Ok, I have to admit, I’ve always been kind of a sucker for “spy tech.” You know, the James Bond kind of stuff like hidden cameras, laser pens, explosive ducks…that kind of thing. I’m also a firm believer that you can never have too much portable storage. Well, imagine my delight when I ran across this watch, which satisfies both desires at once! I grabbed a 4GB version for myself, which I’m noting is no longer available. Currently, you have the choice of 2GB or waiting for a few months and getting an 8GB. Speaking as a man with very limited pocket space, I like this device. It’s perfectly functional as a watch, of course. It even has little glow in the dark pips on the face and hands for night-time activities. Then, as you’d imagine, it functions perfectly well as a USB drive as well. It tends to be a little bulky for my taste, but then again, I don’t typically like wearing watches, so take that with a grain of salt. Is there anything that sets this apart from any other flash drive? Meh, aside from the fact that it’s hidden in a watch…no, not really. Frankly though, if you’re anything like me, the “hidden in a watch” thing is probably enough to draw you in.
It’s a decent flash drive, but the bulk and the price (in a world where you can now get flash drives that are small enough to hide _under_ your watch) take it down a notch. All things considered, I give it three and a half cogs out of five.
