Fossil Wrist PDA Watch

Fossil jumps on the PDA bandwagon with the introduction the Wrist PDA and Wrist PDA/PC. Data from the user's PDA is downloaded to the watch through an infrared interface, the popular beaming technology currently found in most handheld devices.

• 1,100 contacts
• 800 different appointments
• 5,000 to do's
• 350 memos

Users access their data through easy to use drop-down menus navigated by a four-direction button on the watch. Users can also receive up to twenty business cards beamed from handhelds or other Wrist PDA watches.

The Wrist PDA is compatible with the Palm III series, V series, VII series, m100 series and m500 series handhelds; Handspring: Visor, Edge; and Sony Clie models. The Wrist PDA/PC version supports the PocketPC operating system for Compaq iPaq, Cassiopeia and HP Jornada users. $145. www.fossil.com/pda.
