Congratulations to Brian C. of Jaffrey, N.H., for winning a pair of A-Audio Icon wireless headphones in last week's giveaway. Like the idea of getting subtle phone alerts sent to your wrist? Look no further.

This week we're giving away a Martian Notifier, which melds classic analog style with smartphone savvy by delivering customizable notifications for just about any iOS or Android app to your arm via vibration. You can even have the watch buzz distinctively, almost Morse code-style, for each type of message.

CNET reviewer Brian Bennett calls the watch "a whiz at smartphone alerts," and says that if you're looking for a smartwatch that doesn't bust the budget, it's hard to beat this one.

Of course, you don't have to worry about budget since you'll be getting the $129.99 Martian Notifier for free. How do you go about doing that? There are a few rules, so please read carefully.
