    inPulse Smartwatch for BlackBerry up for pre-order, ships in February 2010

    Just as we'd heard, RIM decided to outsource the production of the planet's first BlackBerry watch, but that doesn't mean that devoted BB Messenger users won't be hankerin' for one. The inPulse Smartwatch for BlackBerry is being produced by Allerta, and now that it's official, we can safely say that it'll rely on Bluetooth in order to bring incoming emails, text messages and other alerts from your handset to your wrist (or your ankle, if you roll like that). As for specs, you're looking at a 1.3-inch OLED display, glass lens, full metal body, vibrating motor, microUSB port and a rechargeable battery that's good for around four days of "normal use." inPulse users will have to install a special BlackBerry application in order to pass along information, but those hoping to use their watch to actually send messages will be sorely disappointed. It's up for pre-order now at $149, and if all goes well, the first ones will ship out in February.

    Of all the watches that I've reviewed this week, the Raven Diablo has to be my favorite. The styling really works for me. It's not as traditional as the Atlas or the Millenia, but it's also not as far out there as the Centurion. I like the silver accent points, and the carbon fiber layer really makes it work for me. Like the other watches from Stuhrling, this one is made from surgical steel, and a real sense of quality about it.

    The Stuhrling Millenia XT uses the same movement at the Centurion, but that's where the similarities end. Where the Centurion was blocky, square and sharp edged, the Millenia has a very graceful curve, an almost elegant feel to it. Obviously based off of the classic "tank" style timepieces of the 1920's, the Millenia brings that concept up to date in a big way.

    The Atlas is a completely different style from the Centurion. Where the Centurion is big and bulky, the Atlas is more subtle, and has several more mainstream design elements. It's finish is a rose gold tone, however the case is still surgical steel, and the band is still a thick, flexible, durable rubber. Again, the build quality is quite good, and not necessarily what you'd expect from a timepiece at this price point.

    When Stuhrling first contacted us to do a review, they sent a Centurion. When it arrived, I'll admit, the design threw me off for a bit. The unique font, the extremely sharp and square case - this didn't reflect the type of watch I typically wear. To be fair, I didn't care for it all that much. I was determined to give the watch a fair chance however, and wore it on a daily basis for a while, just to collect some opinions.
