Of the many different and unique audio gadgets that we have the distinct pleasure of reviewing each month, this one really made us stop and think twice. If only they had such awesome devices when we were kids, life would have been a bit different. And seemingly we are always yapping our mouths about popularity of portable MP3 players. But this time we have found the next best thing in portable MP3 players, a wristwatch that plays MP3s, and does a whole lot more! Like recording a few hours of your voice, having an onboard 1-gig hard drive and even tuning into your car stereo so you can play MP3 tracks on the go, all from your wristwatch; simply amazing. And hey James Bond, seems like you need to get yourself one of these hot arm bands!

Novena V1″ 1GB MP3 Player Wrist watch w/ RF Transmitter
This awesome and sleek wristwatch will scream style when you sport its water-resistant escalade to those whom you keep company with. However, don’t be fooled by its classy exterior. The onboard and massive 1-gig hard drive allows you store thousands of MP3 files, or a few hours of your own recorded voice (for lawyers and doctors and those who love the sound of their vocal chords vibrating.) It supports both WMA and MP3 file formats and can easily USB (Via mini-USB to large USB) into your computer, iPod or other device to capture songs. The battery is rechargeable and lasts about 8 hours when fully charged. It’s also got a nifty RF frequency adapter included so you can easily tune into your car stereo and play your favorite tunes while driving, from your watch! With this many features you may expect it to cost a fortune. Wrong. You can get this beauty for about $65.00 online from a variety of merchants.
