Seiko's drum machine wristwatch

We're gonna have to look into why we'd never ever heard of this before, but suddenly life seems meaningful now that we've discovered "Frequency", a retro Nineties wristwatch from Seiko that comes with a built-in beat box. Not that you could, but now you definitely cannot stop the rock.

"Frequency" bad movie, cool watch.

It will be mine...oh yes.

I liked the movie Freakwency. Sure a bit out of reality, but the part where the guy loses his hand because of changes coming form the past.. that was funny as hell.

boooooring. I already have one, got it at the same time i got my ps2, which was when it came out in late '99, or early '00, cant remember cuz it was so f'ing long ago. i thought this blog was about new stuff, not 5 year old pseudo tech.

go to ebay there is one posted for bidding!

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

I want one. Are they sold elsewhere?

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

got one of these..

sold in Londons convent garden at a designer watch shop in 1999.

it either beeps or flashes to a user defined BPM or you can choose to have one of 6 drum beats with or without accents.

you can use the drum machine as an alarm.

the top display (next to the silver bit) is LED and gives you Date or BPM or displays the words TIME whilst the liquid crystal display below does your time and stopwatch things.

completely useless for DJIng but I still wear it occaisionally and it always gets comments.

was �200 new.

mines khaki.....

you will never see its like again.

hope you enjoy the info.

had one, sold it on ebay weeks later. cool concept with poor execution...should have had a mini-jack out and separate buttons for programming drum triggers. no, better yet, it should have just been a wristwatch-sized tr-808.

Ha, I beat you all, I published a web page with data about this watch in 1998.

oops, that url didn't come through, I guess it gets stripped out. Here's my 1998 web page with a pic of this watch:
