Looking for High-Tech Watches?

M3wThr33 asks: "I currently own a Casio WQV-3, which is a digital camera watch with IR, but lately it's taken a turn for the worse. With the news of Fossil recently scrapping their latest PDA watch, I'd like to know what other kinds of high-tech gizmos I can slap on my wrist? I've recently been eyeing the Matsucom OnHandPC, but am beginning to think that it's outdated. I already have a Palm Zire71, so the watch would be more for the 'ooh' and 'ahh' factor, as opposed to actual usefulness."

how about timex?

[nocomment]

You want something more than the high-school dork calculator watch (I had a few of those)?

Try the Timex GPS watch.

Phhhh! That Timex GPS watch not only comes with a huge external GPS box that you have to attach elsewhere on your body, but it won't even give you the GPS coordinates of where you are! It simply uses the GPS numbers internally to calculate how far you have run/walked/biked/whatever.

No, the only real GPS watch is from the fine folks at Casio.

hacked SPOT?

The SPOT watches will have: a 28 MHz ARM7 processor, 64KB ROM, 48KB RAM, and a 12Kb/sec radio downlink.

You could just wait until someone hacks this to run their own code. It runs a scaled-down version of Microsoft's Common Language Runtime (CLR) environment.
