Return of the TV Wristwatch

An anonymous reader writes "20 years after the Seiko TV watch, another Asian firm has given it another go. The Globe and Mail in Canada got their hands on the NHJ TV Watch and have posted a review. The writer thinks it's still just way too huge to be a watch but is still impressed."

    If I saw someone wearing that thing, I couldn't help but say:
    • Go Go Power Rangers

    It looks just like their wristband gadgets

    The writer of the review is quite the humorist. For instance:

    Sacrificing my public image in the name of science, I wore it as a watch for about an hour at the local mall. If you're into female repellant, wearing it this way will give you better results than a wet spot on the front of your pants.

    In light of this, I propose that slashdot's motto be changed to: News for Nerds. Stuff That Repels Females.

    Hmmm ... maybe not. Don't see it catching on, somehow.

    WHY?

    So you can have a convenient WebTV based interface with which to interact with your toaster remotely from the mall, silly.

    And with the cable constantly following you, you could always know how to get back home... now, it's a little riskier to go outside with no string leading you home... maybe you should invest in a wristwatch GPS too? ;-)

    'TV on a watch is a waste of time.'

    I don't need a TV; I have a front loading washing machine;^) Now, if they could get that on my wrist, I'd be interested!
