Full Review
Introduction Microsoft's attempts to get into every nook and cranny of our busy lives have produced some great hits and bad flops over the years. Remember Bob? One of their more recent endeavors is the MSN Direct service (powered by SPOT, also known as Smart Personal Objects Technology), which uses a large ranging network (in metropolitan areas only) based upon FM broadcast signals to reach customers with weather, news, stock quotes, movie times and other information which is perhaps relevant to your life. The device by which this information is delivered is a specialized watch produced in conjunction with well known watch makers such as Swatch, Fossil and Suunto. In this particular review, we shall focus on Fossil's Abacus brand of smart watches, specifically the AU4002. This take on the MSN Direct Smart Watch is currently retailing at $129 and has been in the market since late October of last year. 
The Abacus Smart Watch AU4002 has its antenna in the leather band.
