Gear Diary COOKOO Available at AT&T Store photo

As a guy (and about the farthest thing from a fashion-conscious Metrosexual that you can imagine–I mean, Sami helps me match my pants to my shirts), I have always viewed watches as a functional item.  Yeah, I wanted it to have cool gizmos on it–preferably be some kind of fancy chronograph–but that was my technonerd side talking, not my fashion side.  (I have a Tag Heuer, but it was a bonus from SGI, rather than a personal purchase.  Nice bonus, huh?  It was the 90s!)  So I’ve never really understood the concept of wearing a particular type of watch as a fashion statement rather than as something to use to, oh, I dunno, tell you what time it is.  But there it is:  Watches are fashion.

And on that note, you can now get the COOKOO™ connected watch at AT&T’s flagship store in downtown Chicago. The COOKOO watch”is a connected timepiece that extends smartphone to the wrist to help manage a connected life.

Want to check these babies out?  Go by your local AT&T store, or surf over to the AT&T Online Store; you can also find more details here.  And as always, be sure to let us know what you think below!

Doug is a nerd from way back, falling for a Commodore PET at the age of 15, and never looking back. Riding the nerd wave, he got a Computer Science degree and entered the tech industry at a young age, deciding after a year and a half of front-line phone technical support that he should try something, *anything* else. He settled on technical writing, and has been cranking out documentation for companies like Unisys, SGI, Cisco, Juniper, and many others ever since. He is nothing short of ecstatic to be working for H-P from his home base in Austin.
