    Taken directly from the link you posted.


    Btw, what does it do? It has Bluetooth tech, but no where in the article does it mention what it is used for...syncing time?

    quoted "In our tests, we paired the watch with a Sony Ericsson W910i, a process which took under a minute to fulfill"
    used for syncing/pairing bluetooth devices, the article does mention it being used to change tracks on a mobile and also to answer calls

    Eh, if it's like the past models they've made (which looked better IMO), it only works with Sony phones. Screw that, I haven't seen a decent phone from them in years. You want one of these:

    It's an actual phone built into the watch. You just need a bluetooth headset to complete the package. Quad-band gsm too.

    Looks like a stupid gimmick. Why not just look at the phone screen when you get an incoming call/message???

    Its more of a luxury item.. very expensive .. i would rather buy iPhone rather than this watch + new phone

    my Casio SeaPathfinder with Twin Sensors is way better.. it has Altimeter, Barometer, Depthmeter, thermometer Yacht Race Timer, Dual time (analog + digital) & ya 100 meter WR .. so i can do scuba diving too.

    Check this:
