Time to take control…
Okay, just how cool is a watch with a built-in universal remote control? Well…pretty darn cool we think. Imagine the possibilities – you’ll never lose your remote again; you can go to your neighborhood sports bar and take control of those big screen TVs; when visiting a friends house you can watch what you want to watch. Put the power that comes with having the remote right on your wrist!

The Midas features comtemporary styling and a sleek design. The watch is not large or clunky. The remote control buttons are very well integrated into the overall watch design and are very easy to push. The remote can be programmed, using a 4 or 5 digits code, in approximately 30 seconds. The pre-programmed database of codes covers every make/model of TV and cable receiver imaginable.
