Citizen Bluetooth watch, too plain to show off

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 it 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.

Aussie wristphone/watch will come true!

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.
