>>Hi Elaine
I think the iPhone with Siri can do a lot of what you want.
Any wrist-worn device would have to be connected to the cloud or a remote speech-to-text service as the conversion can not jet be done on an isolated portable device.
There are certainly a lot of devices that serve as reminders including voice recorders starting at $25.
But to remember many day's worth of events, there would have to be a system of classifying the info. For example, there might be a database of what you wore every day, another for what you ate every day, another for what you bought recently, etc, etc, etc, etc.
But imagine a voice system where you would generate tweets to yourself and have your device search for a particular item by date, time, or topic.
Another system could rely on images that you take and identify during the day. The SenseCam is worn around the neck and takes periodic photos as you walk around your day.
