"A Definitely Amazing Super Watch But a Definitely Lacking Chic Watch"

by Gamer_chIck on April 5, 2005

Pros: Amazing Possibilities, Love Receiving Messenger Messages, Love the Endless Features from News to Sports to Stocks to Movie Listings to etc, in the end a true smart watch ;)

Cons: Not the Most Flattering Design, Too Bulky, Tends to Lose Reception Under Certain Circumstances, Information Takes too Long to Be Received, Payment Plans Are Not that Flexible, Not Much Memory Space
Summary: Well I myself am a teen highschool gal who you probably wouldn't imagine to be into these sort of gadgets and gizmos but I'll be honest this watch is such a nice little as they say "smart watch". I'm on the go alot when it comes to helping out my clubs and such but it's always nice that I can get appointment reminders or last minute messages from my club mates right when and where I need them most.

Now besides getting communication or schedule needs this watch has such a plethora of features for so many different people which drew me to the watch the most. Keeping you always informed with regular news alerts and reports. For the sports fanatics up to the minute score updates and standings for your favorite sports teams. For the stock crunchers you get the checks and balances of the stock market recieved regularly. For you movie goers some regular listings for theaters in your area. Outlook Sycronization and MSN Messenger Messages which I mentioned earlier. And a whole truckload more which would take awhile to list.

The coverage areas as far as I know of seem pretty expansive across the U.S. but reception is a problem every now and then. Not to mention information being relayed is not quick as what MSN describes.

As far as price the watch falls I think reasonable. But the payment plans should be made more flexible rather than leaving a choice of only monthly or yearly payments.

In the end this watch is worth the cost and the effort. Past the not so great look of this particular model I still find this little "smart watch" a "smart buy" for anyone .
