According to this press release (translated), Seiko Instruments has developed a very interesting Bluetooth watch prototype. With the addition of software installed on your Bluetooth-enabled phone, the watch can do all of the following: Alert you with a sound or by vibrating when someone calls.

If you're a Seiko fan, then you've probably heard of the Seiko Orange Monster. It's a must-have for all Seiko collectors.

In contrast, the atomic Casios I have only work in Japa..
