Not only would the GSM F88 Watch allow Dick Tracy to contact police headquarters, he would also be able to watch movies and start a video conference on it’s 26K colors CSTN display and 3-megapixel 180-degree rotating camera.
The F88 boasts a built-in microphone, speakerphone, voice dialing, 4 minutes of voice recording, IrDA connectivity and organization tools such as schedule, alarm clock and reminder note.The keypad number is located on the strap.
The GSM F88 Watch was custom made in China for one of China’s most famous Ping Pong players and runs $1,100 (US). The little boy in me wants this so bad!

yeah.. it’s too bulky… if they slimmed it down somehow to a screen on the digital looking watch then they got a Dick Tracy watch. I can’t wait for the day for that. But for now.. this is too bulky.

Robustness is the big issue here. It’s damn bigger than my G-SHOCK watch. What the heck is going on? It’s totally ugly to look at plus a watch is a watch and a cellphone is a cellphone. A watch and a cellphone are two different and distinct entities. One should never fuse with the other, that’s the definite rule here.

You guys totally miss the point. If you’re wearing a suit
(and if you don’t have a suit let’s just pretend your life isn’t in shambles and you do XD) you could stand around talking into your cuff.
Briefly whisper a name into your cuff, stand around waiting for a few seconds and then lift your cuff up and have your conversation. Now all they need to make is a single tiny bluetooth headphone to put in your ear. If I could read Chinese and trusted Chinese websites to ship to England I would definitely fork over the money for this. -
