SII (Seiko Instruments) in Japan has done a prototype of their bluetooth watch for mobile phone users. The bluetooth watch can connect to mobile phone and display important information on the watch. This is not the first time that SII announced their prototype bluetooth watch. As early as year 2001 they have already publish some photos of the bluetooth watch and the product just went dead quitely. Now they are finally showing a working prototype in Japan.

The watch will display information like battery condition, new message and network signal strength. To display received sms subject and sender, a software from Seiko Instruments need to be installed to the mobile phone before the bluetooth watch can start display the text.

When you receive a call or sms, the bluetooth watch can play a preset ringtone and even vibrate. The features listed are good enough for a watch, but it will be even better if the bluetooth watch can work as a "headset".
