Oh yes, this is what iPod nano should have been, since everybody is carrying both your phone and the iPod nano to work out. And doom to the those kids that do not have a smartphone. > I love this idea. What a cool idea! It's a watch that controls the phone, since reaching the phone in your pocket is so hard! Maybe the next big idea is to have a ring-attached remote to control this watch which controls the phone in the pocket since it is so hard to reach the watch on your wrist. And don't get me started on the "find my phone" feature. It's bluetooth and its 20 feet range.

If you are a woman and you keep your phone in your purse this might be nice (of course, you'd have to make it a fashion accessory for it to catch on if that were the case.. the Sony Ericsson Android watch by Gucci). Or if you are driving and you have the phone in a pocket or the console. (I can't easily access a phone in my pocket if I'm seated). I hate rummaging my pockets while i'm in a meeting to figure out if that phone call is something important or someone who can leave a message (or standing up and rummaging, which is way worse). I keep more than just my phone in my pocket, wallet, keys, change, at a minimum the wallet and phone are similar enough in shape that I have to think about which is which. I am not a particularly orderly person, but I lose my phone in my (not terribly large) apartment quite regularly. I always know the general area I left it, but it is always under something or my eyes aren't noticing it. Perhaps if you have a cavernous mansion, the 10m range would make 'find my phone' not terribly useful, but for the rest of us it doesn't seem bad. That said, I don't have a smartphone mostly because $30/month for a data plan (in addition to the phone) seems kind of steep. But this seems cool. Chances are if I were working out I would keep the phone nearby and wear the watch. I see a lot of people on treadmills and stuff on their smartphones via Bluetooth (the lifters less so). If you were actually running outdoors it still might be OK. (Strap the watch to your wrist and the phone to your upper arm? I can't see my upper arm as well as my wrist). Then I can tweet stuff from my wrist 'lol i'm on a treadmill', 'now im getting some water'. Anyway, I think you may have not thought through how awesome this is.
