Has anybody heard of or seen a product called the WristMac (or
PC Datagraph). It's a watch by Seiko (model RC-4000) which has a
download capability from a computer (RS-232). If you've seen or heard
of it, do you know who distributes it and how I could get ahold of them?
Thanks in advance,

It appears (from another notes group that the Casio DBX-100 has more memory capacity (100 telephone numbers, 65 scheduled alarms, 61 memos in 3 sets (61 total, 3 categories with user-defined titles) as well as a calculator. The key problem with the Casio is that it doesn't have download capability. The Seiko watch has 3 buttons for text entry (up, down, and advance to next position), and typing into it is possible but not desirable in any large scale (it's not as bad as it sounds though, as the keys auto-repeat in cycling through the alphabet and run in fast mode when not being single- stepped). I assume that most entry will be done from a scheduling program on a computer with only minimal changes made directly into the watch. The screen is 2 lines by 24 characters, and you can get up to 80 entries total of one of the following types: scheduled alarms weekly alarms up to 12 titled sections of arbitrary memos (you select the titles) I've seen memo, phone list, and addresses listed as memo categories. Each type of data including the titled memo sections occupy one of the 80 memories. The watch suffers from a limited amount of memory when compared to the Casio.
