Anyone catch a glimpse of this off CrackBerry? I got the update via Viigo

Looks nifty! not as good looking as the Sony Ericsson analog/digital number with the stainless steel wrist-strap but still snazzy looking

Thought?

My Titanium, radio-controlled, Citizen Skyhawk doesn't have bluetooth but it does set itself to the radio clock in Ft Collins!

I see no market for this.

If your too lazy to even take your BB out of your own holster to check your email, there is a problem.

My 2 cents.. But I suppose their has to be a market for such an item if someone is going to produce right?

I know what you mean. I used to have a chum who kept his mobile stowed away in a number of bags and boxes, so as not to scratch it. He eventually bought a bluetooth headset, only to minimise the times when he would have to touch his phone.

I didn't point out to him that he was touching his bluetooth headset.

Well the BT headset can be for safety while driving and just real convenient talking to someone with have both hands free.

As a motorcyclist, I can see a use for it.
Quick glance at the wrist to determine whether incoming message or phone call is worth pulling off to the side of the road to address it.

I do, however, agree with you. I don't think this product will succeed.

There is indeed a legitimate use for a bluetooth headset, in much the same way that there's obviously a need for a BlackBerry smartphone.

That said, the chum in question was just obsessed with scratches on his mobile. Anyway, it's a while since we talked. He'll undoubtedly have a BB now. In a soft carry case. In a box.

To be honest i do see a market for this however i have to admit it is a specialist market.

For example i work in a call centre and it's a strict policy of no mobiles out at all - even though when your Blackberry is holstered in its leather pocket with the LED indicator going away you can tell when you have a message/call or not however you can hide away your phone no problem and still access your messages, emails & PIN's from your watch

Can't exactly make a policy for not looking at your watch!! I suppose this will more be like an enterprise novelty (Can't take your phone out however can glance at your watch to keep up to date)

I see the point of it - not available in the UK yet

That's pretty rough.. I'd consider finding a new job if my employer was that strict... I have a BlackBerry for many reasons one of those reasons is incase of emergency...

And if all the employees got this watch then you can bet they would re-write policy

Sounds like it's built for busy people. That's me out then Like many others I doubt it'll do well, it'll be one of those products people laugh at when they see someone wearing.

Agreed... until Honda decides that fully implemented Bluetooth is a legitimate option for my bike, I would love to have something like this. It would be handy, as you indicated, to glance at my watch for updates.

Now if Honda would just replace the analog displays with digital ones, and give be Bluetooth and iPod integration, I would be even more thrilled than I am now with my bike. Then I wouldn't bother with a watch such as this.

I worked in a call center with the same issue no phone could even be seen if you had it in a holster you had to remove that and put it in a bag.

As to usefullness of the watch I'd prefer when I'm in a meeting that people glance at a watch over whipping out a phone and looking at the screen. Way to often the temptation to answer over comes people and they end up tapping away on the phone while we are discussing a current project or some such.

:rofl: I'll keep my TAG Carrera, thaaaank you
