The eZ430-Chronos is a highly integrated, wearable wireless development system based for the CC430 in a sports watch. It may be used as a reference platform for watch systems, a personal display for personal area networks, or as a wireless sensor node for remote data collection.

Based on the CC430F6137 sub 1 GHz RF SoC, the eZ430-Chronos is a complete CC430-based development system contained in a watch. This tool features a 96 segment LCD display and provides an integrated pressure sensor and 3-axis accelerometer for motion sensitive control. The integrated wireless feature allows the Chronos to act as a central hub for nearby wireless sensors such as pedometers and heart rate monitors. The eZ430-Chronos offers temperature and battery voltage measurement and is complete with a USB-based CC1111 wireless interface to a PC.

Key Features:
– Wearable development tool
– Internal CC430 memory available for data storage
– Integrated 3-axis accelerometer for motion sensitive control
– USB-RF access point for PC communication and automation
– Low cost system at $49
– Integrated pressure sensor for altitude measurement

    Or even more awesome – use a Duemilanove as an access point to services such as Pachube :-)

    Hooking this up to an Arduino board would be awesome! Wonder if the wireless module could be hooked up to a Duemilanove to send/receive data – could use it as an access point for looking up data online, reviewing data from sensors connected up to the board etc. I think the USB module includes a USB->Serial IC (possibly MAX3221 style) – if its doing that could possibly bypass it and connect it straight to the serial interface on the Duemilanove baord.

    it CAN communicate with other chronos watches. it’s fully reprogrammable so it can pair with anything with a compatible radio.

    so it can’t communicate with other chronos watch devices?

    that’s disappointing.
