analog face wouldn't cause much of a stir. However, when that watch is described as "atomic" and is claimed to be "the world's most accurate wristwatch," people perk up and take notice. Kauai-based Bathys Hawaii Watch Company has just revealed its first prototype of such a watch, known as the Cesium 133.  <a href="/web/20131009230038/http://www.gizmag.com/bathys-hawaii-cesium-133-atomic-watch/29291/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="29288"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="article_label" href="/web/20131009230038/http://www.gizmag.com/reviews/">REVIEW</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20131009230038/http://www.gizmag.com/samsung-galaxy-gear-review/29288/">Review: Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20131009230038/http://www.gizmag.com/author/will-shanklin/">Will Shanklin</a></div> <div class="date">October 4, 2013</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20131009230038/http://www.gizmag.com/samsung-galaxy-gear-review/29288/#comments">11 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20131009230038/http://www.gizmag.com/samsung-galaxy-gear-review/29288/pictures">41 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20131009230038/http://www.gizmag.com/samsung-galaxy-gear-review/29288/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20131009230038im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/galaxy-gear-review.jpg" title="Gizmag reviews the Galaxy Gear, Samsung's bold new take on the smartwatch" alt="Gizmag reviews the Galaxy Gear, Samsung's bold new take on the smartwatch"/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> When a new tech product launches, reviewers usually come to some sort of consensus.
