What ever happened to that watch that you could sync with your computer monitor? I don't really want one, I just want to know why exactly it was pulled from production.
That would be the original Data Link watch. It cost something like $120 new, (almost $180 in today's dollars). I stopped using mine when I screwed up the alarm while replacing the battery. Hold it up to the screen and it synched with the computer by reading the lines flashing on the screen. The sync process was pretty tenuous, but there are multiple models of new Data Link USB watches available almost everywhere now for roughly $60.
