It seems like I’m always missing an important phone call. I can wait by the phone all day, but then the moment I step two feet away from it, I miss the call. Part of the reason is because I just never seem to hear my phone. If I leave the ringer at a respectable volume, all my calls go unanswered. If I turn the ringer way up, I still manage to miss my calls while at the same time annoying everyone around me with my ridiculous ringtones. It seems like I just can’t win. So what’s the point of even having a cell phone if no one can ever get in touch with me, is a phrase I hear almost every day.
Instead of giving up on answering my phone calls, I decided to give it a go with the Bluetooth Watch (Chinavasion, $56.34). Not only is it a stylin’ and fully functional timepiece, this watch will actually alert you to incoming phone calls. Using Bluetooth technology to sync to your phone, this watch will vibrate when your phone rings and it’ll even tell you who’s calling! Sure, there are other Bluetooth bracelets out there, but that’s all they are, bracelets. Who needs that when you could have your own personal caller ID on your wrist? With an active range of up to 10 meters, you don’t even have to be super close to your phone in order for it to work.
This watch is perfect for when you’re at work. Just picture it: you’re waiting for an important call from your doctor, but you’re not allowed to use your cell while you’re working the sales floor. Just then, your watch vibrates and you see that Dr. Whosit is calling to let you know your test results, so you make up some excuse about running to the bathroom and jet out to take the call. Amazing, right? Now if only it could do something about this rash…
