Actually, I have, for some time. They're not bad, but they're SOOOOO
bulky. I collect vintage watches, and am used to something smaller. :-)
Otherwise, I'd already have one.

If memory serves, there is an application which turns the Palm screen
sideways, already. A minimal amount of recoding, and you'd have an
"upside down" display.
OR, of course, you could use the Palm watch, itself, as a computing
device. It does, after all, have a Motorola 68000 chip, running at 33
MHz, since it's equivalent to a Palm V series machine. I wonder what
it'd be like to use one of those infrared keyboards, with this watch?
After all, your display device would be mounted on a "moving" surface!
