Timex Datalink

I was reading through the PCWorld "25 worst tech products of all time" and found the Timex Datalink listed as a "(DIS)Honorable Mention." I actually owned this watch for a while, and for the most part I thought it was really cool. But that is about all it was. It was fun to show people. You could program alarms, meetings, birthdays and some other things in with the software for your computer, then you would tell it to sync, and lines would start to flash on your monitor. You could just hold your watch up near your monitor, and the data would sync over. This was a very cool idea. Innovative cool ideas often have issues. I ended up exchanging one shortly after buying it because it started acting up, I think the battery was actually dieing after only a few weeks use. The second one I returned because I found out you could not do memos in this watch, but you could in another model, that was actually cheaper. Now to be completely fair, it would have been easier to enter the formulas I had to memorize for chemistry into the computer and sync, however I did not have this option on the Datalink. My newer Timex worked splendid. Just remember to turn off the "beep on button press" feature.
