by drew leui on 2007-08-31 10:35:34 |  | well, i just got this today in the mail and have yet to try the video, but for the music its as simple as drag and droping the music files into the music spot in the watch. one major problem though: while music is playing the screen wont turn off. this sounds like a good thing but now theres an imprint of the date if you look closely at the watch. so basically dont leave the music screen up for more than an hour at a time. (anybody that knows how to turn the screen off while listening to music let me know becuase thats a major dissapointment)

They play SMV files rather than NVX, these are around 200mb per hour at top quality. They also view JPG files without conversion and the clock can be switched between 12/24 hour format. The clock can even be left on all the time - But beward OLED screen burn if you do that! (No, I didn't know it existed before, either!)

by Samson on 2007-04-14 00:08:31 |  | Video sizeI've been looking at these things for some time. Other than questionable quality of construction, the OLED screen alone makes it worth the price. The most likely reason for the enormous size of the video files produced by the software is that the video is actually being uncompressed. MP4 is just a container, not a codec. The software is probably using MP4 format to contain a raw YUV or RGB stream - these are essentially a series of sequential bitmaps with no compression at all. The calculations required to decode compressed (i.e. DivX, XviD) audio/video streams would require a lot more processing and therefore dramatically reduce battery life. In other words, it was a choice between fitting in 100+ hours of video that you couldn't watch more than half an hour of on a single charge, or fitting in 2 hours of video that you could watch all of on a single charge.

Pros: Crystal clear screen,Good battery life,amazing voice recorder
Cons:Bad strap,NXV format(video) will eat up the memory
All in all,its a fantastic watch & I'm glad I got one!
