People tend to check their watches many times a day. So they’re already watching their wrist plenty, so why not look there to watch movies and video clips as well?
Actually I could think of plenty of reasons like ergonomics, a tiny screen and likely poor audio just to name a few. However, if you are struck with the desire to purchase a product where you can do just that, you might as well buy one that looks good. This little PMP watch from Epoq has a leather strap and a good looking metal body.
It has a 1.5-inch screen, which I couldn’t imagine watching video on for any period of time. But if you wish to do so, you can watch SMV formatted videos for up to 6 hours on it. It has 2GB of memory, so storage won’t likely be an issue. You can also use it as an MP3 player, which I could see getting used more than the video playback. But in all, I think your $170 might be better spent on a more useful gadget.

it’s difficult enough to watch videos on a phone that’s 2.4-inch in size – I can’t image watching anything this small.
