decent battery for something that small(18 hours) but pretty expensive

I have an old Siren 4GB… the really ugly spacecraft looking one. It sounds fantastic and it has a real clean interface, so this may be something to look forward to.

Stiff price for the extra gig, but nice package & great feature set! So where to get one in North America? I hate when those Japanese sites dont even have english mail order forms.

The criteria for this list is simple: Be as accurate of a copy of the genuine watch aspossible without modifications or factory parts. I also spread the coverage of the list toinclude as many brands as possible. While some brands are replicated more accurately thanothers, I felt a broader approach was a better example.
