Hyundai W-100 Wristwatch Phone

hyndaiw-100.jpg

Phones in watches have been a long time coming, but they’ve so far been hampered by surprisingly clunky design. Turns out it’s difficult to cram a decent battery and controls into something that won’t carry you to the bottom of the sea when your hoverjet is shot down over the Mediterranean. The Hyundai W-100 may not be the one yet, but it’s a step in the right direction.

It actually has more features than are probably necessary, with a touch-screen interface and camera. (The Bluetooth, which allows headsets to be used, is probably a necessity for something like this.) I don’t understand why there’s any need at all for smartphone-class features in something with this form factor. Give me Bluetooth, a dial pad, a simple contacts list, and a decent battery, the lighter and tighter the better.

    ChinaGrabber had this Digitalrise M600i watch ages ago… Hyundai does NOT make this watch. How could you explain a Korean company having a product with only Chinese and English? Anyways, here are the full specs… http://www.chinagrabber.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1402

    also, this watch is only dual band… only the DigitalRise D187i is tri-band and will work in the USA.. Here is the Link: http://www.chinagrabber.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1404
