I’ve seen three things this week in various places that make me scratch my head and wonder “why?”

First, there’s the picture watch. One of my coworkers got one for Christmas and she’s proudly showing it to everyone. It’s the size of a Volkswagon and takes up half her arm. It looks ridiculous and the “pictures” are of limited quality and certainly stunted in visual appeal by how small they have to be to fit on the watch. I’m saying no to that one.

Next, there’s the Wrap 920AV television watching sunglasses. New optical technology allows video display on the glasses while not simultaneously obscuring your vision. I wonder if it’s DTV compatible? If texting while walking is dangerous, what is TV-watching while walking? I’m going to pass on this one, too.

Last, how about a video watch, ala Dick Tracy? Yup, LG is debuting one at CES this week that is supposed to allow you to send video mail via a tiny camera built into it, and viewing of incoming video shows up on a one and one-quarter inch screen. Oh, and it’s waterproof, so now you’ll not have to stop communicating with people just because you’re in the shower. Hmmm. PASS.

What “Just Say No” gadgets have you seen lately? I can’t be at CES to see much of this in person, but I’m enjoying the reports coming out of Vegas about some of the new gadgets.
