Saw this, and kind of wondering what a perfect CE pro watch would look like. You know ... like if you went to a friend's house and had to fix something right quick.

It needs a laser level and a magnet to hold spare screws.

Needs a digital music player with blue tooth so i can send music wirelessly to the job site radio. And a camera.

No cork screw or useless set of folding pliers?

Is it possible to have the tape come out the other side, for people who wear their watch on their left wrist? Needs a rubber guard, too- even a thin watch is likely to bang on wooden trim, furniture, etc. If it can download firmware updates wirelessly, so a USB cable can be used to load them into equipment, that would be a good thing.

Just change out the ruler for a MAP rack ruler. Done.

Or how about the "Why am I here?" alarm/timer?

I'm thinking if you could extend the strap and give it some LED lights, you could use it for spelunking or crawl-space lunking.

I think it needs a pause button so I can slow things down a little!

Kickstarted this several months ago. Pretty excited about getting it and tying it in to Crestron. How cool will it be to not even have to pull out the phone, just push a hard button on the side of my watch for Home or Away mode? Great for demos too.
Now I just need to learn how to program.

I'd say the best watch would be noon to four pm. Anything else ruins my sleep. edit: no, maybe four to eight with a dinner break in there somewhere.

Just give me one with the "easy" button that works. Should take care of the rest.
