Finally the world's first phone watch, the M500 Cell Watch, has hit the market! The 60g [touch-screen wristwatch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rogbid-fusion) comes with a Blue-tooth wireless headset, eliminating the need for a cell phone entirely. The silver or black devices have all the functions of a regular mobile phone, including SMS.

It comes with an array of function including last number redial, recent/missed calls, a file manager, storage for 199 contacts and e-mail. The device comes with a USB travel adapter, charger, Blue-tooth wireless headset and a spare battery.

The timepiece is one of the newest [all-in-one products on the tech market](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanophone). It plays MP3s, MP4 video files and has a touch screen with built-in stylus.

Apparently big things do come in small packages after all!
