Has anyone been following these? Palm-based watch with infrared and hotsync connector: http://www.fossil.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=8578&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=447&iSubCat=448&iProductID=8578 Review: http://ptech.wsj.com/archive/ptech-20030717.html Watch which recieves/displays info from radio transmission: http://www.fossil.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=12405&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=450&iSubCat=451&iProductID=12405 I called the local Fossil store and was told the Palm device was coming out early next year. It looks like you could mount a small reflector on the watch to bounce the ir signals back toward you (or wear the watch upside down) :-) and have an ir device on your belt/shirt to communicate with the watch. Or you could run a line to the hotsync connector (have to make a special connector as the included one is too thick to use while wearing the watch). The radio transmission watch looks like a neat idea, but you'd have to decypher the signal and somehow broadcast your own signal. Plus it would not function as an input device.
