(TSE:7762) has developed the world's first wristwatch that can interface with a cellular phone to indicate when a call is being received, a convenience when the owner is in a meeting or on the move. Using the Bluetooth protocol for short-distance wireless communications, the watch vibrates and lights up when a call is received and displays the party's name and number, provided that the data has already been transferred to its memory from the phone. * It also has button operations to put the caller on hold or disconnect. * The watch comes with a charger stand and features a display that can be seen in the dark without a backlight.
