Re: Fossil wristwatch wearable

From Wear-Hard Mailing list Archive (WH) Maintained by R. Paul McCarty

You would have to make an IrDA to serial adapter, then use a Bluetooth
to serial adapter, but it would just be addressable on the Fossil as a
serial port... but you could probably connect to a phone or laptop
with it.

The USB would be harder since it is slave, not master, so that is
pretty much out.

I have some IrDA dev boards I think still that would do this.. of
course they are about the size of an iPaq, so not much good.. if
anyone wants to try this I can send them to you if I can find them.
