Touchscreen Watch

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the bogging-down-your-wrist dept.

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 ;)

    And I'm sure it didn't cost $600. It's mentioned in this article:

    That's actualy a cool story that I've never read before. Thanks Anonymous Coward! Will I ever see you again? You've saved my life twice already, and I don't even know what you look like.
