What’s one of the first cool gadgets you remember seeing and then thinking to yourself, “Oh that would be so cool if it were real!”. For me it was probably the Dick Tracy communicator watch. Not sure why, the logic of it isn’t too outstanding, but at the time I saw it, it seemed so out there, but so useful, it was a perfect match.
There’s this watch you can use that looks pretty close to Dick Tracy’s, but I’m not really looking for a watch I can talk to at this point. It’s just a couple of features I’d like to integrate into my watch from my phone that I’m interested in instead. Bluetooth seems to be the logical connection link, but I’m not picky.
What I’m interested in is a watch that connects to my cellphone via Bluetooth that will silently notify me of a phone call without my phone vibrating or ringing. Either a tiny kinetic probe on the underside that would gently poke me when I receive a call, or maybe even a slight electric shock.
Maybe I’m just sick and tired of hearing cellphone go off around me, even my own, but these days I completely silence my phone most of the day now. I just set it in front of me so I can tell when it goes off when it lights up.
Now that I think about it, it would also be nice to have a little CallerID display on the face of the watch too. Maybe the face of the watch could display the face of the caller in my address book.
