I have to admit, I am a bit disappointed. My expectations were a bit high, as I ran into the advertising trap "MP4" - I thought it would mean "Mpeg4", but since the video actually is compressed as JPeg, I doubt it is MPeg 4...
However, it does its job beautifully, just as I hoped it would. Once you got the video to the watch(a bit tiring, because of the software needed to encode), it works like a charm. Since the video image has to be small, it doesn't take up much space, so it's no problem to store several movies on it.
Image quality is very nice, even larger than I expected(due to having barely noticeable spaces between pixels), and the sound is as clear as if it were a dedicated MP3 player. The headphones, though, should be replaced immediately. They do their job, but are unwieldy and tend to flatten the sound, IMO.
Pro:
*) A watch being able to play video and music. No more bulky walkman.
*) Looks great in itself, even if you don't play any video on it.
*) 2GB of storage, always handy
*) Crisp image, great sound
*) Easy to use interface
*) Easy file transfer to and from PC
Cons:
*) cheap Headphones
*) SMV format for video
*) uses 2.5MM connector instead of 3.5 and/or mini-USB
*) video image has be square to use full screen
Summary:
Definitely worth the money I paid. I have to say, though, I am thinking about buying a more expensive one that doesn't use the SMV format.
