I bought a Fossil Palm wristwatch ( http://www.fossil.com/jump.jsp?itemID=2208&itemType=CATEGORY ). Naturally I uploaded Hiarcs, Chess Genius and Chess Tiger on it. The watch is definetely expensive at 200 USD ( the same watch with Abacus (http://www.abacuswatches.com/) brand is on sale for 80 USD at tigerdirect.com ), large, not water-proof. In short it is an ugly watch. But it has Palm OS 4, Motorola 66 MHz processor and 7,7 MB useable memory. Being the chess software addict that I am, it just suits me fine. Chess Tiger's interface is not good on this watch which has a black 160*160 resolution. Abacus is definetly the better deal since both watches are exactly the same except for the band and brand. Leather band of the Fossil will deteoriate with time and it is a non standard band which means that you have to return the watch with 30 USD to replace the band. Abacus's band is also non standard but it is plastic on the side that touches the arm. The other side is leather stiched on plastic, so it looks like leather from the outside. Amici sumus,
