Seiko Bluetooth watch puts your phone on your wrist
Forget those fossilized SPOT watches. If you
want to go all Dick Tracy, check out Seiko's CPC TR-006, a Bluetooth watch that communicates with your cellphone.
Currently just a prototype, the watch can receive text messages from your phone, capture Caller ID data so you know
who's calling, and adjust ringtones. Pair it with a Bluetooth headset, stick your phone in your bag, and you've got a
complete hands-free interface that still gives you access to your phone's main functions.
















Thats pretty awesome.
I second that emotion, #1. I always thought SPOT watches were a stupid idea, but this is actually kinda cool and useful....
I'd like to thank Seiko for making something functional AND good-looking. We usually get one and not the other these days...
engadget should have a 30 day contest to win THIS watch!
I had an idea like this. But this one is way to big.
ok, on second thought, it's a touch on the huge side...follow the link....it looks as big as the phone...
FINALLY! I've been playing with this idea for years and finally someone did it. 'Bout time, as useless/full as it may be. =)
"Star Trek: The Motion Picture" called,
They want Jim's belt buckle back.

I would actually where this!
True, make it the size of a regular watch and it might be more appealing. It is not like you can talk on it.
I have seen beepers smaller that that watch. The nano is even smaller.
I love the idea of having your watch alert you of things happening on your phone. I am always missing things for a little while because my phone is in my bag, jacket pocket, etc...
Now, if they can make it more like a real watch (that thing is huge), and still allow it to act as a BT headset, I'd buy it in a second. I think there would be battery issues though. You would have to add your watch to the daily charging list.

This will be the Heat once it's smaller and waterproof. I've also been waiting for something like this to come along...
They could make it one of those motion watches, where it charges as you move.
Forgot what that is called.
she's a beauty, or at least the standalone photo is, but when you see it on the japanese girl's wrist (follow the links) it looks like it is the fone. for an idea with such promise i really hope they shrink that down to about 4-5 times smaller than the current incarnation.
I really like this new technology. It is great!
Looks nice!

Kinetic :)
absolutely brilliant, i would def. get one of these!
What a waste of time. Add the bluetooth technology to the already popular SPOT watches. Why would the market want to have to wear two different watches in order to accomplish desired functionality. Seiko will lose in the end. They might as well scrap their independent attempt at wrist-top computing and focus their development efforts toward working with MSN Direct. What will Seiko do when our "fossilized" SPOT watches gain bluetooth functionality? I'm guessing they'll piss themselves into oblivion. Peace.
