Citizen has given its VIRT W700 Bluetooth watch a face lift.  The earlier version of the Bluetooth watch reminded me of a new state-of-the-art device that would replace the electric chair.

The new version has a milder style, but to me it looks like a new invention for a pulse monitor, or maybe a timepiece made for the younger generation.  Instead of the stark black, mechanical stiffness the old version reflected, this new version is daubed in a milder black.  But, the soft colors (available in blue, pink or white) around the frame of the display break up the dark dreariness. With all of that said, the purpose of this timepiece is baffling.  Why would anyone want a Bluetooth device that connects to your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone; and it’s only functions are to display the number calling and vibrate when your cell phone rings?  Grabbing your phone out of your pocket or clip, checking the display, and saying “hello” seems simple enough.
