$15,000 Devon Tread 1 Watch Shows its Guts

The devonworks link given by deweycd above gives a much better idea of what it actually looks like on a wrist, but the thing is still a wank.

As to the battery issue, if you can afford to put out 15 grand for a watch you can probably afford to hire someone to charge the battery for you.

[citation][nom]Notbuyinit[/nom]It looks as though there are 5 separate belts on this thing. That means micro processor monitoring of each, and 5 motors to drive them. I am guessing any kinetic/solar/battery option would not be adequate to run this thing for long. That would explain the 2 week run time. As for the price, they are f$%^#g crazy. If you have more money than sense, this is the watch for you.[/citation]Solar or Kinetic added would greatly prolong the time in between charges.

I looks cool, But I can not be bothered to have to recharge my watch ever 14 days or so.
