So, what's so special about this watch? Lots. To start with the wristwatch works like an extension of the cellphone and displays Caller ID, out of range warnings and will even allow you to control the mobile phone music player functions like play, pause etc with buttons on the watch via Bluetooth. Don't want to an incoming call, just press a button on the watch to reject the caller or press another to mute the ring. Want to know if you received an SMS? Just look at your watch.
The watch would be compatible with Sony Ericsson K610, K610i, K618, K790, K800, V630, W710, W850, Z610, Z710 range of mobile phones and has an OLED display with a stainless steel casing for rugged use. Though actual battery times might vary in real world usage, Sony Ericsson at the moment claims 7 days with bluetooth functionality 'ON', which we think is quite considerable.
Called the MBW-100, the bluetooth watch is expected to available by the end of the year for around EUR 300. We might give it a pass, but what do you guys think, would you buy one?
