I'd like a wrist device that does what my iPhone 4 does, and looks like a Dick Tracy wrist radio. If anyone sees one, can they flag it?
Thanks.

personally, i dont like watches because theyre uncomfortable. i tried to go back to one, but toting a cellphone around 24/7 makes them useless anyway. but thats me.. (unless you really need to use one, like camping and shit..)

Same for me. Didn't wear my watch regularly for a bunch of years. Already got used to pull the cellphone out of my pocket to look at the time.

we are not allowed to wear watches, necklaces, rings or any other type of jewelry... safety first!!

I haven't worn a wrist watch in years.

I can't wear a watch because it pulls my fur. :-[

I don't wear a watch because I couldn't give two shits what time it is, and I think it promotes human interactivity. "Excuse me sir, do you have the time?"

Get lost.

I have a great watch my wife gave me, and I don't wear it for the same reason.

The woman bought be a nice watch thinking that since I didn't have one, I needed one.

The thought that I don't have one because I find them useless and annoying didn't cross her mind. I do bust it out for special occasions but it's only for appearances.

Same goes for rings. Sometimes I wear them but most of the time they are more dangerous than pretty.

The only jewelry I wear is a Tungsten wedding band... only because it is more dangerous for me to NOT wear it. Wife had the inside engraved with the words "PUT IT BACK ON"

Rings are dangerous for mechanic work. My old man tells of a guy who had a finger ripped off by his ring while working on a fighter jet in the Air Force. :shocked:

I saw a picture of a guy who's wedding ring got got in a lathe or something similar, and it spun and ripped the skin off his finger, but left the muscle and bone. It was pretty nasty. I can find the pic if you want to see it (I think).

While climbing out of the cockpit of an F-106 once my ring got caught on the metal at the edge of the cockpit but luckily I wasn't jumping down at the moment. It yanked my finger pretty good just climbing down the ladder but it is still intact. Which is why there is supposed to be no jewelry on the flight line. Well that and FOD.

NO! But feel free to email it to DCS. That is like porn to him.
