I'm also trying something new...hosting a Google Hangout at http://www.getinpulse.com/hangout. Drop by, ask questions and get a live demo of inPulse.

EDIT: Hmm. I should have placed the order straight away. Looks like the site is getting hammered now.

I don't particularly want or need a watch that can display email alerts or interface with my phone or even run a program I wrote (although that last one is really slick). I have a smartphone in my pocket which does all that.

And I definitely don't want a watch whose battery I have to charge every night. Last year I changed the battery in my current watch for the first time ever. I've had it since 2001.

What I would pay money for, though, is a slick watch with a brilliant and skinnable display. One of the reasons why I've stuck with the same watch for ten years is because it (Casio Databank Telememo 30) is one of the few watches I've found with a screen at a high enough resolution to display day, date, and time all at once at a size readable from 5 feet away without looking chunky or ugly.

(No, I don't care about my watch's ability to store telephone numbers. It's a curious example of an evolutionary dead-end; the ability to store 30 telephone numbers in my watch was barely convenient, though gimmicky, when I was in high school. This is true no longer. But the fact that Casio had to design a screen capable of displaying a name and telephone number means that the screen is also capable of fulfilling my requirements above.)

That said, I have one, and use it for running and love it.

Once a device has ANT+, it is the logical tool for data transfer as well, so devices like Garmin watches come with an ANT+ USB dongle to integrate with your computer.

And, nothing ANT+ seems to work under Linux. So let's skip this for a while and stick to Bluetooth or USB; it works better and works everywhere. You have to plug in your watch to charge it anyway.

Somehow your background colors are not supporting the watches well.

Edit: Just tried removing the background and the orange element. You really should consider making the background darker. It will make your watches look more digital and crisp. (You should also considder getting a proper photographer or photoshop wizard to re-do the pictures of those watches)

Again love the watches, but can't stand seeing them not presented properly.

Lets you "remix" websites and share them.

Here are examples I would try doing

Oh interesting that someone thought of comparing the sizes:

Particularly for allowing someone to easily get a customized interval workout. More specifically, I would enjoy having a heart rate alarm that allowed me to spend 10 mins at 70% max heart rate, then switch up to 4 minutes at 95%, 2 mins recovery to no less than 70%, repeat . . .

I could see how personal/high school/college coaches might like that.

Has anybody done any hacking with the garmins HRMs with GPS?

What's the battery life like?

I gather input is bluetooth and the side button, output is speaker (buzzer?), display and vibration? If this is the case then I'm sure a few more buttons would be useful, or possibly a basic touchscreen - something along the lines of splitting the screen into four reactive areas, obv not pixel-precision touchscreen as that would be silly.

Great product at a great price - best of luck with this!

Unless I'm missing something, can I recommend an android app I wrote called NameBuzz: http://goo.gl/rd7df . It's basically a vibration based caller ID, that works based on the number of syllables in the callers name (Or you can add a per-contact pattern).

Not much there but they mention an ARM7 microcontroller. I remember seeing one of their job postings here and they were asking for ARM experience as well.

I'm mostly joking, but it does depend on the program it's running. I think most of them go to sleep to conserve battery so you have to push the button to wake it up.

It might be cool to have an accelerometer so you could shake to display the time (and do things like tracking your motion like Fitbit)
