The Citizen W700 Bluetooth simply looks too plain for you to show off to your friends. Its plain looking simply reminds me some of the watches that kids always got from their moms, which moms got as gifts from buying cooking oils. The watch does a little good for those who always wears a wrist watch. No matter you’re too lazy to take out your phone from your pocket or just simply leave it in your drawer, then you can just look at this watch on your wrist for any incoming calls.
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.

[...] I agree this watch simply looks cheap. By judging at its look, I’d say that it’s some kind of watch that would normally go attached as gift when buying cooking oil. But, its internal is such a sophisticated one that you wouldn’t expect at all from its outer look. It’s not meant for telling time only. It’s also a universal infrared remote control for your TVS or DVD players and equipped with touch screen for ease of operation. It’s compatible with most popular brands of TVs and DVD players. The screen of this watch is pretty small, which could give you little hard time if you wanna use your fingertip to turn on and off of its buttons on the touch-screen interface. Perhaps, for ladies who have slim fingers that would be much easier. Or else I’d just suggest simply pick up a pen or a stylus to do that, so you won’t miss some of the favorite parts when you’re in a rush to switch back channels. The watch also includes the common features found on watches, such as electroluminescent backlighting for use in dark rooms, clock, alarm clock and calendar etc. To my surprise is its price is definitely telling you that it’s a cheap watch, which costs only $6.24. It’s definitely worth having, and you can always stay as the winner while fighting for channels in front of the TV. [...]
