I got to look at one recently. They are a tiny bit bulky, but beautiful. Would like to see an accelerometer in there though. And GPS. (Pretty soon this thing would be an iPhone on your wrist.)

http://www.metawatch.org/ The TI version has an accelerometer - and a higher price tag to accompany it.

Why would you want an accelerometer in your watch?

Presumably to act as a pedometer and sleep analysis tool; think Fitbit.

this. I would rather have a jawbone up to track health, there's very few times I'm wishing i had a watch to give me caller-id info.
