Geez, watches are such boring, pedestrian things; I mean, they just tell time, don’t they?
Of course, the geeky thing to do would be to replace it with one of the new SPOT wireless watches, which give you weather, news headlines, calendar reminders, etc. via MSN. Because the content for such watches is limited at this time, many will wait before dumping their old-fashioned timepieces (and pay $10 a month for a subscription to a watch).
But SpotStop.com points to an advertisement from watch-maker Fossil and MSN that suggests possible future content.
Next up, for sure, for SPOT watches will be sports scores (can’t wait, huh?). Other content coming soon: traffic conditions and alerts; a dining guide (to nearby restaurants); a movie time / location finder; and “daily diversions” (horoscopes, lottery numbers, words of the day, etc.).
