your optimal waking point 30 minutes prior to that and will sound an alarm, which include some more gentle nature sounds.

Having tried the aXbo, there is no question that it finds a better point in time to awaken. Is it extremely accurate? That’s hard to tell based only on how refreshed you feel, because how well you sleep and how energetic you feel depends on many factors outside of just your ideal wake time.

The aXbo has a unique, yet easy to use interface and the buttons have an ideal feel to them. It’s easy to get lost in the semi-transparent display as well. aXbo recharges via USB or the included adapter.

Waterproof Floating Remote Control

Waterproof Floating Remote Control

I’m in Florida this week and it’s hot as (@&#$, so I’ll be spending some time in the pool. Of course, if I’m relaxing in the pool, I might like to have some tunes on in the background. But I definitely don’t want to get out of the pool to go change songs on the radio or my stereo, and since I don’t have a butler, this waterproof remote control is exactly what I need. The remote works from up to 100ft away and control up to 6 of your home theater components. The Dolphin Remote can also control your spa’s functions as well, functions like jets, lights and pumps. This remote is only 8oz, runs on 2 AA batteries and the best part? It floats!

Outdoor Misting Fan with Cover

Outdoor Misting Fan with Cover

It’s so hot I actually burned my hand opening the car door and branded the back of my legs on the leather car seat! The temperature has reached “intolerable” in the southeast and we are looking for ways to cool down.

The Geeks discovered a product that combines two ways of cooling down in one cool product. An oscillating fan that sprays a mist! Simply connect the fan to a standard garden hose and the fan should cool an area of 950 square feet up to 25 degrees!

Yes, I feel if I say the word “cool” enough, I might actually feel cool.

Remote Motorized Umbrella Controller

The Geeks are getting lazy! We got caught up watching Trinidad and Tobago block everything Sweden kicked at them in the World Cup and forgot to add a Gizmo of the Day earlier today!

Therefore, we thought it made sense to add a gizmo that aids in laziness. Featuring the ultimate in laziness, you can now open and close your outdoor umbrella using a remote.

Well, enough work for today.

SkyCaddie GPS Rangefinder for Golfers

SkyCaddie GPS Rangefinder for Golfers

It has been a while since we last featured a golf-related gadget and since Father’s Day is around the corner, it seemed like a perfect time. Introducing the SkyCaddie – a portable GPS rangefinder. It ‘knows’ how far away from your target (the green, etc.) you are. There are thousands of golf courses out there that are already designated SkyCourses; their entire data is already available for downloading into your SkyCaddie. If the course you’re playing isn’t a SkyCourse, you can set up the data yourself. SkyCaddie isn’t cheap, and you would also need to pay to access the SkyCourses data on skygolf.com, but hey, what’s your golf game worth, eh? 😉
