One-Seg TV Watch

From what we can tell, you'll have to buy some Japanese beer in order to get a chance to win one of these (it seems you can also win some meat), but this One-Seg TV Watch looks to be a prize worth drinking for (but really, what isn't?). In addition to picking up One-Seg terrestrial digital broadcasts, the TV Watch (available in three stylish colors) also doubles as a completely impractical cellphone once you pop in a Willcom W-SIM card. And, yes, the watch is as big as it looks, with its 2.4-inch screen pushing the dimensions to a beefy 2.3 x 3.5 x 0.88-inches, weighing in at just over four ounces. No word if/when these'll be available simply for purchase, or how much they'll set you back -- not that it'd be of much use to anyone outside of Japan, unless you've got a thing for oversized watches (which we obviously do).

Why is the silver one more expensive?

"Why is the silver one more expensive?"

That one says under it that 3,000 people will win it; the others, 1,000 people.

I would buy one if it came in at under $100 dollars. I mean, it's a freakin' TV on your arm(it would be better if it was like Leela's armband).

Shib, that's what i was thinking. it looks very similar to the henshin Changer of the Denji Sentai Mega Ranger.

Just like from cartoons! Helllloooo Jetsons! But it's really not that special. It can't host video conferences.
