 A GREAT Alternative for the iPood-Intolerant... March 10, 2006

I got this watch during a Friday Sale for $79.99 and used a $50 Amazon promotional certificate for a net cost of $29.99 with 2-day FREE Amazon Prime shipping...And I couldn't be happier with it after just one day! This is a very practical product for me. Now I don't have to listen to Wiggles or SpongeBob anymore while the boys are watching it on our Pontiac MontanaVision DVD system...They get to watch what they want and I get to listen to what I want while driving. I even loaded a couple of CDs from John Cummuta's "Transforming Debt Into Wealth" program and listened to them this morning while at the PC, driving the kids to school, working out in the yard, etc. It would've taken me days to find the time to sit down at a CD player -- uninterrupted -- and get through them before this mp3 watch!
It sounds really, really good, will hold mp3s recorded at a 320kbps bit rate, is as simple to use as drag and drop new files and highlight and delete old files and comes with an AC adapter/charger and USB interface/charger...It also has a CD-ROM driver, but it isn't necessary with Windows XP.
If you're new to ripping CDs into mp3s, well here's where you start...Get the April 2006 MaximumPC magazine (or go to their website) and check out the article on copying movies and music to any media you desire. Download EAC and LAME then follow the directions and you'll be an expert in no time at all! At a 320kbps bit rate, I get about 40 seconds per 1MB of memory which translates into nearly 3 hours of recording time per 256MB watch (even more time at lower bit rates). That's not bad for something that's attached to your arm just like a "normal" watch...No dropping it and having the earbuds rip out of your ears...No fiddling around with click-wheels to control the music...And thank goodness no carrying it around in your hand or stuffing into a pocket or purse or some other way of carrying it around with you. Just strap it on and go!!
If you've been reluctant to join the iPood craze like me, now you can leapfrog to the front of the curve with one of these COOL mp3 watches...If I could listen to 2 things at once, I wouldn't hesitate to get another of these for the other arm!! Now if my mp3 sunglasses will just get here I can be mp3'd by both watch and shades...

I loaded the watch with 62 MP3's this seems to be the max it will hold. The sound is very very good. I'm happy with the watch.

I own this watch (not this brand, my watch is made by some kid in china, as is this watch and the G-unit branded watch, they are all the same exact thing)
This watch is awesome, first off it plays any MP3 file, up to 320kpbs (not 256 as stated). The watch shows up as a 'thumb drive' and you can add any type of file to it, the order you add the files is the order they play in, which is really cool, as most mp3 players do them alphabetical or some other stupid way. Any file thats not playable, (eg photo, text doc, etc) it just skipps over it, which makes it equally valuable for storing all sorts of docs in addition to your music.
Its very easy to use while working out, cuz you don't have to hold it and if wearing long sleeves, the earphones go up your sleeve and most people don't even know your listening to music.
I recommend this to anybody who wants to listen to a full CDs (3-6) of music, the battery lasts about 9.5hrs.
however, the watch is heavy (50g), and while nobody has even guessed that it was an mp3 watch, it is a bit thick so very skinny people may not look right wearing it, but overall, i can't think of a better implimentation of this, seriously, this is just perfect, the only thing i could ask for is more storage space, but honestly, with a device like this, more then 256mb is just overkill cuz you have to skip each song manually, there is not playlists or lcd.
