An MP3 watch? Please. At first it sounds schlocky, but Skullcandy's MacGyver MP3 Watch ($170; www.skullcandy.com) pretty quickly becomes indispensable: backcountry tunes for fastpackers! It stores 256MB, 512MB, or 1GB of tunes or data, all transferred via a slick USB cord that tucks into the strap, and it has a five-setting equalizer and a voice recorder. One tip: When running, secure the headphones wire with an armband or risk serious entanglement.
Now available at the Gear Store in partnership with Altrec.com Performance Clothing and Gear!
