Latest MP4 wristwatch sports an FM transmitter, too

We're all but convinced that nobody actually wears these video-playing watches out in public, but just in case there's some otherworldly group out there that takes pride in adorning their wrists with timepieces that are utterly heinous, you're in luck. This iteration sports a 1.8-inch 160 x 128 resolution OLED display, integrated media player that handles MP3, WMA and MP4 files, a built-in Li-ion, 4GB of internal memory, voice recording capability, USB 2.0 connectivity and an FM transmitter for good measure. All this can be yours for the above average price of $126, but if you have any respect for yourself whatsoever, you'll glide right on past this one.

First comment!

Looks quite nice actually, I wouldn't be ashamed to wear it, might actually save me some hassle when travelling in other peoples cars and wanting to share my music collection ;)

I too, don't think this watch looks too bad or nerdy (unlike those cell phone watches). It could in fact be rather handy since you get all the stuff in a small wearable package. My buddy has an older version of this and it's pretty cool actually. I hate how Engadget craps on anything that's no an iINSERTWORDHERE product.

Yea me too I would wear it with pride...

Especially if I spent $125 on it.

still rubbery and bulky.. the fm radio is cool, but who wants a rubber band or to listen to FM radio when broadcasting "American Gangster" on their mp4 watch while in the club?

This stainless steel mp4 watch did the trick for me and got it in like 7 days...

When I was a kid, I used to wear one of these super chunky watches to school. It was made my Casio, and it took very small black and white digital pictures and video. My motivation was mostly James Bond, but I can't say that I didn't think about lending it to a friend that happened to be a girl, that happened to have first hour PE. I was 12-ish though, so I can't say I ever had the cajones for that. Still it was fun, but in this day and age where the "oooOoOoOo" factor is completely absent from something like this, you are better off not even thinking about wearing it.

Does it come in brown? If it did, it would soooooooo match my Zune.

[Walter @ Nov 2nd 2007 9:33AM]

No bluetooth...otherwise I would get it.

[TDG01 @ Nov 3rd 2007 3:38PM]

BT would make this a great running thing-ama-jig...

[paul.davis @ Nov 2nd 2007 9:51AM]

This would look pretty good in a Battle Dress Uniform (Military BDU) Most of us are lamer geeks anyways so why the hell not!?

[DickHardknocks @ Nov 2nd 2007 9:54AM]

I LIKE IT.

typically on Engadget I see ugly watches for huge prices or earphones that cost upwards of $199.

This is a nice product which I would consider buying at that price... but, the downside is it doesn't claim to have BLUETOOTH A2DP. I can't realisticly run a wire down my arm.

4GB is fantastic.

is it water proof?

[Mike Bellman @ Nov 2nd 2007 12:44PM]

If waterproof, I'd wear one but not as a time piece. More like audio/video jewelry.

The same as the kind of clothing which will have moving pictures on it. Very uber-geek and fun for the youth.

[coolbee8 @ Nov 2nd 2007 9:55AM]

Battery life? does the clock still work if there is no battery?

[Dirkus @ Nov 2nd 2007 11:45AM]

Comes with a "built-in Li-ion"?!?!

Jesus Christ, GET IN THE CAR!!!

[jasmine landau @ Nov 3rd 2007 3:25AM]

i still like the iriver s10 the best of all these. just wish it was available here!

[wyszkow @ Nov 3rd 2007 3:46PM]

When the open os in this watches?
not exactlu Linux but open source.

please ;)

[Chris Taylor @ Nov 3rd 2007 4:28PM]

I have one of the older models (in orange :-) I love orange.

The one dissappointment is that the clock alone runs the battery dead in just under 1 day. (I liked pausing it so the clock would stay on as it looks really nice :-)

ITs also not that big. Well on gigantic paws like mine it is not big and I still had to make my own "hole" to allow it to wrap around my wrists :-)

Come in, Lambert.
Damnit, my OPSAT's internal memory is full...too much U2 concert video...

[Ima @ Jan 17th 2008 10:01PM]

There is a better version out with bluetooth and 4GB. The bluetooth will make it just SO much easier in the gym. Still a pity that it doesn't have FM. I saw it on http://www.mp3plusmore.com/product/404 and a bit more expensive on http://www.dhgate.com/productdetail_ff8080811781922001178881ecca6c73_kbXA0IHdhdGNo_c.html
