Sony Ericsson MBW-100


The MBW-100 Bluetooth watch, which shares much with its sister Fossil Caller ID watch, allows its wearer to control a number of different aspects of a compatible Bluetooth mobile phone.

The watch includes an analog face for keeping track of the time as well as a blue OLED display and a few controls for dealing with more complicated tasks when used with a compatible Bluetooth phone.
The MBW-100 has one other trick: If your phone's Sony Walkman music player is playing, pressing the otherwise-useless dial on the watch will pause it. Holding down the dial will skip to the next track. The watch doesn't show track information, though.

The complete list of notifications done by the MBW-100 is:
Notify when receiving a message by displaying an envelope icon in the status field and vibrate.
Notify of incoming calls. Name of the caller will be displayed in the watch status field if the caller has an entry in the phone contact list. The caller name is not stored in the watch, but is transferred from the phone during the incoming call. Incoming calls can be muted or rejected by pressing one of the watch keys. If you want to talk to the caller, you will have to pick up the phone of course.
Notify when connection to phone is lost. Again, display an icon and vibrate.
