Tissot launches web watch
loading...
The Swiss watchmakers Tissot have launched a new web-ready wristwatch. The new High T features a touch screen on the watch's dial. This "exclusive tactile technology" allows the wearer of the watch to surf the web with simply a touch. News, weather, sports updates; all are available through this watch.
Tissot have hooked up with MSN to provide the web data. Oddly enough the watch operates on FM radio signals, instead of through the more novel wireless technology. However the watch does provide the wearer with constant local time, in whichever time zone he might be.
The watch will be available in the US this month, but will not be in the UK until 2005. Those who are keen to purchase the watch are left with only one other option: Ebay. Currently there is one High T for sale for $ 600.
