Update:
New Abacus SPOT Watches Announced

Microsoft intorduced SPOT watches in 2003. I4U reviewed the Fossil Abacus model when they came on the market in 2004.

Bill Gates aknowledges the commercial failure of the first generation of SPOT watches. He says the new generation will be thinner, sport a color screen and they will have better distribution channels.

Here is my suggestion for a SPOT watch that actually could have some success: The new SPOT Watch needs to have Bluetooth (see Seiko Phatch to communicate with my mobile phone to display incoming calls and SMS. Yes Mr. Gates I agree it needs a color screen and it needs to be thinner and look stylish. Only if the watch adds value to the mobile phone I think it has a chance.

I was wearing watches all the time. Since I have my small mobile phone with time display always in my pocket, I stopped wearing watches regularly. A technology watch I would wear needs to have added value to the mobile phone, be comfortable to wear and look cool.
