Gamma watch to undergo torture test

Reactor Watches claim to make the Best Built Sport Watch in the world.

I personally hadn't ever heard of Reactor, but listen to this. The company is so confident in their products that they are attaching a watch to a shipwreck under the ocean and leaving it there for three years. Yes, three years!

To leave no doubt about the company's “best built” claim, Reactor recently attached a stock Gamma watch to a shipwreck submerged in 300 feet of saltwater off the Southeast coast of Florida, where it will remain for three years, exposing the watch continually to harsh conditions.

Now if their watch withstands this test, that would be the best marketing stunt ever. I only have one question, will it be set for daylight savings time?

The watch that was submerged back in February as the Reactor Gamma.

Here's a bit about these Gamma watches:

Gamma is the latest evidence of Reactor's quest to build the best sport watch possible, starting with a massive 45.5mm dia. case for easy viewing, then adding the thickest ever application of Superluminova for extreme low-light performance. Other key features include a 10-year power supply, 300M depth rating and an anti-reflective coated crystal for easy viewing under water.

This watch runs around $350. So a bit pricey, but still, it is an amazing watch.

Watchmen's ginger comes through in the clutch

So most gingers are relegated to comical screen roles involving kid delinquency (problem child) or something involving Ron Howard. However, the new superhero movie Watchmen is blazing new ground for Gingers around the globe by displaying a ginger Superhero.

Namely a sociopath ginger hero who actually wears a mask the entire time, and is basically the kid you beat up in high school. But he does get his licks in this movie.

Meet Rorschach, pretty much my favorite movie character right now, even if he is a lunatic.

Played by Jackie Earle Haley, who from what I can gather isn't actually a ginger, Rorschach doesn't seem to have any super powers and is basically the "outcast" hero.

Perfect for a ginger!

He does really drive the plot of the movie, even if he's doing his Christian Bale from Batman voice impression the entire time. Move over Jack Bauer - there's a new sheriff in town.

(PS - go see Watchmen, but only if you have three hours to kill. This movie is one of the best to come out in a lonnnng time but it's also a loooonnngg movie.)
