Hey all,

Any of these cool U-watches available for sale? Must come already assembled. I can rebuild mechanical watches, but not electronic ones. Thanks. e-mail me at piv74@yahoo.com

Someone should try to replicate a CFX-400

Why didn’t he just engineer a new band support?

I wonder what the professors would have said if I had one of these during a math exam back in university?

For small production runs the price isn’t that bad. But it does seem high when compared with anything that is produced in quantities of millions.

Hmm, for half the price I would. But I’m a tight nerd.

nubie: if you could free up an input (maybe change the LCD to 4-bit interface?). You could add in a IR receiver.. which, with enough spare memory, would allow learning capability. Or easier, program the codes over the serial link/hardcode into firmware.

Of course you’d have to write the firmware to handle all of this on the PIC side first.

but seriously though, who would ever regularly use a watch as a remote.

I don’t see how to make it say “Sylar” in the background.

On perusal of the website I see there is an IR Led, I really want this, as most watch TV Remotes are useless, I need at minimum an aspect key and the number/navigate/enter keys, this is so cool.

Ouch, for $99 I am sure I could get the Palm Pilot watch (And I will bet it is programmable with scientific functions :D ).

This is still cool, but dare I say too geeky for me?

I’m geeking out, and to think I miss my Timex calculator watch (don’t let anyone know I used it on exams in 9th grade, there was an option to turn off the keypress “beep” ;) )

Does Digg sell stuff too, now?

The next batch of watches are going to the assemblers today and should be available within the next two weeks.
The current list of people signed up for next batch exceeds supply (if they all follow though and order one that is) – oops!
