Ooo! So gruesome. How could they do that?!
I’m starting a new feature on weekends called Gadget Spotter. Basically, I’m going to put my obsessive TV watching to good use. Every weekend, I’ll post some screen caps of gadgets used in action on various TV shows the previous week. It’s up to you to give me the name of the show, who is using it and the make/model of the device. Some of these will be easy. Others will be hard. And others, well, they’ll be pretty lame, but just bear with me. Post your answers in the comments section. And if you spot anything during the week on TV that might worth posting, please e-mail me at wayne at crunch gear dot com.
What TV is this? Bonus points if you can tell me what game is being played on the screen.
An easy one, but what laptop is that?
Please watch this show. I don’t want it to get canceled.
Another easy one. What’s the make/model?
Farewell, we hardly knew ye.
This is actually from a movie released on DVD this week. I want to buy this watch for novelty purposes.

Actually its halo 2, not because thats ivory tower but because there is a shield indicator, but no life bar.
I dont think the stranger than fiction wach(#7) is a actual wach but possibly modeled after a real wach… anyone know?
About the watch: Heres a quote from imdb.
“The watch featured in the movie is a Timex Men’s Watch #T56371 – Ironman Triathlon 42 Lap Combo Dual Tech”
Oh yes, and its from Stranger than Fiction
palm treo 680
They’re all from “Sex Trek II: The Search for Sperm”.
So they tv shows are getting paid for product placement. You’re getting paid by your advertisers by attracting more people to your site using their product placements. Diggs gets paid by their advertisers. Now who’s left to be the sucker…
If you look closely, the image for product #7 was either digitally altered or is not the correct model. I too owned the T56371 and I agree that it was the best watch I ever had BUT in the photo the time is on the top of the watch and something else is on the bottom. On the real T56371 the date is on the top and time on the bottom. Also the digits light up green not black with a blue background. – Although, if that watch really does exist, I WANT IT.
Best,

#2 is from Heroes when Jessica was playing PS3 with her son before he went to school. In Episode Parasite.
The watch is a 56371 and thye also have a 56381 (silicone band model). I have both in stcok at www. greatwestsports. com if you’d like them.
The 56381 is a bit heavy at 13 ounces, but the silicone looks just as good (blakc face though)..
