GeoTechnologies' Move-to-earn app rapidly gained popularity in Japan has surpassed 23 million downloads worldwide
Expanding the Japanese move-to-earn app to the world
'TRIMA', which has twenty-two million downloads in Japan, has established a solid position as the de-facto standard for move-to-earn apps. TRIMA users can earn points based on their movement and those data are analyzed by 29 universities in Japan. They are seeking how to improve the safety, efficiency, and productivity of citizens in Japan. TRIMA is the first to introduce the concept of move-to-earn apps to Japan. Based on this success, we launched 'GeoSmile' worldwide as a global version of 'TRIMA' in 2023.
Contributing to society through collaboration with academic institutions
'TRIMA' people flow data is used in research in various fields such as disaster prevention, crime prevention, urban development, and tourism, with the aim to establish a more livable environment in Japan that considers regional characteristics.
Growth in the US market
GeoSmile, which debuted in the US market about two years ago, has also continued to grow steadily and is expected to reach one million downloads soon. To celebrate this milestone, we will run a special campaign.
Yoichiro Yatsurugi, President and CEO of GeoTechnologies, Inc., says, 'TRIMA introduced the concept of 'move-to-earn' to Japan. Now, it is contributing to making Japan a more livable place through people flow analysis beyond the concept of simply earning points. This approach was also launched in the United States about two years ago, and we are reaching one million downloads. This is an important step in expanding the circle of social contribution in Japan to the United States, and we are very excited for further growth in the future'.
Yas Watanabe, Chief Executive of LAJET Business Consulting LLC, comments, 'I have been studying the success of GeoTechnologies' TRIMA in Japan. TRIMA has become a tool to improve users' daily lives beyond the concept of simply earning points. When the GeoSmile business in the United States continues to develop, I am confident that TRIMA's knowledge will be utilized to help improve lifestyles in the United States. The achievement of one million downloads in the United States is an important step'.

Made Of Meteorite, Inspired By Samurai Armour: Two Dope New Drops From Breitling & G-SHOCK
To advance humanity into the future, we must first look back to the past. These two watches, in design and function, beautifully symbolise this philosophy. One timepiece honours the way of the ancient samurai, the other looks up towards the stars and space travel. Both deserve a place on your wrist. G-SHOCK Kurogane-Iro Collection G-SHOCK has introduced two new models, the MRGB2000BG-3A and MRGB2000RG-3A, to broaden its premium MR-G lineup. Kurogane-iro, a deep blue-green colour reminiscent of heated iron used in samurai armour, serves as the inspiration for these timepieces, which follow the 'Juryoku-Maru: San' limited edition. Green diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating and a deep-layer hardening process are used to give titanium components this striking colour, creating a finish that is both sophisticated and bold. Both models, which are meticulously crafted and have their roots in Japanese tradition, have dials framed by fan-like contours and indexes that are reminiscent of swords and were created using Casio's nano-processing technology. A recrystallised titanium bezel that mimics the crystalline patterns of Japanese sword blades makes the MRGB2000RG-3A stand out. Sallaz polishing, sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, and gold ion-plated accents enhance the watches' opulent appearance while guaranteeing their longevity and clarity. Advanced features like Bluetooth® smartphone connectivity, radio-controlled timekeeping, solar-powered movement, and water resistance up to 200 metres combine functionality and artistic expression. The MR-G module's gold-plated retainer plate improves electrical performance, highlighting the brand's dedication to precise engineering. While the MRGB2000RG-3A chooses a flexible fluoro-rubber strap embossed with a tortoiseshell pattern signifying strength and protection, the MRGB2000BG-3A has a full titanium band treated with the same DLC coating. The two G-SHOCK Kurogane-Iro timepieces both retail for US$3,300 (~RM13,983) and can be purchased through Casio's official website. Breitling x Haaland Meteorite Chronomat Collection In a new partnership with Manchester City forward Erling Haaland, Breitling has unveiled two limited-edition Chronomat timepieces that combine athletic precision with cosmic materials. There are two primary limited-edition models in the collection. There are only 500 of the Chronomat Automatic GMT 40, which comes in stainless steel with a platinum bezel. However, the Chronomat B01 42, which is limited to 250 pieces, amplifies the luxury appeal with an 18k red gold case. The dials on both models are made of Muonionalusta meteorite, an astral substance that formed more than 4.5 billion years ago. Because each dial has a different pattern, no two watches are alike. From choosing the Chronomat as the base model to selecting the metals for the cosmic dial and case, Haaland was heavily involved in the design process. A red-gold GMT hand and Haaland's initials on the central seconds hand highlight the meteorite dial of the Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 Erling Haaland, which is housed in a platinum-bezel stainless-steel case. 'ONE OF 500' and 'ERLING HAALAND 9' are engraved on the caseback, encircling a silhouette of Haaland in his trademark goal-celebration pose. This model gives you the option of a black rubber strap in the rouleaux style or a traditional steel rouleaux bracelet. The Chronomat B01 42 Erling Haaland's meteorite dial, black chronograph subdials, and 18k red gold case enhance the design. A sapphire-crystal caseback engraved with 'ONE OF 250' and Haaland's number 9 reveals the Breitling Manufacture Calibre 01, which has a 70-hour power reserve. It is available on an 18k red-gold rouleaux or black rubber, and it also features Haaland's initials on the central chronograph seconds hand. The collection, which is a very personal endeavour for the athlete, is completed by a third, incredibly rare 'ONE OF 5' edition made exclusively for Haaland and his closest friends and family. This edition has a meteorite dial, an 18k red gold case, and a transparent caseback that shows off the Breitling Manufacture Calibre 01 movement inside. On the caseback is a picture of Haaland in his goal-celebration pose, and his name and jersey number are custom-engraved on the case side. Each model is presented in a wooden box with a signed note of gratitude from Haaland, highlighting the intimate nature of the partnership. Each piece is an exclusive item. Hence, prices start at RM45,900 and go as high as RM221,900. If you'd like to know more about Breitling's new limited-edition collaboration with Erling Haaland, visit the brand's official website.

US bank employee barred from leaving China in criminal case
BEIJING: China has confirmed an exit ban on a US bank employee involved in an ongoing criminal investigation. Wells Fargo managing director Chenyue Mao, a Shanghai-born executive based in Atlanta, is restricted from leaving the country while authorities probe the case. Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun stated Mao is 'involved in a criminal case currently being investigated by the Chinese authorities.' He added, 'The Chinese law enforcement agencies have imposed exit restrictions in accordance with the law.' No further details about the alleged offences were disclosed. Wells Fargo acknowledged the situation, saying it is 'closely tracking this situation and working through the appropriate channels so our employee can return to the United States as soon as possible.' Reports indicate the bank has now restricted employee travel to China following the incident. Guo emphasised that Mao 'cannot leave the country while the case is ongoing, and has an obligation to cooperate with the work of investigators.' He called it an 'individual case' and reiterated China's openness to foreign business, stating, 'No matter whether you are Chinese or not, you must follow Chinese laws while in China.' The case adds to growing concerns among multinational firms about China's business climate. Industry groups cite unclear data laws and prolonged detentions as key challenges. Tensions between Beijing and Western nations, particularly the US, have intensified in recent years. Separately, The Washington Post reported a US Commerce Department employee was also barred from leaving China after failing to disclose his government role on a visa application. The Chinese American man, from the Patent and Trademark Office, had visited family months earlier. Guo said he was unaware of the case. Recent incidents include a Japanese Astellas Pharma executive sentenced for espionage and AstraZeneca's China head detained over alleged illegal data practices. In 2023, a Kroll executive faced similar travel restrictions, highlighting risks for foreign professionals in China. - AFP

Ringgit extends gains to close higher amid Japan political uncertainty
KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit extended its gains against the US dollar at Monday's close, as the greenback struggled to appreciate amid political uncertainties in Japan, said an analyst. At 6 pm, the ringgit rose to 4.2320/2365 against the greenback, compared to Friday's close of 4.2410/2455. SPI Asset Management managing partner Stephen Innes said the ringgit trended higher, supported by the election setback for Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's coalition, which did not trigger broader market volatility. "The absence of contagion allowed Asian and other emerging market currencies, including the ringgit, to edge higher and strengthen modestly,' he told Bernama. Echoing Innes, Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said the ringgit traded firmer in tandem with a 0.13 per cent decline in the US Dollar Index to 98.268 points, as major currencies such as the euro, yen, and the British pound all appreciated against the greenback. "Despite uncertainties surrounding Japanese politics, the US dollar is struggling to appreciate, yet this has not resulted in a weak Japanese yen,' he said. On that note, Mohd Afzanizam said the ringgit was generally firmer against the US dollar, with the pair hovering around RM4.2375 in the afternoon, compared to RM4.2493 during the morning session. At the close, the ringgit was traded mostly higher against a basket of major currencies. It strengthened against the British pound to 5.6954/7015 from 5.6999/7060 and advanced versus the euro to 4.9277/9330 from 4.9336/9388 at Friday's close. However, it fell against the Japanese yen to 2.8612/8644 from 2.8517/8549. Meanwhile, the local note rose vis-à-vis the Singapore dollar to 3.2990/3028 from 3.3027/3065, and gained against the Thai baht to 13.0754/0954 from 13.3027/3065. Additionally, the ringgit appreciated against the Indonesian rupiah to 259.2/259.6 from 260.2/260.6 and edged up versus the Philippine peso to 7.40/7.41 from 7.41/7.43 previously. - Bernama
