CITIZEN to release bluetooth enabled watch… Why?
On July 7th Citizen is to release a new bluetooth watch called the i:VIRT. Apparently it can store up to 1000 contacts and records a list of the last 10 calls you received. All this information is downloaded after synching it with your bluetooth enabled phone. But that’s not all! If you happen to own a mobile phone which has bluetooth, but no vibration or doesn’t ring, this watch also alerts you when you have incoming calls by vibrating and flashing. If you happen to think that all this watch could do was this… well then you’d be right.
Projected to cost around $140, this appears to be pretty useless and unappealing, even for a gadget geek like me. Hopefully at the launch they’ll reveal more features, some of which might sound useful. At the very least the watch should sync its time with the phone, something most of us do manually twice a year due to daylight savings time. With the current specs, would any of you even consider this? What other features would you like to see on a watch with bluetooth?
