Probably my favorite watch ever is the Abicus Wrist PDA. While it is not inherently extremely accurate, the battery is only good for a day or two without recharge, so normally you connect it to a USB port every night for charging/HotSync... at which time it resets to the clock of the computer you're synching too. Just make sure that machine has a good NTP setup and you'll have time as good as a WWVB watch as well as a surprising amount of computing power backed by 8mb of memory on your wrist at all times.
Those who get bored with a single watch face can hit one of the several interface buttons and switch to other face programs. It's also handy for carrying e-books (make sure your eyeglasses prescription is current if over 40). I wore mine religiously (despite the inherent fashion crime) until replacing several items of everyday personal electronics (camera, cellphone, PDA watch) with a Treo 680. As much fun as the watch was, going from 8MB to 8GB of memory, a bigger, full-color display, decent audio and mobile internet was a compelling argument. And the Treo syncs itself to the cell network clock automatically. Wrist PDAs go for $60-80 US on eBay these days. http://www.makezine.com/blog/archive/2005/08/reading_website.html http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=31360 -- 73 de Maggie K3XS Editor, Phil-Mont Mobile Radio Club Blurb - http://www.phil-mont.org Elecraft K2 #1641 -- AOPA 925383 -- ARRL 39280-- _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
