The Smart Watch (ICW001) can communicate and transfer data to and from a mobile phone, PDA or PC via IrDA or the included communications cable. The 256-color LCD display can show images. There is also a melody player to store small tunes. The 256-color display has a 72x64 pixel resolution. It has a 128kb storage. This Wrist Watch is more cool to look at than really useful.
I4U has posted a user review of the Smart Watch. The Smart Watch is on sale at ThinkGeek for $189.99. |

Update:
Fossil Releases Bluetooth Watches in US
Rumor surfaced on a bluetooth enabled Wrist Watch, apparently in development by Seiko. Story and photo originated at WastedBrain.com. Lots of other sites like Engadget and Gizmodo picked up the story.
Seiko actually already showed a bluetooth enabled Wrist Watch in 2001 and again in 2003. I cannot find a source other than WastedBrain for the new Seiko bluetooth Watch Photo. See below a photo from the 2001 version.
IXI a maker of wireless device infrastructures has a press-release in 2003 describing a bluetooth enabled Seiko Instruments Inc. (SII) Wrist Watch.
So far I would say the Seiko Bluetooth is comparable with the Samsung Wrist Phone story. Those Gadgets surface every other year and somehow never become reality.

TTE's (Think the Earth) first project the wn-1 earth wrist watch, is the world's first Earth-shaped watch that rotates on its own axis. Manufactured by TTE corporate partner Seiko Instruments Inc. wn-1 indicates time with an earth-dial (a dome-shaped 24-hour hand), a position indicator, and a minute hand. The hours are read counterclockwise one revolution per 24 hours, the minutes clockwise; there is no second hand. I think this watch is extremly cool and out there. Think the Earth (TTE) wn-1. |

GadgetMadness writes: For the rabid gadget golfer (there's got to be at least 3) comes the Suunto G9 GPS Golf Watch. This marvel measures and processes data collected by a golfer on the golf course, including yardage and score, and can even make suggestions on club selection! I don't care for golf myself, which is why Suunto threw in a barometer, thermometer, altimeter, and a 3D digital compass all built-in.
SonicWatch.com is selling the Suunto G9 Golf Watch. Compare Prices at more stores. |

Here we have a technology wrist watch that takes the fun out of fishing. The Hummingbird SmartCast Fish Finder Watch uses a floating sonar sensor attached to the fishing line (it weighs about 1 oz.) and has an operating radius of 75’, transmitting real-time views of fish to the display unit you wear like a watch. The sensor reads water depth up to 100’ with a 90° sonar beam to find the sport where fish hide. All controls are operated from the one-touch wrist unit, including the fish proximity alarm, sensitivity level, depth range, and fish identifier. The remote sensor provides 400 hours of continuous usage, and automatically shuts off after it is removed from water to conserve battery life. The SmartCast Fish Finder Watch is available at Hammacher Schlemmer with Life Time Guarantee and at is also currently on sale at Amazon.com. |

Swatch introduces funny Wrist Watch with kamasutra bunnies. I don't know if this Watch is rated R for sexual content. Bunnysutra is a Swatch Touch with a male and female white rabbit. A tap on the watch glass proposes a different “happy bunny position” each time. It is selling for $55 in the Swatch Online Store. The site warns that demand is high for this watch and the wait could be long. It already catches over $170 on eBay. Swatch has right now a giant Bunnysutra billboard on Time Square in New York. See Yahoo Story. |

I4U just published a review of the NHJ wrist watch TV VTV-101.
Quote: The TV unit itself measures 48x48x18mm and weighs 50g (my measurements), making it the smallest TV I have ever seen. The TV display itself measures 1.5" diagonal. Set button displays the current channel in the time display. With the arrow buttons I now can change the channels. The first good reception I got on channel 26. I was amazed how "watch-able" TV is on this post stamp size display. It really works well. The display is sharp. Text displayed is readable. The colors are vivid. The only challenge I have is getting good reception. Read the full Review. The NHJ Wearable TV is available in the US through Dynamism. Catalog Company Hammacher Schlemmer sells it now for $199.95!. |

I remember having one of those as a kid. Led-Watch in the UK sells new LED digital watches a genuine LED digital module not an LCD one giving it the recognisable red retro 70's time or date display. This newly manufactured LED module offers greatly improved battery life compared to old type 70's modules, in normal use batteries last approximatly 12 months. LED-Watch offers the TX2 Led watch with a square design and the TX1 with a round dial design. Both come in stainless steel with silver chrome coating. The Watches start at £44.99. LED-Watch ships world-wide for free. |

TokyoFlash a japanese online store, features a Unique collection of Wrist Watches.
The designs of some of them are just crazy and push the definition of how to show time.
The one in the photo is called "Pimp".
The time is displayed in 3 colors. The left side represents the hours and can be read by looking at the digits to the left of them. The minutes are displayed in 12 rows of 5, in green, yellow, and red, with each row representing 5 minutes, each light representing a minute. To count the minutes after 15 minutes it is easiest to start by looking at the competed red row(s) and then start counting from there. Each completed red row is a 15, 30, 45, 60 minute indicator.
Does not get more complicated to read time, but it definitly looks cool and for $129.00 this is an affordable head-turner.
Check out the TokyoFlash Store for more out-there wrist watches. TokyoFlash ships to the US and Europe.

Porsche Design announced a futuristic chronograph with combined mechanical-digital chronometer display - The Porsche Design Indicator.
The idea to develop the Porsche Design super-chronograph was born as early as the end of 2000 by Eterna’s CEO Ernst F. Seyr. The design of the watch is in line with the spectacular new Porsche Carrera GT. The mechanical high-end watch is able to display as it shows stopped time intervals up to nine hours and 59 minutes in large digits. Besides the stop function it also features a power reserve indicator. It uses a slightly curved 42 mm sapphire crystal for dramatic dial display. The price is said to be 65,000Euros.
