Seems like these would get stolen once thieves hear about them.

Today, you can buy a 256MB USB Watch without much trouble at all. I dont see any issue with these novelty USB drives being available in reasonable sizes at the time of pruchase.

The real problem is that the sweet spot for USB drives have acheived an improvment about 80% each year. The means your USB watch seems out of date in only 2 years.
