Fossil to Release new MSP430 based MetaWatch with Bluetooth

Gatesphere found some interesting news to be released at this year’s ESC conference – The Fossil MSP430 Metawatch.

The watch will be available in two platforms:

Analog / digital with two 16×80 white OLED displays

Digital with 96×96 reflective / always on display technology

The watch comes with a CC2560 Bluetooth and an accelerometer module in it and will be open source. SDK and API will also be made available. The watch is set to retail for $200 – a bit pricey for embedded development, considering the TI-Chronos sells for $50 – but a good platform nonetheless. You can order it from the TI eStore May 9 onwards.
