Making Use of Bluetooth: It's All in the Wrist

Sony Ericsson has updated their line of Bluetooth-enabled watches, which they introduced just eight months ago.

The update comes in the form of three watches, all sporting the model number MBW-150. Dubbed the Music, Executive and Classic Editions (the Classic is pictured here), the watches offer the same features as the original MBW-100: when it's paired to your Bluetooth phone, the watch vibrates when you receive a phone call or text message and displays the caller's number on its face. At the press of a button, you can choose to ignore the call or send it to voice mail. If you have a music phone (and, I presume, the Music Edition watch), you can control the volume and navigate tracks via the watch's controls.

Actually, there's only one new feature in these watches, but for some people it could be a dealmaker: the watch alerts you (more vibrations!) when it loses its signal, making it harder to lose your handset. Look for the MBW-150 in the fourth quarter of this year.
