I'm pretty sure that all of us have watched our fair share of spy movies, whether we're talking about blockbusters such as the Bond series, the Mission Impossible movies, “The Saint” or even “Triple X,” and, at least for a few seconds, we wanted to experience that dangerously depicted life of a secret agent. So, it's not really a surprise that any product that could be associated to a covert operation is extremely attractive, and that's exactly the case with the device you're about to see as follows, namely the USB Hidden Flash Drive Watch presented by ThinkGeek.

While this thing won't fool any trained counterintelligence agent, it's indeed a funny product, which will certainly draw some attention. And that's because, besides featuring a very attractive and elegant casing with Japanese quartz movement, luminescent hands and a black polyurethane strap, this device also hides a little something deep within its “bowels.”

Thus, the watch presented by ThinkGeek also incorporates a USB flash drive, which can be easily removed and placed back within a specially-designed slot in the casing, since it measures just around 38 x 13 x 6mm. Furthermore, the flash drive offers just enough space to let you “smuggle” some “secret” data, namely around 4 GB.

Actually, the fact that one can remove the flash drive is what really makes this product interesting, because watches with built-in flash memory modules are not new. However, most previous models required users to connect them to a computer via a USB cable, which made them a lot less “covert.”

It's also very important to mention the fact that the USB Hidden Flash Drive Watch is quite an affordable product, since it retails for around 50 US dollars. After all, this is a pretty small sum to pay for a watch, a USB flash drive, plus the “priceless” feeling of impersonating a secret agent (well, at least in your imagination).
