CES 2007: Aigo Video Watch
This watch is first on my list of things I want, but can’t buy. It’s a small watch from Aigo that plays MP3s, movies and even has eBook reading capability. I played with it for a few minutes before I even asked if it could tell time. Fortunately, it tells time.
The only catch? You can’t buy it yet (if ever).
It’s pretty obvious why we were clamoring for it when you see the list of features:
- Video player
- E-Book reader
- Digital voice recorder
- Photo and file browser
- Clock interface with time and date dislayed on the same screen.
- MP3 player
- Rechargeable Li-ion battery
It’s the best product that I can’t buy that I’ve seen at CES so far this year. We even asked if we could buy the displays after the show. The few displays at their booth are the only ones that exist, however. They couldn’t sell us their prototypes. This is what I love about CES: I get to play with prototypes and talk to the people who invented them.

Tom,
You’re right. Those watches ARE available for sale now, but I wouldn’t recommend anyone buying them. They use a chip that only shows .smv video files and it’s INCREDIBLY hard to find anything to convert them. A lot of these watches come with converter software, but it is buggy and crashes.
NOT worth the time or money to get them to work.
Best, Laura Moncur
