The latest iPod Nanos can be worn as a watch, too. Not sure if they have any connectivity or if they do anything other than music + time, though.
Hadn't occurred to me to wonder about the screen. I imagine the Nano gets washed out in sunlight, like every other LCD. What's the display technology on this WIMM device? I can't find any information on it.
Conceptually I like it. With bluetooth, it should be able to become an extension of your phone. So it doesn't store music -- your phone does, and it accesses your phone. Pair it with a bluetooth headset and you could have your phone in your pocket, get a call, check your watch to see who's calling and then answer it with your headset if you want to. You'll still want to drag out the phone for text messaging and reading emails but the watch interface can tell you there's a new message waiting.
Don't think I'd pay $200 for it, but I like the concept.
