We've seen plenty of MP3-playing watches in the last few years but few of them had anything interesting to offer. Samsung's Yepp YP-W3 was an exception, which took the form of a pocket watch and even featured a greyscale LCD. The rest have mostly been chronograph designs with an MP3 player tucked away inside - no display, and only the most basic of controls. Functional, sure, but not much fun.

This one is a little different... and probably the most advanced. The F029 from Aigo has a full color OLED color screen (160×128 pixel resolution), it plays MP3 and WMA audio (including DRM), and it also does MPEG-4 video (Xvid/AVI). A headphone port, playback/navi controls, and mini-USB 2.0 port are located on the sides. Two models will be available, with either 512mb or 1gb of internal memory. No word yet on its battery life, the price, or availability outside of China.
