My eyes....are.....bleeding.....
make the ugliness.... stop.....
actually its not that ugly. it can replace my old casio calculator watch.
wow sports genius.
it's a genius, not necessarily desirable to the human eye
The screen's in the wrong position isn't it? The black border is totally uneven. It's a pity that things with nice tech in them have to be SO UGLY.
Theft-proof though, that's good, especially in certain parts/cities of the world :)
In fact this might convince people you are not worth mugging for anything!
It kinda looks like one of those watches you used to get in your Happy Meal.
Wow, Just wow.
That thing redefines ugly!
Just in case you were wondering where this abomination lives ;]

i think i'd rather stick a pda on my arm, maybe one with built in gps. at least its more useful then
It's not ugly if you looking for ways to spruce up your GI Joe costume.
This completes my 80s style Masters of the Universe costume, complete with disgustingly moist looking plastic.
Features are quite interesting, though.
Too bad for it, since everyone knows any gadget is useless if it looks like crap.
Why are these types of watches always so frickin ugly?
Function over form, on this, the day of my daughter's wedding?
The watch is ugly - this means there's a small chip that supposedly handles all these functions, made cheaply. Someone will find a way to hack that chip into something better.
It's not THAT bad. It's teckie-looking. I'd wear it, and I'm a GIRL :)
omg r u rly a grl?
Uh, yeah. The Chinese folks can put hardware together for sure, but they can't design worth crap.
Well.
Using GPS to view nearby friends.
NOO!!!! hell no! It was my idea! Not by a watch of course, but simply via a GPS phone and a client program that runs on either java or symbian.,
Wel, they stole it. Anyway, Nice idea.
It's obviously not something you'd wear to any kind of social event but if you're going hiking or biking or something it doesn't really matter how big or ugly it is...
This reminds me of the Codec of the older Metal Gear games..
paint it gold, silver or a flourescent rainbow of colors and jack up the price; hipsters would be all over this
if only the words 'sports genius' were not painted, that ruined it, rest its worth a look
