The LG Watch Phone – Would you wear one?

I’ve seen a lot of watch-mobile-phones over the last couple of months, but most of them look tacky. Another factor that keeps me from trying one of these “Dick Tracy” watches is the issue of radiation – we’re told that holding a mobile phone to your head for too long everyday may lead to some form of cancer; what happens when you have a cell phone attached to your wrist almost 24×7?

Regardless if you get cancer or not, the new LG Watch Phone, which was featured at CES 2009, looks incredibly cool. Sleek form factor, clear sounding speakers, capacitive touch are just some of the features that make this watch phone stand out from the rest.

Europeans will be the first to show off LG Watch Phones later this year. LG has not released any official dates for when they will be available to the rest of the world.

I don’t like wearing bluetooth headsets. So, my only alternative with this watch phone would be the speakerphone–not going to happen with me.

Yeah speakers may not be practical in busy or noisy environments.

I think its very gimmicky. he was pressing buttons in the vid, but nothing was changing on the display…how well is it going to work??

I suppose it would be worth trying out on the premise that it works properly. I suppose it has its own niche in the market, probably those people who always works with their hands and dont have pockets (OK I cant think of a good scenario where a watchphone is beneficial) but then again, the best technologies are the technologies we dont see that they blend iin seamlessly into our lives… like a watch. So I think it deserves a chance.

The best place to put a phone device is to embed it into the skin. I believe this is how it eventually end up.
