overview

THE GOOD
The Fossil Abacus Mobilewear Caller ID Wristwatch lets you know when there are incoming calls and text messages and displays caller ID on a tiny OLED display. You can also use it to mute and reject calls. It's water-resistant.

THE BAD
The Fossil Abacus Mobilewear Caller ID Wristwatch only works with Bluetooth-enabled Sony Ericsson phones and Series 60 phones with Symbian OS 7 or later. The watch is also pretty large and clunky. You still need to use a headset or pick up the phone to answer the call.

THE BOTTOM LINE
The Fossil Abacus Mobilewear Caller ID Wristwatch has a cool factor that is reminiscent of a James Bond movie, but that's not enough to win our accolades. Its large size and limited compatibility with cell phones makes this more of a novelty gadget than a must-have.

    Be warned - it's ugly and chunky. Half-an-inch thick and 167g.

    This is a cheaper alternative to Sony Erics...  read more »

    Dont have this product; just the more expensive version&

    The MBW-100 watch doesn't work with my Nokia 6133, Motorola V330 or Samsung SGH-D807 (all of which are Bluetooth enabled). According to the Sony Ericsson website it only lists Sony Er...  read more »
