Watches for UberGeeks? · Slashdot Mirror

eyefish asks: "My trusty old watch recently gave up on me, and now I want to buy a new one. This time though I want something a bit more functional that my simple analog-digital watch. If you were to buy a new watch, and you are the geek type, which one would you buy? I'm interested in anything from watches with built-in GPS to built-in video or MP3 players and calculators. Or simply anything that looks really cool, or is really light, or syncs with my palm pilot. You get the drift." A watch that could sync via GPS? Never have the wrong time again! But seriously, what nifty new technologies have had the shrinking ray applied to them so that they fit nice and comfy on the wrist?

Only one choice: the HP-01 by shoppa · 2002-02-18 02:42 · Score: 5, Interesting

There's only one choice IMHO: The HP-01. It is, without a doubt, the ultimate geek watch, and has been for the past quarter- century.
See this picture and this list of features.
