Check more than just the time with this Wrist PDA watch, a revolutionary personal organizer cleverly disguised as a stylish wristwatch with a black leather strap. This oversized watch, powered by the Palm OS platform, can store hundreds of contacts, check your calendar, and make a To-Do list from its surprisingly big 8MB of memory. Other features include convenient drop-down menus, alarm reminder window for recurring appointments, a memo pad, and a selection of different time and date displays to give your Wrist PDA its own personalized "dial" when not in PDA mode. A stylus is integrated into the buckle.

Summary: heavy, geek tool
Comment: this watch is by all means cool, but it would be better if it weighed about 3 oz. less and had a built in stopwatch
i love how all the apps for previious palms work on it and people are instantly impressed by its features.
the worst things are
size
weight
B&W screen
Customer Rating:
Summary: price difference
Comment: Another review asked why this one is more expensive than the other one. I THINK it may be because this one ships from Amazon, and the other from TigerDirect. Other than that, I think functionality is the same, although I believe Fossil offers several different bands.

Summary: PDA watch heavyweight
Comment: I tried one of these watches with Mac OS 10.4.2. The version of Palm OS supplied would not install because of a permissions issue. Even if it would have the watch is far to heavy wih its metal case. Put it in a plastic case to save weight and improve on the battery life and maybe I'll buy one and keep it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: the only problems - battery life & price
Comment: I will buy it
but what is the difference between
Fossil's FX expensive series &
and its Abacus AU low-priced series ?
They are of the same functions !! same system !!

Summary: This Palm OS PDA stays with you.
Comment: Most PDAs are easier to forget, loose, or break than this unit appears to be. That is why I was willing to pay for a Fossil FX2008 Wrist PDA. Sure, I could buy a Palm OS PDA with more and newer features. What good would it do if I forget it at home or broke it in my pocket?
If you do not like the stylus in the watch band, you can buy a combination pen/stylus. That is what I did and it works for me. Then you still have the stylus in the band for emergency.
Someone inventive could put the body in a hard case and turn it into a pocket watch/PDA. I know of no other Palm OS PDA that is as small in diameter.
I am never without my watch, so now I am never without a PDA.
