Caller ID Watches

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the pricepoint-will-decide dept.

kbielefe writes "On Thursday, Sony Ericsson and Fossil Inc. announced a line of bluetooth watches that vibrate when a call comes in on your cell phone, display the number of the caller, and allow you to press a button to send the call to voicemail. No more digging around in your pocket or purse before deciding if the call is important enough to interrupt a meeting."

    No, it means that if YOU use this watch...

    Be careful assigning your poor purchase decisions to others.

    According to reports I've heard about this damn thing is that it weighs MORE than an actual phone. Now tell me, why would I want some horrid piece of equipment strapped to my arm that actually weighs MORE than the actual thing? It makes no sense.


    Yeah, you could just take a rubber band and attach your phone to your wrist instead!
