View the Tissot High-T photo album. Up until now, I had reviewed SPOT watches from all the MSN Direct watch manufacturers (Swatch, Fossil, Abacus, and Suunto) except Tissot. And now that I have finally had a chance to put the Tissot High-T through its paces, I can honestly say that...
View the Suunto n6HR photo gallery. If you're interested in this watch, I can make the decision really easy for you. As always, I'll go into all kinds of detail below, but for the majority of you, this first paragraph will be all you need. Here it goes: If you're...
View the Abacus Wrist PDA photo gallery. The first thing I'd like to do is congratulate Fossil for finally bringing the Wrist PDA to market. The Fossil and Abacus Wrist PDAs have been in the works for at least four years, and now they have finally arrived. Thanks, Fossil, for...
View the Abacus Wrist Net photo gallery. There are two things which distinguish the Abacus Wrist Net from the other dozen or so MSN Direct watches currently out there: 1) It is the cheapest ($129 retail), and 2) it is, in my opinion, probably the best looking. If you've been...
View the nTren MP3 watch photo gallery. The nTren MP3 watch is a welcome addition to the rapidly growing world of wrist MP3 players. Ironically, what sets the nTren MP3 watch apart is not its prowess as an MP3 player, but rather its surprisingly good looks. Just when most watch...
View the Xonix MP3 Watch photo gallery. The Xonix MP3 watch is essentially a simple quartz analog watch embedded inside a small and equally simple MP3 player on top of a 256MB USB storage device. Although the Xonix MP3 watch packs a fair amount of functionality into a single device...
Update (1/30/2005): Wrist Watch Review just posted a good review of the n6HR. Suunto Watches (the website, not the actual manufacturer of Suunto watches) has started taking pre-orders for the long-awaited $399.99 Suunto n6-HR Microsoft SPOT watch which is supposed to ship January 6, 2005. It looks like the Suunto...
View the Fossil Wrist Net photo gallery. Update (12/13/2004): Fossil has lowered the price of the Wrist Net FX3005 discussed in this review from $200 to $149 which, in my opinion, makes it much more attractive. Well done, Fossil! Fossil recently polished up and re-released their Wrist Net watch in...
More Tissot news! While I was scouring Tissot's site for additional information on the Navigator 3000, I came across a new look for the High-T. There's no evidence that anything other than the color of the band has changed, but it certainly makes a dramatic difference. I thought this was...
View the Paparazzi photo gallery. View the MSN Direct photo gallery. The Swatch Paparazzi is a refreshing and welcome addition to the existing line of MSN Direct watches. It's not that the existing models from Suunto, Fossil and Tissot are lacking -- in fact, I think they range from good...
Hopefully Fossil is serious this time about their new Wrist PDA: a full Palm OS (4.1) built right into a watch. Actually, I'm sure they were quite serious the first time they announced the Wrist PDA and took "Best of COMDEX" in the mobile devices category nearly two years, though...
It looks like Suunto has shifted their focus slightly with the new n3i. The n3i is a modest redesign of the n3, and my feeling is that they have shifted their target market slightly toward the business user. The two primary differences between the n3 and the n3i are the...
