The Casio EDIFICE EQB-600D is available in Blue and Black, depending on the colour of the 3D Globe Dial. Above is the blue version (EQB-600D-1A2).
The EQB-600D is the latest addition to the EDIFICE series of high-performance timepieces.

The motif is realised using advanced molding techniques at Yamagata Casio, the production base of Casio in Japan.
The watch is further refined with a polarised deposition, making the color change at different viewing angles.
As part of the Global Time Sync collection, EDIFICE watches are able to link with a smartphone to adjust and set the time corresponding with 300 cities globally to enable an advanced timekeeping system that delivers time accurately, anywhere in the world.
The 3D Globe Dial works in conjunction with the world time shown on the inset dial at the 8 o’clock position, and it gradually rotates once every 24 hours just like Earth.

Oracle ERP Cloud streamlines RedMart’s business processes, reduces IT costs, and improves business agility.
“Large, mid-sized, and start-up companies are turning to Oracle for cloud-based solutions to better manage their resources to improve the efficiency of their operations. We are happy that Redmart has chosen Oracle ERP Cloud. It clearly outlines Redmart’s vision to modernize their finance and procurement processes to propel the company to the next level of growth,” said Neeraj Shaabi, Regional Managing Director for ASEAN and Sage, Oracle.
RedMart, one of Singapore’s largest online supermarkets, has chosen Oracle Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Cloud to fuel the company’s growth.
“We are glad to have achieved the success we have today, but we are still growing and constantly exploring how to further improve our internal operations. Being a startup, business priorities tend to change quickly to respond to the competitive needs of the market. Our systems need to be flexible to match up with our priorities. Technology is at the heart of our business, and we need to constantly strengthen it in order to grow, and we’re glad that Oracle is along that journey with us,” said Jim Boland, Head of Finance, RedMart.
Oracle Enterprise Resource Planning Cloud will serve as a key business platform for RedMart’s growth.
RedMart is a successful start-up in Singapore that serves as an e-commerce platform which allows customers to buy groceries and household products, including fresh and frozen food, personal care, health and wellness, baby, and beverage, and pet products online.
Since its launch in 2011, RedMart has grown 10-20% month-over-month and more than doubled each year.
Previously, the legacy ERP system could not scale to the high transaction volume in line with the company’s growth, did not have the capability to produce useful reports, and was not flexible enough for the company’s fast changing business priorities.
RedMart needed to improve system performance and flexibility to enable further expansion of the business.

Customers who sign up for or renew their StarHub 4G plans, can enjoy the new 3GB data upsize at promotional monthly rate of only $3. Usual monthly rate of $6 will apply for customers who sign up from 1 April.

StarHub joins the data price war between the telcos. Click to enlarge.
The table above is a summary of the various StarHub’s plan and how they can be enhanced by the 3GB-for-$3 promotion.
StarHub is giving IT Show 2016 a miss
Unlike M1, MyRepublic and Singtel, StarHub is not participating in IT Show 2016.
It is instead having a parallel online promotion from 10 – 18 March at www.starhub.com/big-sale.
Consumers can look for deals such as S$200 phone discounts with free delivery and free six-month subscription to multi-service HomeHub Go and selected broadband plans.
Customers who prefer physical stores, can visit any of StarHub’s 48 retail outlets across the island.
With the new offer, subscribers of StarHub’s “4G 3” plan can enjoy 6GB data bundle at a slightly increased monthly subscription rate of S$45.90.
Previously, a “4G 6” subscription plan would have set consumers back S$102.90 every month, although the plan does offer more local talktime and SMS.
StarHub will reach out to customers who signed up for one of these StarHub 4G plans on 10 March and offer them this data upsize option.
From tomorrow, customers can sign up for this offer at any of the 48 StarHub retail outlets across the island.
The promotional flyers for StarHub’s online sale are attached below.

The payment service from Samsung set to expand globally in 2016 to new countries and partners.
In 2016, Samsung Pay will be expanding to new countries and major payment networks such as American Express.
In 2016, Samsung Pay will start global expansion beginning with China in March, followed by Australia, Brazil, Singapore, Spain and the U.K. later in the year.
“Since its introduction last year, Samsung Pay has changed the way people pay and use their smartphones. We’ve already seen significant consumer adoption and we continue to see great momentum. Our aim is to expand Samsung Pay to even more locations around the world, and our customers should expect to see more features in the year to come,” said InJong Rhee, EVP and Head of R&D, Software and Services of Mobile Communications Business at Samsung Electronics.
Canada will be added to the new launch roadmap.
According to Samsung Electronics, Samsung Pay now has about five million registered users over 500 million dollars processed in the first six months, showing a strong adoption rate in South Korea and the U.S since the launch of the payment service in these two countries in August and September 2015 respectively.
Samsung Pay is currently available on select Galaxy devices including S6, S6 edge, S6 edge+, Note5 as well as premium and mid-range options such as the 2016 models of both Galaxy A5 and A7.
Samsung Pay will also expand its enhanced services to more than just credit or debit cards, adding transit passes, coupons and membership cards to its available payment modes.
Samsung Pay is now available on Google Play as a free download for compatible devices.
The 2016 versions of the A5 and A7 smartphones will be compatible with Samsung Pay. Seen here at the launch of the A3, A5 and A7 in Singapore.
Extensive Partnership Ecosystem
Samsung Pay started its service in South Korea and the U.S. last year, and now supports eligible credit and debit cards from more than 70 major and regional banks.
