I’m not much of a watch-wearer. It’s a physique thing. My forearms are big, but they taper down into wrists I can wrap my fingers around. It’s not normal, and it makes any wrist-wear look awkward. Yet I very well could wear a watch if it connected via Bluetooth to my BlackBerry. Think about it. You could just glance at your watch to see if you have any new emails, SMS, BBMs, or anything of the sort. I caught this on the BlackBerry OS forum, but apparently Gadgets News wrote it up back in May. How did I miss this one? A picture of the sweet thing after the jump.
So not only is it useful in that it can alert you to messages without you having to check your pocket or belt, but it looks nice to boot. I definitely dig the analog arms. Unfortunately, as BBCool tells us, this is just a mock-up. Damn.
According to the original post, it will allow you to transfer music and video, but I’m not quite sure why you’d want to transfer music or video to your watch. Apparently, RIM is working on a Bluetooth headset to go along with it.
Obviously there’s no price or target release date for this yet. It would be perfect, simply perfect for the holidays, though.

I think this is the new SonyEricsson watch photoshoped for RIM.
Here is a link just in case

I think it would be cool only if it would access GPS and google maps. Otherwise why would I replace my current Tissot T-touch watch. If all it does is indicate when I have messages and such, I don’t think its worth it for the battery drain of having my bluetooth on all the time. As it is I only turn it on when I’m using my headset to listen Pandora while cycling.

Bill’s right. I’ve had the SE watch shown in the picture since the end of 2006.
This looks like a waste of money. It’s just another screen for the BlackBerry you already have! If your going to get a smartwatch, you should just get the real thing. Watchphones are already out there that not only have texting but also are actual phones. With all the bells & whistles of smartphones. This site sells them for under $300 : http://www.3gwatches.com … And you don’t need an additional phone to use them. They take a SIM card like any other phone.
