Casio GPR-100 GPS Wristwatch

GPS on a watch?

Been there, done that.

Just check out Timex and Suunto with their extensive stable of GPS watches. Casio used to have one, but this was apparently discontinued.

However, like the enigmatic James Bond, the Japanese never say die. So back to the drawing board Casio went, and the result was the world’s smallest GPS-enabled wristwatch. There is a price to be paid for such miniaturization, naturally.

Don’t expect this to display maps or offer latitude or longitude data on its tiny 49 × 72 full dot LCD screen. Instead, this timepiece was designed for the sporty sort with an, ah, unhealthy obsession for keeping check on the time, speed, mileage and pace of their run.

Like joggers, this thing has stamina for just 2 hours (stretchable to 4.3 hours on low power). If you like your watch to keep watch on you, check out this decent-sized person locator.

US $460.
