This is going to be great when it comes out, a watch that has bluetooth and by connecting to your cellphone it displays information about it. What kind of information? Here's a small list:

• Battery condition


• Network signal strength

Now it's the time you ask: that's all it does? Not really, if you install some software into the cellphone you'll be able to see the received SMS's subject and sender. The watch will also vibrate or play a ring tone whenever you get SMS or a call.

The prototype was showed recently by Seiko, and is suppose to come out in 2007.

One situation where this gadget will be useful, is in countries where it's illegal to drive and use the cellphone at the same time, like the one where I live. Now if only they could implement a microphone in the watch so you could speak from there...
