Speaking and listening through it may be convenient sometimes, but it'd probably be more practical without those options.

But on the other hand, maybe that's being a little too connected to the outside world? Do I really need to catch every single phone call? My wife who always seems to call me when I'm conveniently away from my phone would probably say yes.]]>Feb 26th 2009 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/lcd-bluetooth-vibrating-bracelet-is-a-watch-short-of-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/lcd-bluetooth-vibrating-bracelet-is-a-watch-short-of-awesome/Feb 26th 2009 6:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/lcd-bluetooth-vibrating-bracelet-is-a-watch-short-of-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/lcd-bluetooth-vibrating-bracelet-is-a-watch-short-of-awesome/
This thing is much wider than necessary, with 2/5 the width only used for the "BLUETOOTH" label. It should be narrower, without the unecessary label, and display the time/date (updated from the phone) when a status message isn't needed.

And that's to try to justify the thing's existance at all. All the thing does is vibrate and show caller ID; you can't actually answer the call with it or anything, though it would seem adding a 3/32" jack or speaker/mic would have been simple enough.

My preference would be for this to have the mic, but to use an earpiece for the speaker. (A 3/32" earpiece jack could come off the watch, or the watch could come with a BT earwig) That would give the espionage look, talking into your watch, and with much clearer sound than the little mic next to your ear. And the earwig could dock with the watch for charging, either to save a USB port or between full charges, since the watch has more room for a larger battery.

THAT might be worth the $50 - stainless watch with time/date/BT microphone/vibrate alert/Caller ID and a BT earwig.]]>Feb 26th 2009 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/lcd-bluetooth-vibrating-bracelet-is-a-watch-short-of-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/lcd-bluetooth-vibrating-bracelet-is-a-watch-short-of-awesome/Feb 26th 2009 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/lcd-bluetooth-vibrating-bracelet-is-a-watch-short-of-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/lcd-bluetooth-vibrating-bracelet-is-a-watch-short-of-awesome/
I'll keep an eye on this one and wait on improvements. So many cheap LCD digital watches out there so why didn't Brando integrate it on this one. I do hope they remove the word bluetooth in the future.

I like the speakerphone bracelet more than this bluetooth bracelet that you guys showed before.

It'd be more awesome to see a Tokyo Flash integration too! Or better yet, wait till Tokyo Flash watches make a bluetooth watch!]]>Feb 26th 2009 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/lcd-bluetooth-vibrating-bracelet-is-a-watch-short-of-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/lcd-bluetooth-vibrating-bracelet-is-a-watch-short-of-awesome/Feb 26th 2009 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/lcd-bluetooth-vibrating-bracelet-is-a-watch-short-of-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/lcd-bluetooth-vibrating-bracelet-is-a-watch-short-of-awesome/Feb 26th 2009 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/lcd-bluetooth-vibrating-bracelet-is-a-watch-short-of-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/lcd-bluetooth-vibrating-bracelet-is-a-watch-short-of-awesome/Feb 26th 2009 3:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/lcd-bluetooth-vibrating-bracelet-is-a-watch-short-of-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/lcd-bluetooth-vibrating-bracelet-is-a-watch-short-of-awesome/Feb 26th 2009 5:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/lcd-bluetooth-vibrating-bracelet-is-a-watch-short-of-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/lcd-bluetooth-vibrating-bracelet-is-a-watch-short-of-awesome/http://www.tootoo.com/d-rp12946035-Bluetooth_Watch_Cw_Bw01_/

Not as cool looking and no indication if you could buy it or what it would cost...but it tells the time and has bluetooth, etc. Features OLED display and it's waterproof.
