Citizen To Debut Watch With E-Mail Alerts

Citizen Watch Co. will release in late November a wristwatch that notifies users when their mobile phone receives an e-mail. Nikkei.net reports.

"The new watch will vibrate and show a designated icon when the user's mobile phone receives incoming e-mails, and then demonstrate up to 70 characters of the e-mail's subject and text. It will come with a color LCD monitor.

The gadget will also feature a remote control function that presses the shutter button of the user's camera phone and turns off the phone's alarm.

Only works though with three new Softbank handsets that use the Bluetooth short-range wireless connectivity standard."
