Some of the most notable designs included:

wristguy_fashion showThe Charmed Badge-- Designed initially for the conventioneer who loves the Internet and hates human interaction. Who wants to go through the germ-swapping task of shaking hands and exchanging business cards? Soon you'll be able to avoid cooties. Simply press a button on the Charmed Badge and information is automatically swapped. You never even have to talk.

Charmed Connected Jewelry-- Discreetly dictate email messages through your necklace. Receive urgent messages through a pin. Access voicemail through a bracelet. Will these ever work in their current size and design? We'll soon see. But that reminds me of candy necklaces. Remember when you could eat your jewelry? Wonder if there was ever a prototype for the candy necklace? It was probably made out of plastic. Probably touting the same line "Well, if all goes well, and the R&D department is on schedule, in two years they'll actually be able to put some candy on it."

Except for pre-existing devices like the Palm IIIs that were simply strapped to a model's wrist, all of these designs were at best at prototype stage. I hope they can maintain their sleek look once the plastic model includes some actual circuitry.
