A MP3 player you wear like a watch. Because it IS a watch.

Photo via our friends at The Gadgeteer.It was CES 2004 when I saw my first TechnOtunes watch. (The big “O” is part of their name.) TechnOtunes offered six analog, and one digital version of their watch/MP3 player. Each watch came in a very nice presentation display box complete with a window to view the watch and what looked like a brass TechnOtunes logo on the front of the carton. Buttons for volume and fast-forward were on one side the watch, and buttons for “play” and the equalizer were on the other side. There are five EQ settings, but with no display available to see what mode you’re in, you picked the mode by the sound you thought sounded best. The included headset used a special plug, but the watch shipped with an adapter that accepted standard 3.5mm headphones. When plugged into a computer, the watch showed up a removable drive or disk. Mine was the 128MB model, but they also offered a 256MB model. The larger memory watch could hold 28 songs, so I guess mine could hold 14 of my favorites! You added music via drag and drop, using USB 1.1. You can imagine how fast that was! Price: $199 (included free shipping). But it more often sold for $149. The company is no longer around.

I suspect this place sells crap since they use underhanded ways to trap people into going there. I'd never click on a link that someone posted in the comments section to get a free ad. I'm leaving it here as a warning of a place to avoid. www.brandtaker.com
