Fossil Introduces Caller ID Watches
Everyone’s been there. No matter how vigilant you are, sometimes your cell rings while you’re driving and you have to fumble around to answer it, endangering everyone around you. The person on the other end could be your doctor with bad news, your significant other with good news or the last person on earth you want to talk to. Enter Fossil’s new Caller ID Wristwatch.
Using Bluetooth technology, the watch vibrates and rings when you get a cell phone call and displays the name and number of the caller. You can push one button to send an unwanted call to voice mail, but it will not broadcast the call itself. If you actually want to talk to John Smith, you’ll have to fish out that celly anyway. We still think this is cool because it will come in handy in areas that have banned talking on cell phones while driving, and the looks aren’t half-bad. Reports are the watch will go almost a week without recharging and works with all Sony Ericsson and other specific Bluetooth-enabled phones. The cost for such convenience is $250, and you’ll be able to get your wrist on one — or is that one on your wrist? — in late October.
