    I could buy 5 shares of Google. I think that's a better investment.

    You take a luxury item like a $725 Swiss watch with patented touch screen, and you pair it with... MSN?!?!?

    requires deep pockets??? My first PC cost $1500 without the printer and that was 1993 dollars. Hell my non-geeky watches usually cost me around $300 for a decent one. My GPS, altimiter, electronic compass one was closer to $500 and that doesn't include email =)

  4. -MSN +Bluetooth = my $ by Joseph+Vigneau · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I like the design of this watch. I looked for a long time to find a watch that was modestly priced, and not the standard 20-something standard-issue "got my first well-paying job" watch that everyone else has. So I got a Seiko Arctura. I would like a watch like this Tissot, but it would be much more attractive for me if it dumped the MSN feature, and added Bluetooth, so it could sync with my calendar, automatically set alarms, display the caller-id from my cell phone, etc...

  5. Do people still wear watches? by leathered · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I have done without a watch ever since I got my first mobile phone. Many of my friends also no longer have watches and merely pull their phone out of there pocket if they want to know the time. Come to think of it I'm sure I see a lot less people wearing watches than say ten years ago.
