The Bottom Line	The Abacus AU4000 is a decent-looking SPOT watch, but its band is poorly designed.	The Fossil Abacus Mobilewear Caller ID Wristwatch has a cool factor that is reminiscent of a James Bond movie, but that's not enough to win our accolades. Its large size and limited compatibility with cell phones makes this more of a novelty gadget than a must-have.	The Suunto N3i is one of the most stylish SPOT watches available, but it comes at a cost.	We wouldn't rely too heavily on the G-Shock's flakey atomic-clock-signal reception, but otherwise, it makes for a fine rugged watch.	Microsoft and Fossil have made some significant improvements in their next-generation Abacus Smart Watch series, but it's still unclear whether the service's features can attract a broad audience.
