Have a look at the LAKS collection of watches:
https://www.laks.com/

Not only do they offer nice looking things, there is also a wide range of USB-Memory enhanced or MP3 playing pieces available.

I have one of the USB watches made by LAKS. Had it for years. It's not more annoying to take off and plug in than anything on a belt or chain. In practice it's much better, since you don't tend to forget it as easily, and you never lose it (unless you're one of those weird people who loses their watch all the time).

This article is beyond silly. This product is neither inventive nor useful in my opinion. If I had a USB armband, I would leave it at home (and during the day suddenly swear at myself for having left it at home), since the motivation to carry my USB watch is not that it's USB, but that it's a watch.

And you can get 1GB Laks USB Flashdrive/Mp3 Player/Voicerecorders... I have one and it works great! https://www.laks.com/page.php?lang=en&laks_s=off&n ame=future&land=United%20States%20%20US%20-%20Engl ish&art_id=97

My watch has a capacity of 128MB, it's made by LAKS and was covered by Slashdot here http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/ 21/0046230&tid=159&tid=137

I've had it for two years without fault.

I've had a USB watch for a while now. It's inconspicuous enough that no one has noticed it's anything but a normal watch without me pointing it out to them, and extremely difficult to lose (unless you make a habit of losing your watch). That's the way I think technology should be: invisible, functional and highly usable.

if it connects to the Phantom? Besides, if you want small-but-cool, you're better off with an MP3-playing wristwatch. Their english ain't so hot, but their products are.

You can see very clearly in this shot. Actually the little loop that excess watchband slides under(it says USB on it in the pic)is a hard plastic that clicks back and forth. Slide it towards the buckle the cable end pops out, put the plug back into the molded slot in the band and click it back away from the buckle and the plug and cable are locked into the band. I love it, its one of the coolest/geekiest/convinient/most useful things i own. It's a tad pricy, i've never owned a watch that cost more than $20, but if you subtract the price of a comparable sized USB drive your still getting a very nice/stylish watch for about $50. More info can be found at the companys website.
