There are no reception problems that I've experienced during the day.. although a couple of mornings at around 6:30AM the weather didn't show. I wouldn't count on the reception/watch to save my life but it has not missed a beat and I've had it for 4 months.

Would I buy it again? Absolutely!! (I heard from a reliable source that Microsoft is putting a ton of money to make it even better and new channels will be offered)

For me the just the outlook sync is worth the money cause we have different buildings and finding where the meetings are when you're not at your desk is priceless.

You could check reception for your area at direct.msn.com great coverage in metro areas, so so in rural areas.

MS is invested in this technology and is passionate about growing it.

Yes, the Outlook synch is awesome and very seamless. It is my killer app for the device.

So Isa, Is there such a thing as a "chick magnet" watch?

not trying to speak for isa, but i'd suspect the rolex 'presidential' with diamond bezel comes as close as any, paul.

For the knowledgeable chick:
A Patek Nautilus or a golden elipse or a vintage Omega, Rolex or Longines. Frank Mueller is also good.
But would you really want the kind of girl who's attracted to you because of your watch on your arm?
The watches I think look best on a man are a basic s/s Omega Speedmaster or gold Rolex submariner for sports watches and a vintage tank style as a dress watch.

Thanks Isa...think I have the girl part covered, for the last few decades anyway.
Watches? I got bored with my old Seiko...it just refused to die. But I recently replaced it with a black faced Hamilton Khaki King with a black leather strap. Military style "field" watch, I guess you could call it. The few times I want to get dressy I still have a 1940's vintage gold Lord Elgin tank style... Oh,and for measuring lap times? A cheap Timex chrono does that job as well as a Rolodex Daytona...

I like the Hamilton Khaki style. The Elgin is cool!
I actually think your timex does a better job than a daytona, and have you ever tried reading a daytona quickly ?
