Seiko Bluetooth Watch

This is going to be great when it comes out, a watch that has bluetooth and by connecting to your cellphone it displays information about it. What kind of information? Here's a small list:
* Battery condition
* Network signal strength

Now it's the time you ask: that's all it does? Not really, if you install some software into the cellphone you'll be able to see the received SMS's subject and sender. The watch will also vibrate or play a ring tone whenever you get SMS or a call.

There are times when your cellphone is either buried deep in your man-purse, or perhaps wedged in your Emo-jeans pocket, and getting it out to check who’s calling, or reading an SMS is just a pain in the butt. To end your suffering, Seiko Instruments, in Japan, has unveiled a working prototype of a Bluetooth watch.

It will connect to your cellphone and display information such as battery status, network intensity, caller ID, and even display your SMSes. When you get a call, you’ll be able to set the watch to either ring, or vibrate, though there is no headset functionality just yet. Which means that if it’s your significant other calling, you’re still going to have to scramble to get to the phone.

Seiko plans to commercialize this sometime in 2007.
