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."

    There was a story about people (even perhaps the Commander in Chief) wiring something in their teeth for surreptitious voice communications. This is much more discrete than some doofy watch!

  2. I don't wear watches. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I don't have a blue tooth enabled phone. So what good does this do me? Nothing. That's what.

    ...unless you're a self-important asshole with no consideration for the other attendees. Better solutions are to keep your meetings really short, or schedule breaks.
