Jason Dunn has posted a new review of a Fossil Abacus SPOT MSN Direct watch.
"The Fossil Abacus SPOT watch is an interesting concept, but for my needs, a failed execution. The idea of a device that actively gets pushed data over FM radio frequencies is compelling, because it allows for scenarios that are much smoother than using a Pocket PC or Smartphone and GPRS/1xRTT. But is it compelling enough to make it worth carrying another device with you? That depends on your needs."
Seems pretty nice, but it could use some more features like traffic reports and Bluetooth connectivity for interaction with a Pocket PC.
