Fossil Wrist PDA FX2008

Though nice in theory, the reality of the Fossil Wrist PDA leaves much to be desired.

Mac compatible; stable Palm OS 4.1; unlike Microsoft SPOT watches, it doesn't require a monthly or yearly service fee.

Display elements are tiny and difficult to manipulate; using the stylus is a joke; not water resistant.

From the tiny display to the difficult input methods, the Fossil Wrist PDA isn't worth the price. Windows users interested in a smart watch will find their needs better met with one of Microsoft's SPOT watches.

Fossil Wrist Net FX3005

As SPOT watches go, this one is good-looking and comfortable, but it's still big and requires regular charging.

Easy integration with Outlook Calendar; water resistant to 100 meters; affordably priced.

Requires a monthly or yearly service fee; bulky.

Nothing screams like a SPOT watch, but this one does so a little less loudly than other models.

Smart' watches may not be as smart as they think they are.
