The M300 Wrist Watch Phone Makes James Bond Jealous

Sure, a watch phone is always a good idea, though today it is quite hard to imagine anyone using it with so many multimedia items available on the market.

Anyway, this phone watch or watch phone offers you Bluetooth connectivity, which impedes people from interfering in your private conversations.

For those of you who are interested in purchasing such a device, you should know that you get a quad-band GSM/GPRS
timepiece that comes with a generous 60MB of internal memory, USB connectivity and an MP3 player. All of these, for a $305 price tag.

I wonder how useful a 1" OLED 65k color display can be, since we all know it's problematic in bright light conditions, making it quite difficult for the user to "read" and tell the time for any cute person who might ask about it.

Regarding the memory storage capacity, the watch features an internal 60 MB storage. Not very impressive! It can play all the music file formats available on the market, such as: MP3, BAAC, BWAV, BAMR, BMIDI, BIMY and more. The user has a mini phonebook integrated in the device and the ability to receive SMS, so no answers needed. It works perfectly with only 2 batteries and comes with an included USB cable.

Following the latest trend in the industry, the watch comes equipped with a nice built-in speaker and a microphone, which are quite useful if you think about recording your friend's memos on it. Or who knows, maybe you're an undercover agent involved in some police mission.

The watch was designed by SMS Developments in Australia and is claimed to be the "world's first truly mobile GSM watch", with the watch capable of delivering 70 hours standby time, 99 numbers memory storage and 40 integrated real tones.

Because of the sleek not-so-sophisticated design, I just think it looks kind of cheap. But that's just my opinion.

Anyway, apart from the annoying display, there is nothing wrong with this device. Maybe the $350 price tag? That's for you to decide!
