In-Store Sightings: Weather In Motion clock with Proximity Sensor

We've finally spotted the Weather In Motion clock with Proximity Sensor at Sharper Image. It did work when we approached - the proximity sensor detected our presence. As we approached the unit, the Weather In Motion switched to showing the indoor and outdoor temperature readings, while the time and weather forecast icons automatically reduced in size. We think the size of the unit and the overall readability is quite good.
