I really love the idea of making a wrist watch capable of making calls. Even though we’ve been used to carrying cellphone around for many years, but I still feel uncomfortable while having cellphone on me. Some of the worries of carrying cellphone are we have to handle it with care, such as not to forget or misplace it, and also carrying it will put a little extra weight on us, which contributes some uneasiness!
Wrist watch no doubt is my best companion and I will always wear it wherever I go. I’m really eagerly waiting for the release of the M300 tri-band wristwatch, by Aussie SMS Technology, which is likely to be next month. The M300 features a 1-inch screen, 64MB of on-board memory, Bluetooth 2.0 an MP3 and MP4 player, along with 3.33 hours’ talk time and 80 hours standby. It will retail for AUD650 (equivalent to $510/£261). The overseas availability will be in April. Hope there is an online order pretty soon after the local release. The Aussie will proceed for other models after this, such as the M501, made from gold and titanium, likely to be released in June and another business-centric version, M700 in November. Wristphones/watches have been failures by few companies, such as Samsung and DoCoMo in the past few years. I hope the Aussie one will really come true, which I do not have to bring along my cellphone anymore.

[...] This watch is different from the Aussie wrist watch that we’ve seen before. By itself, it cannot make calls. It’s got only Bluetooth functionality for connecting to your cellphone to give you call alerts by vibration. It tells you who’s calling by your cellphone’s caller ID. It will also let you know if you’re away too far from your cellphone. Perhaps, this is another good, which you don’t tend to forget/misplace your phone. It can be charged wirelessly. When fully charged, its battery life can last about 5 days. Available in mid-March (in Japan at least), but no price info yet. [...]

[...] Still remember the Aussie M300 wristwatch that also works as your mobile phone, which we’ve seen couple of months ago? This long-waited piece is now available at Brando online store. Just a refresh for its specs. This watch features quad-band GSM, which should work anywhere in the world. It’s got an 1 inch OLED, 65K Screen. Other than working as a watch and cell phone, it’s also integrated with MP3 player, with a built-in memory of 64MB. It supports Bluetooth A2DP, which allows you to stream tunes to the included headset wirelessly. Other functions included are phone book, built-in speaker and microphone, supports both English and simplified Chinese, but too bad is its SMS capability is only restricted to receiving only. Of course, having only an 1-inch display and no keypad, I don’t think you’re able to type your message on it. [...]

[...] If you always wear a watch, definitely you’d wish that your watch could do more things for you. Such as making phone calls, so you don’t have to carry another gadget, a regular cellphone with you. Wrist or watch phone is nothing new to us. We’ve seen an Aussie wrist phone before. And now, Hyundai has got another one to show to us. The Hyundai W-100 watch phone, although comes with a much smaller size than a regular cellphone, but it doesn’t sacrifice any phone features on its tiny body. [...]
