Will Santa find a SPOT ? We reported about Microsoft smart connected Device Technology SPOT (Smart Personal Objects Technology) back in January 2003. In March we posted a comprehensive list of SPOT Watches from Citizen, SUUNTO and Fossil.

Fossil has now a full fledged product page for its SPOT Watch and has set a price. They also updated the look of the watch from the first version.

The Fossil Microsoft Wrist Net is set to sell for $199.00. Their is no buy button yet and no dates on when this watch will start shipping. Fossil already had to postpone their PDA Wrist Watch, they sure will not prematurely announce this one.

The Fossil Microsoft Wrist Net enables users to receive News updates, instant messages and weather information via the Microsoft MSNDirect service. The user will be able to choose and customize information channels.
