Excellent idea. Really quite good. In fact, I was using one of these
until Y2K hit (a 20 year old watch -- not Y2K compliant) and it became
impossible to set. It'll run fine for the next year, till the batteries
go dead
and I can't use it anymore. :-(
The keypad could be used with a simple matrix -- that's all that most
keyboards are, anyway. You'd need to do some work to interface
it -- but there are people on this list who could do that in "no time."
Unfortunately, I'm not one of them.

There's a photographer's vest / jacket which would serve the same
purpose. LOTS of big pockets, and room for almost anything.
Thought I'd mention something I saw for sale today -- it's a "fanny
pack" encased walkman radio. Since it's designed to hug the body
and not bounce around, it's designed very much like a wearable
computer would be.
An interesting introduction to the new world of wearables, huh?
