I have heard of the Timex Datalink and their explaination is a lot more clear: Send important information from your personal computer to the award-winning Timex Data Link Watch ... without wires or cables. In seconds, you can send up to 150 entries (Model 150 only) from the Timex and Microsoft-developed software that's included. The watch sensor reads flashing bars of light on the monitor... that's the data. The Timex Data Link Watch is also a full-function timepiece. It's water-resistant to 100 feet, comes equipped with a three-year battery and the popular Timex Indiglo night-light. There has to be a way to send the information and theirs is a flashing light .. ie bits of data through the visual light spectrum. You have to initiate the download and then put the watch in front of the monitor. The one on the FBN page states that you just put your watch up to the monitor and press the update button. Which update button? On the watch or on a web page? I don't see one on the web page, so is it one the watch? Then, what mechanism are they using to send the bits of data over? Sound, visible light, Infared, radio? To me it is very vague and sounds like hype. IMO. Eric
