Everyone's a Critic

Geez. You know, forget the fact that Microsoft was able to fit an FM radio antenna and hardware, and advanced LCD display, and an UltraCompact .NET Framework onto a watch, Gary Krakow's biggest beef is that he thinks the watch models are ugly. Gosh dude, if that's your only beef, then I think we have a real winner here. I bet if you took the word “Sunnto” off the front and replaced it with “Rolex” he would probably think it wasn't so ugly. Personally, I like Sunnto's Copper/Slate look. I think it would go well with most any attire.

Hey Microsoft... how can I hook into the system to be a watch content provider? Can anyone say Compact RSS? I won't buy a MSN Direct watch till I can get RSS feeds on it.

  • awww, c'mon Robert - the bottom line with consumer products is: Ugly does not sell.

    Those things are nerd ID's if I've ever seen them. (Reminds me of the calculator watches of the 80's)

    Put it into a nice polished steel case / band and make the lcd blue or red or something and they'll sell tons...
