I was hoping they might produce a cheaper one that would interface in with your existing GPS somehow to provide a remote display without all the complexities of inbuilt GPS to allow for stealthy caching. 
Presuming it syncs with GPS time it should be a very accurate time piece

I'm presuming they meant compared to being lost in a forest with no idea where you are, rather than they've solved the under canopy GPS reception problems...You see that as a catch? It is a GPS in the shape of a watch, not a watch with a GPS in it. I actually thought that the battery life was pretty good.quiet1_au wrote:"Battery life is rated at 50 hours in GPS mode or 6 weeks in watch mode." Oh.... I knew there had to be a catch...
Good luck getting 50 hours of battery life out of that setup. Bluetooth sucking down your phone battery and the watch battery. It is rather cool though.Pesky! wrote:

But seriously, there are a couple of open source watches that may be able to be coded to do what you suggest....
the one I have been reading about is the Pebble... bluetooth interface to your android or Iphone, with a programmable apps for the interface....
could be a new market for those clever apps designers amongst us.
here is a link..

they are a lot less than $400.00 too.

I'd like to know where they hide the magnifying glass. Seriously.
