Now, Bluetooth watches to display caller identity

RICHARDSON: Texas-based company Fossil is convinced that watches can display caller identity. In a partnership with Sony Ericsson, Fossil announced a new line of timepieces that will show who's calling on your phone.

The main advantage is that the system lets users discreetly know who is calling, without having to dig their phone, said Fossil's vice-president of watch technology. He said the person wearing the watch can quickly decide whether to take the call or not.

The system uses the Bluetooth wireless standard to beam caller ID information from select cell phones to a tiny display on the watch face. — AP
