Abacus by Fossil Wrist Net Watch with MSN review: Abacus by Fossil Wrist Net Watch with MSN

 

Abacus by Fossil Wrist Net Watch with MSN

Relatively inexpensive; easy integration with Outlook Calendar; physically attractive.

Not terribly comfortable; requires a monthly or yearly service fee; needs frequent recharging; receiving instant messages takes too long.

The Abacus AU4000 is a decent-looking SPOT watch, but its band is poorly designed.

Fossil Abacus Wrist PDA

 

When we first put on Fossil's Abacus Palm OS watch, a colleague predicted one of two things would happen: Either we would get mugged shortly after stepping outside or be proclaimed a geek god.

Stylish watch with full Palm OS capabilities; ingenious design

Tiny text; sometimes dim screen; quiet alarm sound; too big for folks with smaller wrists

Geek gods unite: the Palm watch is here, and it works. Just make sure you have sharp eyes and nimble fingers.

Fossil Abacus Smart Watch 2006

 

This version comes in five attractive yet neutral color variations, which don't call too much attention to themselves. The face still looks like a small computer screen, but it isn't as jarring as previous versions due to bezel's reduced size

For those new to the product, the Smart Watch is a computerized timepiece that, with a subscription, can display several self-updating information channels, including news, weather, traffic, stocks, and more. It receives updates via FM radio signals...
