The Wrist Net watch with MSN Direct receives
information wirelessly, so you’re in the know while on the go. Find
everything from a great new restaurant to the latest news, all at a
glance. Along with a glanceable, seamless connection to your world, there
are tons of watch faces to choose from, for just the look you want. Set-up
is easy: simply charge up, activate your watch online, and set up the
content channels you want. A subscription to MSN Direct--available in top
cities across the U.S. and Canada--is required to take full advantage of
all watch features
MSN Direct uses an atomic clock (an extremely precise timekeeping
device that uses atomic measurement for absolute accuracy) as its time
standard, and broadcasts this time to your watch over local FM radio
waves. You do not need to set the time your watch will automatically
receive the time and remain accurate. If you travel to another time zone,
your watch will update to the correct local time, as long as you are
within an MSN Direct coverage area. If you are outside an MSN Direct
coverage area, you may need to manually set the time on your watch.
Some of the advanced MSN Direct features the phone can do are, get
updates on the stocks you care about, as well as information on the major
high-volume stocks and indices. Get news headlines and the full text of
local, national, international, business, entertainment, sports, health,
and travel news stories. Get the latest weather reports for cities all
over the world. Local city weather information includes current
conditions, a three-day forecast, sunrise and sunset information,
humidity, barometric pressure, and ultraviolet (UV) index.
Currently, both the Net watch and MSN Direct service are only available in
the US and Canada, its hoped that this simple service will expand to other
countries soon.
