Fossil's Bluetooth watches give the ladies phone control

Here's a scenario for you: Imagine being at school or in an important meeting and your phone rings. You suddenly remember you forgot to put the phone on vibrate before you went in, and now everyone in the room is staring at you while you frantically search inside your bottomless purse for a loud ringing cell phone. Sounds familiar? I can't count the times this has happened to me, so I was glad to hear someone out there finally came up with a clever solution.

Sony Ericsson and Fossil teamed up to developed the MBW-200, a Bluetooth watch collection with caller ID, and alert system that buzzes you every time you receive a text message or a call. The stylish waterproof watch features a clear monochrome OLED display on its face, and has extra buttons on the side so you can reject, mute, or answer a call. Apparently, you can even use the watch as a remote control to shuffle through the music on your phone.

Three conservative designs called Sparkling Allure, Contemporary Elegance and Evening Classic will be arriving sometime before the end of fourth quarter. Pricing hasn't been disclosed, so I'm hoping these beauties will at least be affordable because I for one plan on getting one.
