    I suspect those are for one of the two production models, which are full screen watches. This thing is an end of life prototype that looks like never made itinto production. So no standard apps but I'd say a good amount of hobbyist support for it. Should be fun :-)

    Can it tell me the time in 5 different countries and does it have a calculator?

    Fair play to the OP, this is a bargain. This watch, with its accelerometers will go nicely with the Oculus Rift. Maybe...

    Mine is on the way as well! Most importantly the shipping notification only mentions $49.99 nothing about the original cost.

    Mine is on route too, very excited :-D


    So do we know if it'll do anything besides telling the time straight out of the box?

    I'm guessing it will annoy you straight out of the box!

    Thanks OP, I ordered one. I had a similar watch (Sony MBW-150) and was happy with it until it died suddenly. I was considering getting a Cookoo watch which is 3 times more expensive. Lots of other new smartwatch models will be coming up soon also like Galaxy Gear so this one is a good choice at this price to wait and see...

    is there any truth to the rumour that you can control the space time continuum with this watch?

    Been racking my head. I google it and the only answer that comes up is 'Out Of This World'. Don't recognise that.

    Since it's DHL, they'll charge you directly, and won't have the €6 levy that An Post charges you for the privilege of having them collect tax. It's usually just VAT that's charged, so 23%, or whatever $11.27 works out at on the day (XE says €8.50 today)

    They will either leave a collection attempted notice, or deliver the item and invoice you later.

    There's no mention of the original $199 price on the invoice at the bottom of the Shipped email, so it's doubtful anyone will be stung with customs based on the non-discounted price. Not sure what customs could be on a $50 item, maybe 6 or 7 euro?

    HTC one x and Nexus 4.

    Ideally I'd like it to work on the Nexus, although I've read that it won't out of the box.

    Two days ago and no customs (unless the receptionist paid, I don't know that).

    Simple enough setup actually:

    Download Meta Watch Manager Community Edition,
    Pair the phone and the watch.
    Curse the manufacture for not charging the battery :D
    Done
