They shouldn’t have brought this product to the US, it’d be better if they tried this in a 2nd world country, ie parts of Mexico or South America. This is the dumbest looking new watch I’ve seen that acts like a notible gadget. This is a good example of how people are trying to make a fast buck. I can explain how simple it is to make this thing is, but no need.
I have to confess, upon reading this review i desparately wanted a calculator watch again, just like when i was little.
But then again, i dont recall them being terribly water or shock resistant, which is what i need considering i work in a consistently about to break or spring a leak cafe. :-/

well, the brando watch inspired me, and i found a calc watch on ebay for 9.99… http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2655617542&category=31387&rd=1
if i dont win this one, theres others…no biggie. and even though its not water-resistant it will be a nice test run, to see if i need a calculator on my wrist and need to invest in the uber-strong swiss army version.
(i bet i can find a reason. and i defintiely need a watch that will survive sticking my hand down a clog made of espresso grounds.)
this site is contributing to my geekiness and excessive impulse buying.

It doesn’t look good for the new Fossil watches. They keep postponing the release date. I think I just read that they may not even release them at all now. I think I’m more interested in the SPOT watches from Microsoft.

Remember the Casio calculator watch from the 80′s? There was also a calendar watch. Nice combo here but just as nerdy.

Carly,
Don’t give up. I bet that there is a calc watch out there that is shock and water resistant. It will just cost a bit more than $14.

My favorite computer watch so far has got to be my trusty onhandPC. Love the thing. I can’t wait to get one of the fossil palm watches too.
