More than a watch   |  May 2, 2005

Fossil Wrist PDA
It’s a watch and a Palm-based organizer, and as such it will appeal to many people, but not to everyone.

As a watch it is fairly large. As a Palm PDA, it is fairly small: the screen is a one-inch diagonal and monochromatic and

there’s only 8MB of onboard memory. But the point, of course, is that this is both a watch and a PDA, and you have to

make some compromises on both sides.

If the idea of carrying all your contacts, calendar entries, to-do lists and notes around on your wrist appeals to you,

then you’ll really like this watch. Otherwise, it’s not for you. The Wrist PDA sells for US$249.
