Citizen Bluetooth watch: wrist call display

btwatch_w.jpg

Ever since we saw Seiko's Bluetooth watch prototype, we've been dying for someone to make a watch that would let us play Dick Tracy and take calls our wrists. Well, it looks like this "i:VRT Bluetooth" watch from Citizen isn't quite it. Besides looking like a prop from the original Star Trek, the i:VRT's Bluetooth abilities are limited to providing wrist-based call display. When you get a call, the watch will light up or vibrate, letting you know who's calling from its database of 1,000 contacts imported from your cell phone. It also stores the last 10 callers in its memory. Handy, sure, but for the next model, could you ratchet down the dork factor in the design, Citizen? Wrist call display — in silver or black — can be yours next month for $140.
