Fossil to exit SPOT market

First they abandoned the long-delayed, much-derided PDA
watch. Now, Fossil is reportedly ditching the SPOT
watch as well. And the only question is likely to be, what took them so long? After all, the watches, and the underlying MSN Direct service, weren't exactly a major success, and the service certainly hasn't been Microsoft's top priority. Of course, if you really want a Fossil SPOT watch, you can probably still get one on the cheap at one of their outlet stores. Otherwise, you can still pick up a Swatch Paparazzi or Suunto n6HR ... at least for now.

Update: Rumors of the Fossil SPOT's death are greatly exaggerated; hey, we said "reportedly" for a reason. Looks like Fossil's still chuggin' along just fine on the SPOT front both with their namesake and Abacus branded devices, so you MSN Direct fans out there can breath a sigh of sweet relief.
