Fossil and Sony Ericsson is launching a  new Caller ID Blue-tooth watch by the end of October. The watch is compatible with Sony Ericsson phones and Nokia Symbian series 60 phones. The watch can vibrate on the phone receiving an incoming call and also displays caller ID information on a small OLED display.

It also allows you to mute or reject the incoming call. It can also inform you about incoming SMS messages.

• Analog timekeeping.
• OLED displays caller ID information and text message icon.
• Bluetooth 2.0 compatible.
• Vibrating alert.
• Rechargeable battery (USB or AC).
• Stainless steel.
• Water-resistant to 30 meters, or 100 feet.
• Mineral glass crystal.
• 5 – 7 day battery life with power saving function

Fossil and Sony Ericsson have come up with an interesting combination technology. The one thing that would matter on such a device is the battery life, but this device has 5-7 days backup.  Charge the phone and the watch and one is ready to go. Keeping an active Bluetooth connection between your watch and your phone will reduce your phone’s battery life, but as long as a phone can make it through an entire day of active use, that’s good enough.

Fossil has learned the hard way that technology which doesn’t come in a pretty package is technology that won’t last (Abacus Wrist PDA and Abacus Wrist Net series). Fossil Caller ID Blue-tooth watch is a relatively handsome and unassuming timepiece.

This is not a true Blue-tooth watch because the watch itself actually isn’t integrated with the Bluetooth functionality. Its a device that combines a watch and a blue-tooth device and not one that integrates both. If they were integrated, the watch could be set with the phone’s internal time which is got from their networks which is usually time from a time server which is from an atomic clock, thus giving you atomic clock precision time on your watch.

The Fossil Caller ID Bluetooth watch will be available at the end of October, and will sell for $249.
