A wrist watch is not what it used to be, mobile phones have slowly finished the need to wear a wrist watch. A wrist watch is definitely on the verge of antiquity unless something extraordinary is injected into it. Many companies have tried to bring the functionality of a mobile phone into a wrist watch and here are some of the examples we came across.
Van Der Led MW2 Watch Phone
This is by far the best looking wrist watch cellphone we have seen. Van Der Led has not added the mobile phone functionality just for the sake of it but they have tried to incorporate the full features of a decent mid range mobile phone into it. The best thing is that they have not compromised with the style of watch and you can actually keep it without appearing a jerk.
Price : $470
CECT Wrist Watch Phone
This mobile phone watch doesn’t look shabby and has quite a few features to save you from keeping a mobile phone. It has GSM connectivity and supports WAP and GPRS to let you browse internet on the go although surfing web is least amusing on mobile phones for that matter. Apple iPhone is an exception. The CECT Wrist is a quad band watch phone which supports 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz bands and it features a 1.3 inch LCD display with 260,000 colors.
The phone’s functions are controlled by the screen which is also a touch screen and it measures 61 x 40 x16mm. It also has an FM Radio and can play video (MP4) and music (MP3) files. It features a built in 1.3 megapixel camera and also bluetooth. You can get with CECT WRIST 100 hours of standby time and 100 minutes of talk time from one charge.
This one is most impressive.
