Fossil and Sony Ericsson have partnered to develop Bluetooth-enabled watches, several of which have been unveiled. Three Fossil watches — the FX6001 boasting the Fossil brand and the AU6001 and AU6002 under the Abacus moniker — can connect with your Sony Ericsson cell phone to provide caller ID and alert you to voice and text messages via the small LCD at the bottom of the watch face. The watch also lets you mute or reject the call without having to access your phone directly.
A fourth watch, the MBW-100, carries the Sony Ericsson brand and features the same functions, plus the ability to control the music player on several Sony Ericsson phones.
The FX6001 will sell for $250 starting in late October, while the AU6001 and AU6002 will be available in mid-October for $200. The MBW-100 should be out later this year and will go for $399.
