Las Vegas, January 10, 2013 – Martian Watches, a California-based developer of unique personal wireless communication products, today announced that it has been selected by the editors at CNET as a finalist in this year’s Best of CES Awards for its Martian Passport Watch, a voice-controlled Bluetooth watch that users can use to make and receive calls, listen and respond to text messages and access information from their wrist.

The Best of CES Awards, THE OFFICIAL AWARDS OF CES, are produced and judged by CNET and recognize the hottest products at the 2013 CES, including a Best of Show and People’s Voice award selected by the CNET online audience. The awards recognize the most innovative products that set the standard for all other products in the industry. Leading up to and throughout the show, CNET editors will be blogging about pre-show, buzz-worthy products in a variety of tech categories, including mobile apps, televisions, tablets, and cell phones and smartphones.

The Martian Passport watch was chosen for its impressive technology advancement as a wearable technology device. The rectangular-faced Passport watch is an elegant, upscale executive watch. It is styled for men and women who appreciate traditional styling with a black or white face. The white face models are available with a white or black leather band, and the men’s black face model comes with a custom-molded black silicone band. This watch appeals to busy executives, high-tech enthusiasts and ardent mobile phone users for whom elegant, classic watch styling is important. The MSRP is $299 USD.

“We are thrilled and honored to be chosen as a finalist for the CNET CES Best of Show,” said Jeffrey Hsieh, CEO of Martian Watches. “The convenience and safety of wearing a watch that acts as a hands-free gateway to the world and marries technology and fashion helped us become a finalist with this elite group of companies nominated for this award.”
