What's missing is what kind of Microcontroller it has. If it has enought RAM you might do even cooler things with that little device. You might, in fact, even have a complete computer on your wristwatch.

Yes, it's a PIC24FJ64GA004 with 64KB of FLASH program memory, 8KB of SRAM, and an external 64KB of EEPROM memory. So it really is a complete computer on your wrist, it can be programmed to whatever you want using the free Microchip C30 compiler.
