    As a road-warrior, I'm considering buying a bluetooth watch. Not sure if it is worthwhile.
    Anyone have any experience with these gadgets?

    I have seen watches from Sony Ericsson, Fossil, Seiko, Casio

    hafn't had any experience with it, but wats the main advantage of a blue tooth watch?

    from wat i see, is it just to tell whether u got mail or phone call?
    if so, i dn't really see a point... since u'd have all those functions on your phone anyway??

    i can't really see wats there to connect with a watch =/

    There are situation where you expect a very important call, but it is inappropriate to have phone visible. That's where I thought a bluetooth watch come in handy :D

    its limited to what cells it can interface with and for the price, definitely not worth it.

    oh i see...
    now the qn is, does the watch tell u who's calling (number or name, or just let u know fone is ringing)

    assuming u pick it up, can u talk/listen thru the watch? other ppl mite look at u crazily but least they won't know ur on the fone =D

    The watch will show number and/or name of the caller.
    Unfortunately, it only tells you about the call, you can't speak through as phone.
    Nope, it's not a James Bond gadget.

    Hmmm ... guess the purchase must be done in HK ... since it must be much cheaper over there :D

    BTW I heard that the SE and the Fossil are basically the same model. Only the outside is different.
