I ’ve yet to grease one’s palms into this whole SPOT watch thing from Microsoft , in the main because I do n’t sense like compensate a yearly fee to tell time . But the watches do propose some cool , if special affair , so I am almost persuaded to give it a endeavor after study this reappraisal of the Fossil Abacus lookout man . Not because this SPOT sentry does anything that the others do n’t do , but just because it does n’t look place retina anal intercourse like most of them do . For $ 130 , though , I really bid I could set up RSS feed or tick emails or something on it . I have it away devices that rent me soak in excess information , but only when I get to pick what that information is .
Review : Fossil Abacus[WristWatchReview ]

I own a Fossil SPOT watch ( the fresh one which looks even cooler than the Abacus ) .
I noticed one big inaccuracy in your report card today , and in the article that your write up was highlight .
The SPOT lookout man do _ not _ need a subscription to get the time . In fact , they get the time , the current day s high / low weather , some national newsworthiness headlines , and major exponent ( stock citation ) gratuitous of bang .
If you need to pay off the $ 40 / yr , you’re able to get current weather temp , more news stories , sports scores , local flick , and a caboodle of other good stuff . And for $ 60 / yr ( which is what I m paying ) , you’re able to get Outlook calendar sync and instant messages ( and e - mails forward through www.spotdev.net cheque it out ) .
