Touchscreen Watch

SkywalkerOS8 writes "Saw this article on MSNBC about a touchscreen watch(Think touchlamp, not PDA). Instead of pressing a button on the side(that usually stabs your fingertip) you tap a location of the crystal's face. Its called the T-Touch, made by Tissot. It retails for $595, has standard features like time, date, alarm and chronograph, and extra features like thermometer, barometer,altimeter and compass. The author of the review points out that the compass is cool because the three hands of the watch form an arrow that points North and updates continuously. Sounds cool and relatively inexpensive considering all of its features. I also found a page by a T-Touch owner." I've always stayed away from watches but there's something about the smooth mechanics of a good watch that amazes me. And last week I got lost, and had to aim a satellite dish, so that compass would come in handy... but so would $600 ;)

You can find North with any watch. Even the $1 watch from a cornflakes packet.

Try it now

You don't get it

If they ran a story on those pants w/extra pockets for PDA's etc. you'd have a link to a site for fanny packs and pocket protectors.

That little POS from Casio doesn't come close to the incredible cool of a swiss time piece. Not to mention, quality, durability and the fact that it will look nice. (You know for that crowd that wears something other than a t-shirt and jeans to work or out)

Lost?

I've seldom gotten found by using a compass. I can spend a lot less money on a watch that also has a GPS and will tell me where I am.
Casio GPS Watch (PAT-2GP) can be found for $394.00. http://www.shoplite.com/pat-1gp.htm That watch even has something important, auto time correction. I use a watch to know the time. Non-GPS autoset watches can be found for less than $100.00.
