Checkout the Skullcandy MacGyver MP3 Watch
While a watch with the ominously cartoonish Skullcandy logo is likely to make the shortlist for very few Father's Day gift buyer's this weekend, it's one of the few gadgets combining the functional style of a sport watch with the geek factor of portable music player in a package meant to be strapped to the wrist. Coming in three different drive sizes: 256MB, 512MB and 1GB, playback support requires jacking headphones into the side of the watch. A built in microphone records to WAV. 5 equalizer modes tweak the sound of WAV, MP3 and WMA files, although no word on PlaysForSure status (I'm assuming it doesn't). Playback time is a solid five hours per battery charge. USB 1.1 is slightly disappointing, but isn't too surprising considering the compact size. I'd be more inclined to use this watch as a wrist top thumb drive alternative, since the likelihood of accidentally misplacing something strapped to the wrist is much less than pocket-toting a keychain drive or Flash memory card. Presumably you could add an encrypted partition to keep data secure in the event of a mugging. I still find the Skullhandy headphones to be a useful solution for grabbing calls while jacked into your music.
