Two-way wrist radio update

Are you one of those people who carries a cellphone but doesn’t always have it in a conveniently reachable place when it rings? Have no fear, a Bluetooth wristwatch can help.

Next time someone calls you on your cell phone, you can check your watch to find out who’s calling instead of dishing out the handset from your pocket. Sony Ericsson has designed a Bluetooth watch, the MBW-100, that lets you control your mobile phone and answer calls through a wireless head set.

The watch is not as chunky and ugly as other Bluetooth watches available in the market, but features a stainless steel construction with silver facia. A tiny OLED display under the analogue watch face tells you who’s calling you while your mobile is stashed away.

The invention may sound like a lazy way of operating your mobile, but might be very useful in a crowded, noisy place and where you can’t hear your phone or feel it vibrating.

Too bad they didn’t build a speaker right into the watch so you could have the full Dick Tracy experience.
