Agent 007 - Woot. One Day, One Deal Woot
Portable TV Wristwatch with 1.5” LCD
Great big flatscreen television sets are great, but have you ever tried to take one to the game with you to watch replays? Ever try to shove one in your pants pocket for the long bus ride? At best, it ruins the line of your slacks. So here it is: the teeniest-weeniest teevee we’ve seen.
Live out your childhood Dick Tracy fantasies! Take that, Pruneface! Now you’re Pruneface; take that, Dick Tracy! Now you’re Prune Tracy…
Well, anyway.
This dinky wristwatch television boasts a tiny little tuner that was specially designed by Sony and Thin Film Transistor technology for a crisp 280×220 color digital picture on its one-and-a-half-inch screen. It gets both VHF and UHF (the frequency range, not the fantastic “Weird Al” feature film, we’re sorry to say), and the headphones act as an antenna for improved reception. The digital display shows time and date, making this not just your smallest television, but your most gigantic wristwatch, too.
It’ll gamely serve up just one measly hour of viewing on a full charge, but you can triple that by plugging it into its docking station, powered by four AA batteries—not included, natch. The docking station can also plug into AC for unlimited viewing (and to recharge the TV.)
The watch strap comes off, and a neck strap is included. So obviously, you could always just drop it in your bag or pocket. You don’t have to strap it to your wrist. And, in fact, we would recommend you didn’t. This thing doesn’t make a fashion statement so much as it engages in fashion hate speech. Wear it with those MP3 player sunglasses; we triple dog dare you.
This weird little whatsit has actually garnered some pretty good reviews for usability, which some of our forum denizens will undoubtably sniff out. Even engadget liked it; go look!
As a bonus, it makes a hilarious comic prop to have on hand the next time your kid whines “I wanna watch TV!” Oh, man, that will be awesome. We wish we could be flies on your wall for that moment. And not just because your poor housekeeping would provide us with such ample sustenance.
