It would be helpful to have a button to press to turn it off, when not in use i think, if that hasnt been thought of previously, Just wondering about the power consumption if the bluetooth is on constantly?

I use an old pocket watch as my everyday watch and 4,5cm is an ideal size. As for it's functionalities, bluetooth is very nice for signalling an incoming sms or call via vibration and display. I'm not sure if a speaker would be usefull, but maybe just a twitter emitting small bips. I can't wait to get my hands on one ! This watch is indubitably a must have !

My phone's vibrate is extremely weak, and i sometimes fail to feel it when i get a call or text, so the bluetooth would be useful in that sense I love the design, the sleek face and classic silver design really work well together, bringing an old form of checking the time up to date. the colourful LED display also works well, bringing vibrant colour into the design. About the size of the watch, it shouldnt be too big, maybe a 4/5cm diameter? Give or take a bit. Also, im not too sure about having a speaker in. Depending if you want a good quality one for music playing, or a small one for say a ring tone, it might compromise the size of the watch. I for one would love to buy this item should it be made.

I'm not sure whether or not I'd use the headphone jack for mp3s, as I might just plug my headphones directly into my phone just as easily, but the lightup call indicator and microphone are brilliant and a prime selling point, to me (maybe a speaker as well?). Also the silver and black, simple, sleek, geometric design -- which I think is missing from a lot of the watches since the passing of the Oberon. : ( Perhaps it should be offered in both pocketwatch and wristwatch models -- I'd be even more likely to buy it with a nice black leather strap! : ) I think it’s the best part of the watch, other than the design.

I agree with epic in that the appeal of this watch to me is to use it as a pocket watch, and I don't see myself using it to talk into or plug headphones into. I don't think that the Bluetooth is completely useless, I like how it would notify me of incoming/missed calls and sms.

All of the initial comments have been around the design combining modern tokyo flash LED design with the vintage pocket watch. I do not see myself talking in to the device with the built in microphone, or plugging in headphones. We all have iPods or iPhones, etc with a huge arrangement of accessories today. I would imagine the appeal is to wear the watch as a normal pocket watch, which puts it out of convenience for picking up calls or controlling an mp3 device. I would rather increase the quality and focus to the chain, case, and LED design. Any other thoughts? I honestly do not see much value in the bluetooth functionality for this watch.

It seems it can only recognize a limited number of Bluetooth protocols and I would just want to verify that it would indeed be fully functional with the iPhone. Just a concern I know some people would have. Thank you for your time. Yes it does have Bluetooth but is notorious for not working with a lot of different devices.

I don't always check my watch and a pocket watch would probably be in a pocket and a call might go unnoticed. Also would it be usable with an iPhone? Other then that I've always wanted a pocket watch and this is right up my alley. Bluetooth or no I will by this if it is put into production as is :) Would the watch have another way of notifying you of a call (sound, vibrate?) other then just lighting up and saying call on it?
