Hmm… Wifi presence indicator? Accelerometer? and with some fancy calculations even a speedometer… v=at. It is a watch to begin with anyway…

And before the Arduino haters post something, here is a couple of non-arduino boards. Go develop the same project on these PIC platforms.

Cool project. I agree this should be radio controlled. I say that in all my posts regarding clocks :P

@golddigger50: cell phone module? :D

Am i the only one who thinks these watches are all stupid and ugly?
Look at the size of it!
None of the straps or housings made are decent in any way.
I guess some people just enjoy looking idiotic

If you cant find better solution than one which was found in 1800 why bother ?

Thermometer (both ambient and human).

Pulse.

Light intensity.

Flash storage.

Magnetic field or electric field intensity (lighting predictor?).

Tv be gone. pulse oximeter, breathalyzer, blinkey light hallucinatory thing, strobe guitar tuner, tachometer, midi drum sequencer, bluetooth controller, tap tempo bmp counter. Ir secret messaging device, current probe, decibel meter. narrow band spectrum analyzer, rfid read and spoofer. personal data logger.

@Osgeld
yes really, a mechanical hand can show more than 12 positions

@Justin:

Yea, someone could do a whole variety of things with this if it were outfitted with an array of sensors.

I, personally, like the idea of integrating some sort of 802.11 module with a TCP/IP stack, combined with a 16/32GB Flash chip for wireless NAS “in the pocket”(yea, I, too, cannot see this as a “wrist” watch)…
