    seems a little pointless to be honest with you. It's just an extension of your phone. Is it really that much hassle to take your phone out of your pocket?

    I'm on the phone a lot, maybe a few hours a day, the idea of not taking a phone in and out of my pocket really appeals to me. It looks very big though.

    It looks very pricey!

    I cannot find any info on battery life or how it affects battery life of your phone which would be my concern.

    Have you considered the shortly to be released Pebble Watch $150, has an e-ink display and low power bluetooth 4.0 support, and looks a lot slimmer too.

    Never heard of that before now, but i want one though 300 Euro , you could buy a lot of things with that

    As for battery life , with a screen like that it'll be a wonder if it lasted more than two days.

    I've an MBW-150 and its actually quite useful if like me your phone is on silent most of the time, I don't really use it anymore tho!

    I have a LiveView too but that didn't get any use because of ics incompatibilities

    At €300 it's more like I'm skint rather than I'm watch :)

    Glad you spotted it, think it'll do what I want, just ordered one for €99 delivered.

    This code "467hfm6h" will get someone €50 off an i'm watch but I think it'll expire in about 30 minutes if someone wants to get one. It'll set you back €250.

    the pebble watch looks the best of those here imo... my guess is it works off the phone rather than itself though.. gps built in? doubtful...
    well its the only one that gives a lot of info.. and 7+ days battery life too is great.
    still have too many other things i want before this. very handy though.. how long until you can just plug a sim card into a watch and it does it all eh.. (patents idea)
