This is probably one of those posts that has been sent to too many
inappropriate newsgroups, but I didn't know what newsgroups were
appropriate, and these were the ones that seemed closest:
I am looking for a wristwatch with alarms, schedules, phone number
memory, etc., plus the ability to upload/download these data to/from
my home computer.
My current watch, which has memory but not the upload/download
feature, is dying and I'd like to upgrade.
I frequently use the alarm feature of my existing watch, but find
typing in on the miniature keyboard onerous. Moreover, I would like
to be able to automatically generate multiple alarm patterns, etc.
from email and saved news about meetings I have to go to. Ditto wrt.
telephone numbers.
I would prefer RS232 upload/download, since that is the lowest
common denominator on the machines I have access to. I do not have a
PC, but would be willing to hack a PC based system.
I am not interested in the BOSS or the WIZARD type machines.
I have heard that CASIO had such a watch in the past, but dropped the
line.
Does anyone know if there are any such watches with upload/download
features currently being produced? Or where I can get the old,
orphaned, variety?
Please email.
