Fossil drops three more Bluetooth watches

by Paul Miller posted Sep 28th 2006 at 12:01PM

Sony Ericsson and Fossil didn't just get their hands dirty with a single power-user Bluetooth watch, it turns out they have 'em for the unwashed masses as well. On the left we have the Fossil Caller ID FX6001, while they other two answer to ABACUS MobileWear AU6001 and AU6002. Unfortunately, these watches look to be lacking any sort of music playback controls, and are still beholden to Sony Ericsson compatibility -- though it doesn't seem like it'd be too hard to hack up a phone from a different manufacturer for some Bluetooth watch fun. The good news is that these watches are headed straight for the States, on the cheap. The FX6001 will be available in late October for $250, while the AU6001 and AU6002 will be out in mid-October for $200, with some UK and Germany availability as well. Friends, these are good days to be in possession of a wrist.

Sweet! I just hope somebody figures out how to get these to work with a decent phone.

got this watch as a present and I tried it with the N91 but no luck! I tried it with several sony ericsson mobiles and it works only on a few of them. Theoretically it works with the following:

Sony Ericsson Bluetooth enabled mobile phones (K610, K610im, K618, K790, K800, W710, W850, Z610, Z710, P990, W950, and M600)

As for nokias, wait till they get the new software that supports S60.
If anyone has managed to get it working with the N91 please email me.
