14 DAY TRIAL // It might look like a toy at first, but it's as real and evolved as possible. Cect brings a mobile phone watch in an interesting form, although the concept in neither new nor highly popular.
Mobile phones have been considerably reduced in size over the past few years, making them as small that we can even compare them to... wrist watches. The idea might sound innovative, although it has been used before too in the case of other such products.
Cect's version comes with an LCD screen, which proves to be quite large for a watch. The device is capable of working in GSM network and has full mobile phone capabilities. It comes with three buttons at each side, meant for answering incoming calls and browsing through the menu.
The product comes with Bluetooth capabilities, but can also be used in the old-fashioned way, with the help of a microphone and speaker. Even more evolved performances are included in the watch, as it also features a media player and headset jack to connect to the headsets too.
Producers have released some images of the device over the Internet, but without any detailed specifications. All these sound great, although actually owning such a product is unlikely to live up to the expectations of its owner. The large display screen that it comes packed with also means that the mobile phone watch will have an uncomfortably large size and will look rather bulky on the user's hand.
Sony Ericsson has launched in the past some similar devices, although with more evolved design features and a classier look. The same concept has been applied to similar products in time, although none has proved to be a big hit. The Chinese Cect model, although bulkier and with less evolved performances, should prove to be more affordable. No details on its price and markets where it will be available have been revealed until now.
