    Well that's a little weird. I'm a lot closer to Texas, have no customs to worry about, and ordered mine 3 days sooner. Yet my shipment shows still pending. Go figure.

    Well when I went through the checkout process, things like company name were required for customs purpose, so it did make me wonder if it was coming from Texas. I suspect maybe international orders are shipped from abroad, while domestic orders may be shipped from texas. But who knows, it may all be shipped from timbucktu.

    Well, I am in the UK, just ordered one yesterday and today it was dispatched. Should be delivered tomorrow. Can't wait to see the gadget & understand what I won't until many attempts.

    Hi Guys;

    After all, i received the watch sooner than thought, received today. It was sent on last Monday (11).
    here you can see the tracking.



    I trayed the software, and played a little with the accelerometer, but in this moment i don't have much time to play with it, but it seems nice. It apears that the range of the RF, it's only a few meters, but like i said i only played with it a few minutes!!
    Thanks and Regards;
    Gadelhas

    And it even came from Texas. I guess I need to call about my order....

    Cool, thanks for the info. About the range, here are some range tests that I found on their website. http://focus.ti.com/lit/an/swra169a/swra169a.pdf . It seems like the range should be better than you experienced. But maybe it is just in ideal situations, like no wrist near the watch ... etc.
