I want one! Of course, there have been many watches with some sort of CPU
for a long time (like the very collectible HP-01 calculator watch). The
Data-Link is the first one I've personally found useful enough to wear,
and it is the only one I personally know of that is user-programmable
(there's even Linux support for downloading WristApps to its 6805).
