Not OSHW but IoT nevertheless. Is that price for the whole dev kit or just the watch?

The watch and dongle AFAIK.

Anyone know if software can be developed and loaded from a Mac OS/X - the links say PC?

Not sure about OS X, but would suspect that this is unlikely using the official SDK. I also gather that it uses some proprietary IDE/compiler and that unless you pay for it you at most get access to a crippled (e.g. limited to certain object code size) version. Anyway, there should be details on the TI site somewhere...

There is a community effort to develop an open source SDK which uses a compiler without such restrictions, but I'd imagine that it might not be as fully featured.

Looks as though there is currently no solution to drive one with an RFM12B module via FSK, but have seen mention of the possibility of using OOK (ASK).
