I saw this today. All I can think of when I see a watch with some sort of communications device built in is Knight Rider. Now you too can be Michael Knight! These would probably be pretty cool if the idea didn't come from an 80's TV show. I wonder what other made up things from 80's TV shows will be available as consumer products. Perhaps a talking Trans Am? Or a cool red light that goes back and forth that you can put on the front of your car? (That would be cool actually.) When I was a kid, every time I saw a black Trans Am, I had to look at the front for the red light just to make sure that it wasn't the Knight Rider car. Every time I was so disappointed. "How many black Trans Ams can there be?" I wondered. Apparently, there are many. Now that I think about it, what purpose did that red light serve? It was pretty cool though. I guess that was the purpose.

Since I'm talking about Knight Rider, the pilot episode had the main character being played by a different actor and then he got shot or something. Then they change his face with plastic surgery so that he looks like David Hasselhoff and give him the name Michael Knight. No problem except a few years later they introduced Michael Knight's evil twin, Garth, who also is played by David Hasselhoff except he has a goatee. So did his evil twin brother have plastic surgery too or was he a fraternal twin and they used him as a model to make the face of Michael Knight? You got to love the simplicity of 80's TV.
