A watch that was thought to be at the end of its shelf life not 6 months after launch has made it to the UK. The Palm Powered Fossil Watch allows users to keep track of addresses, appointments, memos and more.

The Abacus Wrist PDA will come with customisable watch faces to allow consumers to change their watch face to suit their own personal style and 8 MB memory to storage.

Additional features of the Wrist PDA with Palm OS include a 160 x 160 pixel grayscale LCD with touch screen and backlight, a stylus cleverly integrated into the watch buckle, one-handed navigation using the 3-way Rocker switch and Back button, the ability to beam data to another Palm Powered device via the Infrared Port, USB HotSync support for Mac OS and Windows, and a lithium-ion rechargeable battery that lasts approximately 3-4 days based on conditions of use.

The Abacus Wrist PDA is available now and can purchased online at www.widget.co.uk priced at £69.99.
