The garage band, the basement beatmaker, the up-and-coming rapper and the punk tour opener all share one thing– an attitude and lifestyle that crosses over from music into style. It is the goal of the watch designers at Vestal to capture this and forge it into their watches. “Vestal Watches fine tune style and expression for the musically inspired individual,” goes the mission statement. Musician or not, most can recognize the broad appeal of these Vestal watches. We did, and we were as excited as a kid in a record store when Vestal agreed to a GearCrave giveaway…
This week, GearCrave will be giving away five free Vestal watches to randomly selected readers. Continue reading after the break to learn how you can win one of your very own… Also, we’ll be sharing our five favorite Vestal watches this week, one per day from now until Friday. Stick around, GearCravers, this is going to be fun!

Update– Congrats to GearCrave readers CJ, Aaron and Allison, you’ve won a free copy of City of Men. You’ll be emailed shortly!
Fernando Meirelles’s film City of God is an all-time favorite of ours. If you haven’t seen it, you owe it to yourself to bump it to the top of your Netflix queue, buy the DVD or (gasp!) drive to your local video rental store. On the international success of City of God comes City of Men, a film that takes us back to the wrong side of paradise for a new and different story. City of Men tells the story of two close friends now divided by a dark secret– and forced on either side of a gang war in the slums of Rio De Janeiro. Fans of City of God won’t find a sequel in City of Men, but a new tale all its own rife with the familiar struggles with violence and perseverance. Continue reading, GearCravers, to learn how you can win one of three copies of City of Men on DVD from GearCrave and Miramax. [trailer]

Update – Evernote has completed its private Beta and has opened up its software to public use for the first time. You no longer need an invite to sign up for Evernote, you can join today– invite or not. Visit Evernote.com to sign up!
Would you believe us if we told you there was a way to never forget a picture, a business contact, a web page or even a hand written note? Our friends at Evernote are making this a real possibility. Evernote provides its users with a way to capture, save and index a piece of information in almost any environment. Using the web, your mobile phone or even a digital camera, Evernote users can capture a piece of data and store it forever in their personal Evernote account.
The phrase “piece of data” sounds a little ugly, so we’ll romanticize this just a bit. That brainy beauty from the bar who passed you her number on a cocktail napkin? Snap a picture of it with your cell phone, Evernote will store it, automatically recognize her name and number and index them in your account. The next morning you can search her by name and Evernote will pull up the photo. We recommend waiting at least two days to call though ;)
Continue reading to learn more about this amazing new application, even try it yourself– Evernote is giving away 100 free Beta invites to GearCrave readers. Leave a comment we will send one your way! EDIT: Several people have left comments without using an email address in the contact information, we cannot send you an invite without an email address…:)

What started over 20 years ago is reaching its first resurgence: the classic Freestyle Shark watch is once again a hot ticket item. Our friends at FreeStyle USA reached out to GearCrave to get involved in a giveaway. As fans of the classic Shark watch, we happily obliged. Continue reading, GearCravers, to learn about the new 80s Shark watch and the full line of FreeStyle watches available to GearCrave readers.
