i bought this a month ago and realised i didnt really need it. more of a novelty. only worn like 4 times to show it off.

sleak design, its pretty cool

features 128mb usb storage and its an analogue watch. water resitant and stuff.

usb cord hides in the watch band practically invisible really.

any ideas on price? cost me $120 im thinking $80?

Decent product, a few of my students have em. Problem is they haven't upgraded the memory in them for ages yet the cost has stayed the same.

Compare what memory USB or USB MP3 players you can get for the price these days. Hell, the new iPod flash drive (512MB) is only about ~$150.

I would be tempted to take it off your hands, but I recently got a 20GB iPod for my portable storage. Doesn't go on a wrist though ;)

I reckon ebay's your best bet.

Starion Related: at the moment I'm working out the best way to get the iPod installed into the car. Alpine and Pioneer have both introduced devices to connect them to their head units. Hmmm....

But a head unit isn't the best device to use to navigate through thousands of songs. I have a 40gb ipod that I connect to my car with a Belkin ipod adapter, then directly connect the aux out on the adapter to the stereo. IMHO it's much more convenient to be able to use the scroll wheel on the ipod.

Apparently you will be able to directly use the head unit dial/button controls (at least on the Alpines) to navigate Artists/Playlists etc, which could be more 'safe' while driving.

Will have to check the implementation of it before I go ahead and get one or the other.
