My current watch, which has memory but not the upload/download feature, is dying and I'd like to upgrade. I frequently use the alarm feature of my existing watch, but find typing in on the miniature keyboard onerous. Moreover, I would like to be able to automatically generate multiple alarm patterns, etc. from email and saved news about meetings I have to go to. Ditto wrt. telephone numbers. I would prefer RS232 upload/download, since that is the lowest common denominator on the machines I have access to. I do not have a PC, but would be willing to hack a PC based system. I am not interested in the BOSS or the WIZARD type machines. I have heard that CASIO had such a watch in the past, but dropped the line. Does anyone know if there are any such watches with upload/download features currently being produced? Or where I can get the old, orphaned, variety? Please email. -- Andy Glew, aglew@uiuc.edu
