You'll notice that the way he got it to work was by directly controlling
the IR port on the watch.   That way he could mimic the RCX protocol.

I'm not sure how useful this will be to you, but the "ruputer" link on
that page indicates that it has been used to control the RCX via TV
remote frequencies. Take a look...

There has been a lot of discussion about IR remote control on this list.
(You should search the archives)  The best that I can remember, the
standard TV remote controls operate using a different communications
protocol than the RCX IR port.   People have tried using the Palm Pilot
remote learner to control the RCX but I don't think anyone has had much
success yet because of these communication differences.

i have got a remote control watch which is similar to CASIO-CMD 40B
(mine is asia version), it has the ability to "learn" from any TV/VCR
remote control. i wonder if i can use my watch to control the RCX
anyhow? at least i think using my watch is cooler than using the LEGO
remote control....

has anyone tried that yet??
