It fits on your wrist and displays the time and date, unroll it and you have a fully functional MP4 video player.

The cool part about this concept is that it doesn’t use any batteries instead it is powered by kinetic energy.

This is pretty amazing and I like the no battery angle.

Of course we all like the no battery angle. But let’s face the truth – we’re staring at a power hungry device which uses an LCD screen of sorts, plays videos, and music too. I don’t believe Kinetic energy is gonna power this bad boy.

How will they deal with different wrist sizes I wonder, great concept though.

cool…stylish…but how much is it?

Even watches that are powered by kinetic energy need batteries to store the energy produced.

typo makes this post unprofessional.

Love the idea; however, like someone already pointed out, it’s near impossible (with current technology anyway). The no battery is obvious and another thing, how are you supposed to produce the large amounts of kinetic energy? (I’m thinking of the ad “Diamond Gen IV – Rechargeable No Battery LED Shake Flashlight”) It makes me laugh thinking there is someone shaking his wrist every 90s or so.
