Other advanced features

[alanshere]

I have a collection of both analogue and digital watches but lately, I have been wondering what are some of the features you can also get.

It now occurs to me that some advanced features in digital watches include a compass, calculator and with some unique built-in-mechanism, other watches can even tell your location.

I would be curious to know how much such a watch would cost.

It depends n the exact features you want. The last 10 years or so have seen amazing and new features available on digital watches with companies like Timex and Casio leading the way.

Wow, that is quite a list of features. Having a camera on your watch would be interesting, but would you be able to transfer the pictures anywhere? If not, that feature would be pointless.

I would love to be able to find a watch that has a heart rate monitor on it. That would be great for my work outs.

That is a real platform to make my choices. It occurs to me that the watch landscape is evolving every day and the story will not be the same a decade to come.

What strikes me though is the Video Camera and Player. Can you possibly have this on a wrist watch?

I think watches can do just about anything now a days. As you can see from the other post there are so many features available.

I wonder how much memory does a watch with sounds and music option can store. Another thing that makes me doubtful is the quality of the sound it will make. I need to see one in order for me to believe.

I own a Tissot T-Touch and it offers pretty cool features. It has an altimeter, thermometer, barometer, compass and other cool features...great watch!
