50 Cent's G-Unit MP3 watch

by Barb Dybwad, posted Jul 14th 2005 at 8:00AM

Yeah, we were totally bored with the whole MP3 watch genre until this came along. 50 Cent expands his oeuvre with this G-Unit MP3 watch in 256/512MB capacities, which'll hit jewelry stores near you this month. Be prepared to part with the requisite bling to have this unit livin' large on your wrist — $486 for the 256MB model.

$485 dollars for a crappy mp3 watch, is 50 cent on drugs or something? Only idiots will buy this thing, can people buy this gadget at the candy shop?

Wouldn't the watch be the "bling"?

Yes, Lost Canadian, I thought that was what our shoulders were there for! ;)

I don't care for an MP3 watch any more than I do for any other watch.
Watches are fashion only anymore.
If you can afford this, you are already carrying at least one other "time-enabled" device.

Looks like it has shitty earphones, and the watch is ugly to boot. He should stick to "producing" porn video's like Snoop.

No, bling usually implies some type of platinum, white gold, or ice. Which this has none of.

Do you think it's possible that the words "Bling" and "Shizzle" could be played out yet?.....just checking.

HEY ! I have an Omega watch. Don't knock on them cause they are really well made.

This watch is silly because I doubt it is waterproof, it should have an LCD screen and the wire going up and around you're arm is gonna look silly as hell.

Had I designed this thing, I woulda made WATERPROOF, with an LCD screen and with BLUETOOTH WIRELESS headphone adaptability. It would also have either 512 MB or 1 GB.

That would be worth $500 I think.

My Omega Watch cost me $2450

It's all right lookin' (not any more gaudier than some of Casio's G-Shock watches), but I don't suppose it's water resistant.

If there's a way they could make the 512MB watch water resistant and around $200, I'd consider getting it.

Go to ebay and search for "MP3 Watch 512 MB" you can find tons under $200.

"No, bling usually implies some type of platinum, white gold, or ice. Which this has none of."

Bling only needs to be shiny, and preferably ostentatious and expensive. The word comes from the "noise" that light makes as it bounces off flashy jewelry. It's not tied to any specific materials, other than the fact that bling-bling often has some of the materials you listed. I love the use of "ice" in your comment, though. Way to show off the street cred, holmes.

Imacomputer, you win the thread.

The headphones look like senns, but without the logos, so either theyre real and better than the normal bundled rubbish or theyre ripoffs and even worse. Eitherway, you cant expect a decent sound out of a watch.

50cent is a shit-head, and anyone who buy's this buy's into THAT lifestyle.

He wants us to buy an MP3 watch for more than the price of a 60GB iPod that also has a clock in it and fashionable earphones that can get you robbed? Fiddy needs to stick to selling his shoes and his Vitamin Water.

50 Cent is a smart dude. You would be surprised to see what he has planned next. It has something to do with reggaeton!!!! Find out more at this website www.MusicVideoBox.com

yeah, the headphones do look like Sennheisers apart from no logo and the retractable cord bit. I looked at the Sennheiser site but couldn't find them.

Would LOVE to get the headphones if they were the real deal. I am sick of my in-ear phones getting all tangled up and spending 5 minutes every time untangling them. Wind-up cases, like ones some Sennheisers come with are clunky.

Anyone know where I can get a pair of these headphones?

I support 50 Cent. The man is a genius, to take a concept like his whole career, and make it happen, not talk it but walk it. There are a lot things in this world that makes no sense to me but in America you can make millions doing just about anything. Major companys are making billions on many so-call dumb ideas. 50 is doing what all those who talk down about him wish they could. Why hate him or his ideas, simply say well I may not buy that watch because its not sensable for me, but I congradulate the brother 50 Cent for constantly doing great things. 50 is keeping the world aware that we are creative People and those on the streets hustling are misguided and some of our greatest buisnessmen and women. I would love to go into buisness with 50 Cent, because God has a plan for him and his haters will never understand that. millionmoor@yahoo.com God bless 50 Cent.
