Description:
Yeah, it looks cool, and the idea of an MP3/WMA player, timekeeper, and voice recorder with 128MB all on your wrist is pretty addicting. Unfortunently, it doesnt do its job well. Linux wont see it (it has the STMP3410 chipset) as a usb-storage device, so you cant transfer data using a Linux machine. I had to install the drivers on a Windows machine, and even after the MP3s were on it, it shows bugs. Almost impossible to change the battery because the screws are so small (its rechargable, but the charge can wear out so youll have to replace it eventually), and the instructions are hard to understand if you dont speak Chinese (there are translated instructions, but theyre hard to read because of spelling/grammar errors). The buttons dont work well either (must be held down), and after a while, the time on the watch froze (it showed 11:03 AM when the time was actually 2:13 PM). I reset the watch, and it functioned correctly for about 30 seconds before freezing again. There are also other bugs (read the manual for them if you buy this thing).
Verdict: Do not buy. it sounds cool, but it only seems that way. Not worth the $119.99 USD.
