MBW-100 Links to your Mobile Phone, Displays Image of Person Calling You!

— October 2, 2006 — Unique
It's Sleek, Stylish and so cool! The MBW-100 released on the 28th September 2006 is a collaboration between Sony Ericsson and Fossil. The watch has an OLED display screen just below the face and when someone calls you, their picture or name appears on the watch. You can choose to click a button on the timepiece and reject or mute the call, allowing you discreet choice and adding a new dimension to your mobile life.

Receive notification of text messages and Control your mobile music from the watch, simply choose to pause, play or skip to the next track. There is also a clever out-of-range function when you are separated from your phone.

Article quote
"It has sleek lines, classic looks, a distinguished presence and represents a first as a mainstream Bluetoothâ„¢ fashion accessory from a mobile phone supplier. Crafted from high quality stainless steel with a silver facia, the analogue watch will go on sale globally during Q4 of 2006 with a guideline retail price of approximately EUR 300."

I love it when a technology company gets together with a fashion brand, what occurs is usually an innovation that is not only cutting edge but beautiful as well, an indispensable and irresistable bonus.


Save time by Leaving your phone in your pocket and wear your MBW-100 with pride!
