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 ;)

    Janet:
    I thought there's no use getting
    Into heavy petting
    It only leads to trouble
    And seat wetting.
    Now all I want to know is how to go.
    I've tasted blood and I want more. (More, more, more.)
    I'll put up no resistance. I want toasty the distance
    I've got an itch to scratch. I need assistance.
    Toucha toucha toucha touch me
    I want to be dirty
    Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me
    Creature of the night.
    Then if anything grows, while you pose,
    I'll oil you up and rub you down. (Down, down, down.)
    And that's just one small fraction of the main attraction
    You need a friendly hand and I need action.
    Toucha toucha toucha touch me
    I want to be dirty
    Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me
    Creature of the night.

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