I only have two small complaints about the watch

1) It uses 2.5mm headphone connection which is not the standard for
headphones. You will need a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter to use "regular"
ipod/walkman style headphones with it (so be careful with the phones
that come with it!)

2) It only displays the time in 24hour military time format.

Otherwise, it is very neat! :)
