Wifi Emitting Wristwatch
Hey Guys, I'm new to this forum, but I have a challenge. Build a wearable wristwatch that has its own WiFi to use with your Ipod or Laptop. If possible make the project cost less than $150 and should be able to be made by almost anyone that wants to (easy as possible). I don't really know how hard this would be, but I look forward to the submissions. The watch should still be functional and the WiFi should be rechargeable by a USB port or solar. Note that range does not have to be great because your device and watch would be literally a foot away. Thanks, Xboxjunkie52

Where would the internet come from? You would need ethernet, 3G, or some other means of connecting said wifi to the internet for it to be useful.

The battery to power it would be too large by itself. This project is not feasible.

You could attach a Verizon MiFi to a watchband, but that would be pretty bulky. (It would also need an expensive monthly data plan.)
