I think so, and I predict they're going to make a big come-back. I'm heading it off. Just ordered this little guy.

I wonder if the Nintendo watches will make a comeback? I always liked the Donkey Kong one.

The thin, plastic kind from the 80s? Or the new thick, foamy/rubber kind now?

In middle school my friend went to France and came back with a watch that had the "Parachute" game built into it. The same game they have on the iPod. He could play it in class because if the teacher saw him he would just tell her he was resetting his watch. She eventually came to the conclusion he had some unnatural obsession with resetting his watch.
Until it broke, he was so cool.

I want to live life to the fullest TOOOOOO! Transform me!!! Still... I'm holding out for the slide ruler watch with matching pocket protector. THEN I will be the envy of all cool people and chicks will dig me like never before.

My dad had one at his work that had a burning building on one sid, then babies would be falling out of the building. You had 2 firemen with a blanket or something and you had to bounce the babies to the other side of the screen to a non-burning building.
Looking back on it... that was a pretty sick game.

So you were cool, but now you're not... but you can be cool again: Help me bring back the calculator watch.
Think about it. Soon I will be able to multiply and divide 8 digit numbers while sitting on the toilet.

Why would you want to do that?  Calculating the veloscity of your poop?

I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

Bill Gates/DICK Tracy phone/TV/computer/calculator/room freshener/flashlight jobs
made so popular by losers.

Only if it looks like a watch and I can strap it to my wrist.
Anyway, what's happened to the "watch computer"? In the 50s and 60s, wasn't that meant to be what people of the future would have? TV/Computer watches?
Look at the new Shuffle. One day, there will be a 1,000-GB Mac with a wrist-watch-type design. What about the screen? That's the beauty part. The screen will be built into a pair of contact lenses, and the cursor and whatnot will be controlled by "psychokinesis".
Think about it. It means you'll be able to sit at work, apparently staring into space, while actually checking your e-mail.
