$80+ watch not even water resistant??? [Posted on 2006-12-12]
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 $5. They argue that you should treat it like any other PDA - but it's a watch, too, and people don't usually take off their watches when it rains. Many people don't even take them off when they shower...
Nice try [Posted on 2006-12-16]
Too bad this was an idea that never went anywhere.
--Yes, a screen can be too small sometimes.
--Battery life 24 hours? Even if 48 hours, that's too short. It would be practical if it needed recharging maybe once a week, like a cellphone.
Has all but not worth [Posted on 2007-02-26]
I bought this watch only coz it was cheap like 29.99$. 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
Gimme a long life battery [Posted on 2007-06-01]
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.
It crashes and freezes [Posted on 2007-08-30]
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.
