Japanese Import Watches
Unsurprisingly, I love gadgets -- and Pocket PCs are just one form (a very important one, mind you) of electronics that I use. I've always admired the laptops at Dynamism, and have wondered if there are equivalents for other gadgets. Well, here's a site for Japanese import watches -- TokyoFlash. Some of them look very, very cool and aren't that expensive.

Is it safe to buy from an international company, considering credit card number theft?

Some of them appear to be pretty useless as watches - how do you tell the time on one without hands/digital display - and in the dark?

There shouldn't be a problem. I've never ordered anything from overseas, but I've ordered a ton of stuff from within North America. The biggest problem is what the retailer does with your cc info once they have it. Generally, if the retailer is doing well in their home country and they have few to no complaints, it's probably safe to order from them. Unless it's something that your country has import restrictions or similar on.
HTH!

Well, you can always dispute any charge on your credit card.
Furthermore, if you purchased an item by internet/telephone, that transaction will be considered as MOTO, which put the merchant at significant disadvantage (The issuing bank has the right to reject any transaction without giving any proof).
So, if you are disputing a MOTO transaction, there is a big chance (90%+) that you will get it removed from your card without significant hassle (unless the merchant/vendor really persist on that charge).

Typical American response! Come on you guys you love your credit cards make the most of the protection they give you. There are international companies who'd love your business.

Yes Watch
Check out the "Yes Watch" (terrible name)...The features are very nice: 24-hour hand, sunrise/set, moon phase...Functional and attractive. I'm holding out though 'cause I don't wear a wristwatch (but do wear a fob.)
