Fossil Service Unacceptable

The PDA itself is OK. The screen is small, but that is to be expected on a Watch.My PDA has a very quite alarm. If it is not held next to my ear, I can't hear it. It has been in our house alarming for an entire weekend with no one noticing! It is much quieter than any watch alarm I have ever had or heard. I suspect it is defective.I have tried to contact Abacus (or Fossil) 3 times regarding this. The first time the service rep said that someone would get back to me. No one did - and it is 4 month...

I want a computer on my wrist. I really do! This isn't it, though.

I bought this for myself for Christmas 2005. (Had my wife give it to me.) Time enough has passed for me to critique it.I just don't use it.First, this CANNOT be your primary Palm device. The battery life is awful.Second, if you're over forty and experience any eyesight diminishment, forget this device. (I've had great eyesight all my life, but now I realize that my eyes are starting to fade because I cannot make things out on this device.) I was able to work OK with the tiny stylus.Third, it's really...

Good watch but not for everyone!

Buy if:1)Spend most of the time in an office. So you can enter data in palm desktop, sync and carry along...2)Are patience when entering data on watch. Sometimes it is difficult to use the provided mini-stylus, I suggest buying one of those multi-functional pens(pen & stylus), it's more confortable.3)Looking for a portable & basic PDA. Don't buy if you're looking for an all-in-one PDA.4)Have a good pair of eyes, of course.5)Want to call the attention. ;)...

it works

just a few things to add to the previous reviews:1)Not for people with bad vision; the text is, of course, very small.2)battery life can be greatly extended by turning the screensaver to off instead of time.I run my watch this way and I play games for hours some days and only run the battery down to 75%.3) I had trouble getting many applications to run on the watch, but found some games that worked great.4)I have really enjoyed being able to enter dates, appointments, and tasks on my wristwatch...

Battery life kills the joy

This really is a pheonominal item with a list of capabilities that far exceeds most of it's drawbacks. Certain other aspects of this device take accomodations that are to be expected (text is fairly small for example). Overall it is a great item with one, significant drawback. The battery life is HORRIBLE. I veered away from ever using the backlight (this drains immensly on the battery) and it still lasted just a day and a half, at most, after a complete charge.The difficulty this creates is that...
