You may be asking how a ring with a spike on it is meant for rescuing and not for hurting someone severely. The TAD Gear Titanium Rescue Ring is meant to be able to break glass should you find yourself in a situation where you are trapped behind a large sheet of glass. It also comes with a keyring in case wearing it on your finger all the time isn’t your thing. $80.
Oakley takes extreme to another extreme in developing the C Six. Made of extreme materials, the way those materials are used are nothing short of extreme in itself. While carbon fiber is usually molded into a cast, the C Six is made of a solid, 40-layer hunk of carbon fiber that’s CNC-machined to get the shape of the frame. Beta titanium is then added to the stem to provide the flexibility. Oakley is known for its lenses so the ones that they put in the C Six should also be the best that they have manufactured to date. The sheer amount of labor involved in the production of the C Six means that only 250 samples will be made. $4,000.
While Pentax may be lagging behind Canon and Nikon in terms of digital SLR sales, they’re not behind with dispensing out different color schemes for their cameras. After the release of the white then green K200D, the titanium finish becomes the latest iteration. No, the body will mostly be plastic and not made of titanium, but the shiny new paint job might be appealing for those who hate the mostly black SLRs around. The new unit comes with the macho battery grip for shooting in portrait mode and for adding another battery. Still standard is the 14.6 megapixel CMOS sensor, 2.7-inch live view LCD, onboard image stabilization, and a dust and water-proof body. Available only in Japan but thanks to Gizmine, worldwide buyers now have the chance of owning one of only 1000 titanium versions of the K20D. $1,200.

With all the goodies and gizmos contained within the case of this Casio Pathfinder, you’d be hard pressed not to get back into civilization in case you get lost somewhere. For the price, you’ll get a multitude of tools that can help you find your way. Aside from telling the time, obviously, the watch has a calendar, a moon phase diagram, a tide graph, a compass (with one recorded bearing), altimeter which records up to 20 measurements, barometer, and thermometer. That’s not even half of the features from the watch. The solar charger means that you don’t have to change the batteries – ever. A power save feature shuts of the display when the watch gets into a prolonged stay in the dark. The titanium bracelet and ruggedly tough case makes the watch water resistant up to 200 meters. Swiss watches will have a hard time keeping up with the features from this Pathfinder, and with their astronomical prices, you’d rather be lost in the woods with a Casio. $400.

The Titanium has the Intelligent Key which can unlock the doors, lift the tailgate or start the engine. It also goes with leather seats, Rear View monitor, Bluetooth connectivity, and premium Bose audio system. The more expensive Platinum has all the trimmings from the Titanium but with a few more gadgetries like a DVD entertainment system, a 9.3 GB hard drive for your tunes, and optional XM NavTraffic system. All of them, including the base model, will be powered by the 5.6-liter Endurance V8 with 317 horsepower driving the 5-speed automatic tranny. $37,200+.
