3 out of 5 stars It crashes and freezes   August 29, 2007
It would be great watch if you could find applications that can be downloaded, added and actually worked. If you ran it in a vanilla mode, then you should be OK. My wife who is also Geek like myself, ditched the watch after wearing it few months. Maybe next version will be better.


2 out of 5 stars Gimme a long life battery   June 1, 2007
Its kinda cool for a PDA on your wrist, but the battery doesn't last for more than a day at most... I'd use it more if I didn't need to charge it every night. Plus all the data (at least on mine) gets erased if the battery dies. It was a nice try, but not good enough.


2 out of 5 stars Has all but not worth   February 26, 2007

I bought this watch only coz it was cheap like 29.99$. As I like gizmo things so this was a sure buy but after buying the drawbacks were more like very low battery life ...half a day and IR issues. The light is too dim on this watch and takes a while sometimes with the sytlus to get use too.
I will suggest only this watch if u like collecting watches and want this one just to have it as now the mrkt is full will more advance things



3 out of 5 stars Nice try   December 16, 2006

Too bad this was an idea that never went anywhere.

--Yes, a screen can be too small sometimes.

--Battery life 24 hours? Even if 48 hours, that's too short. It would be practical if it needed recharging maybe once a week, like a cellphone.



1 out of 5 stars $80+ watch not even water resistant???   December 11, 2006
 0 out of 3 found this review helpful

I liked this watch, until I got rained on and found out it is not even water resistant. If my son's $5 watch is water proof up to 30 meters, certainly Fossil could have made this watch water resistant for an additional $5. They argue that you should treat it like any other PDA - but it's a watch, too, and people don't usually take off their watches when it rains. Many people don't even take them off when they shower...
