First Tag Heuer cellphone mockups surface

As we suspected, it looks like Tag Heuer will indeed be joining the ranks of D&G, Prada, Aston Martin, McLaren, and the host of other brands out there who are joining the cellphone craze. Dial-a-Phone is reporting that the forthcoming handset should be "a completely new design," unlike the D&G RAZR which was devoid of originality save for the branding, gold finish, and dangerously high pricetag. Additionally, the Paris-based ModeLabs will indeed be crafting the design, and if all goes as planned, should be launching in undisclosed locales "within a few months." Currently, all they know is that it should be "made of stainless steel" and closely resemble many of Tag's unmistakable timepieces, and while chances are slim that the phone will actually be in a watch, be sure to hit the read link for the first wave of mockups.

I dont' get it. How is that practical at all? How would that be convenient with such a small screen and lack of keypad?

it has a touchscreen.

i couldn't imagine holding a watch up to my face to make a phone call. instead of making a cellphone watch, id think itd be more better if we had a bluetooth watch that accepts the caller id from a cell phone.

My concern would be the battery on the watch itself. Will we be able to charge the stainless steel watch since the battery use will surely surpass that of a regular watch. Will the battery be big enough to last?
