#5This reminds me of feelSpace[1]. It is a belt which has vibrating motors all around it and a compass. I believe the point is to give you an extra "sense" which after you have worn it enough you incorporate with your other senses.

#6Wow... I've been having this idea for a watch for a while.. someone with the hardware knowledge pulled it off. Did the creators try having a short vibration for five minutes and than a longer vibration for an hour?

#7I love stuff like this. I've been doing some of my own work around this idea by measuring the time it takes me to do certain everyday tasks.
My morning routine is about 15 minutes. So is going to the coffee cart on the corner for coffee and a doughnut. However, I often perceive and think about the latter as taking much longer.

#8Interesting thought. Reminds me of when people around me had an hourly chime on their watch... Usually inadvertently.
I'm downloading a interval timer app to test it out. My guess is that it will drive me nuts soon.
Edit: I didn't find any good options free for ios yet. "Wake me up" works well, but not in the background.

#9The idea might be good, but the price is extravagant. I think the parts should cost only $60-70, maybe less, so charging nearly $148 is laughable. Especially when I can get a nice, brand-name watch for $118 or so.

Apples and oranges comparison: this is not a watch in the traditional sense. It's more analogous to a timer. In any case, it's a completely new product which means there probably aren't many efficiencies of manufacturing like there would be with watches.
