Chronotech is getting ready to unveil a watch that also functions as a communication device. Bluevoice, the first telephone watch based on Bluetooth wireless technology is expected to be publicly announced on November 8, 2006 when it is unveiled at the Consumer Electronic Shows' Press Conference in New York and then showcased at the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show.
The marketing campaign behind the Bluevoice portrays the product as an alternative to the "cyborg look" of many Bluetooth headsets. With Bluevoice, you get a functional watch that transforms into a Bluetooth headset when a phone call comes in. The device is worn as a wristwatch, but when you receive a phone call, you can detach the hands free unit and use it as a Bluetooth headset. When the call ends, the hands free unit reattaches to the strap. The Bluevoice doesn’t have to be worn as a Bluetooth headset at all times.
This does seem like a cool, innovative device. However, what are people going to say when they see you wearing a watch interface on your ear, even if it’s only for a few minutes?
The Bluevoice is available in 2 models, analog and digital. The analog version ($127.95) is available in 6 colors: black, black/white, gray, navy, green sparkle and white sparkle. The digital version ($119.95) has a chronograph timer and alarm and is available in 5 colors: black, navy, gray, blue and pink.
