Bluetooth headset is selling point for MP3 watch

MP3 watches are slowly being introduced by U.S. companies, but for the most part they're still largely an overseas phenomenon (and, in some cases, that's not a bad thing). So it makes sense that some manufacturers and distributors are trying to come up with new ways to market them.

The oddly named Goldlantern Bluex watch aims to do just that, according to GadgetGrid, by coming bundled with Bluetooth headphones for a package of products that actually look decent. The water- and shock-resistant watch has 1GB of built-in storage, a USB port, rechargeable lithium ion battery, and aluminum alloy case. And if the watch turns out to be junk, you can still use the headset with your phone.

I wonder about the watch
by dredgerie February 29, 2008 5:43 AM PST: It says that the headphones last an average of 12 hours, and they are
rechargeable... What about the watch itself? There's no specifics on it's power
supply, and if its broadcasting over bluetooth, I doubt it runs on the same 10
year coin battery as my timex...; Reply to this comment
