Stupid review

Mobile-review have posted a really good, long, in depth and excellent (as usual) review of Sony Ericsson's MBW-150 bluetooth watch. Like always, the review contains lots of pics and videos. It's worth checking out and here is the conclusion.

The MBW-150 retail price will make around 350-375 Euro (any flavor), the watch starts shipping in October. This price tag is quite hefty, especially since you buy a thing that is absolutely unknown in the world of timepieces. Should you look at the MBW-150 as an accessory for your handset, all pieces click into their places ? you pay for being able to possess a unique gadget, which can turn out to be handy after all. But it seems to me that the Music Edition will be the most attractive offering for workouts, fitness, also the guys fond of casual style will appreciate its design. I don?t like the ?Executive? version very much, and I don?t think a company leader will be eager to change his Rolex, which he had to pay a small fortune for, for a fanciful toy, the same goes to the model with a leather band.

Frankly speaking, I think the MBW-150 is the accessory that belongs to the ?just for the sake of it? category and stresses the company?s leading position in the field of Bluetooth accessories. So it won?t be vastly popular ? by no means, probably, Sony Ericsson fans eventually will make up their minds and lighten their wallets for this sum of money. And you shouldn?t wait for some cheaper variations in this very case ? the price tag is another amplifier to its status, together with the off-beat functionality and design. I suppose, it is quite possible to roll out a 150- or 200-Euro BT-watch, but I really doubt this is what the company has on its mind. The watch range will be freshened up only in a year?s time, so you can only guess what the update will bring along. I?ll take my shot and make a guess - the music department will become an even bigger focus, probably, they will embed on-screen Album Art support for the music edition, and pedometer will jump into the sporty edition?s feature pack.
