CECT HAS RELEASED a wristwatch-shaped mobile phone device which is controlled by a 1.5in touch screen.
The Watch Mobile is a quad band phone which can play MP3 and MP4 video, has Bluetooth connectivity and a 1.3 MP camera.
The Bluetooth technology means you can make calls in speaker-phone mode without having to bring the watch to your mouth.
The gizmo is also equipped with a radio with an integrated FM receiver and all the usual features you'd expect from a phone.
It's a bit clunky for a watch but looks like it could be a pretty good gadget. In the shops for about $140.40. µ

a wristwatch cellphone
They should have used bluetooth and a regular phone and made a watch that linked to the phone. That way the watch could be smaller and still retain phone functionality. And if you don't want to wear a big silly watch then you're not without a phone. Combine a phone with a bluetooth earpiece and a bluetooth watch so you can see who is calling, scroll through phonebook (or voice dialling of phonebook) etc.
donkeys ages, mostly from southern China. Try "watch phone" on Ebay.
The most popular watch models are these two: M800
