my guess for the "failure" of wrist computers are the compromise in interface that have to be done.
now if we could have a pocketable system that didnt require us to type on small buttons and read a tiny screen, we are go.
but to do that we most likely have to tap into the nervous system of the body so that we can overlay a keyboard over any surface, or even dictate using thought, and see the result hover in front of us.

Posted by JOSEPH BONGIOVANNI at February 12, 2007 09:32 PMI have a SEIKO UC-3000 model, problem is I damaged
the transmission coil in the waych when changing battery therefore watch does not work.
Is there a way to replace the coil, or is there a specification for coil ie wire size, turns etc.

Posted by Simon at June 26, 2007 12:08 PMThis is really cool. Will have to put it in a story.
Posted by Mercury at July 13, 2008 08:40 AMMy father owned it when it came out (which by definition meant I spent as much time with it as he did). The keypad was never intended to be worn with the watch.

Posted by spriggig at July 14, 2008 05:19 PMFunny. Now we call them cell phones (iPhone) and they don't even attach to our wrist!!! But I'm guessing they're capable of a bit more than the UC-2000.
