Gadget mavens at Brando are at it again, and they now bring us the next iteration of the MP4 Watch. Simply known as the MP4 Watch II, this timepiece not only lets you know what hour of the day it is, it also provides entertainment on the go just in case your iPod Video or other portable media player runs out of juice during a long road trip. Let’s jump in and delve into what exactly this watch on steroids offer - don’t worry, it does not come with any sort of fancy phone function, so you can still keep your top of the line cellphone at the moment to keep in touch with friends and family.

It does look rather huge at first glance - definitely much larger than the standard wristwatch. After all, you have to cram in a 1.8″ LCD display. Check out the features below:

It comes in only one color - black, so if you detest that color, tough luck for you. The 2GB and 4GB versions retail for $92 and $118 respectively. It would be nice to see a microSD memory card slot thrown into the fray for good measure, but I suppose having up to 4GB of additional storage space should tide you over until you reach your destination where you can charge up the iPod.
