TAG Heuer to make watch phones?

Roughly 10 days ago, we reported TAG Heuer is working with Modelabs to design its own mobile phone. Now, we have some mockups suggesting the famous watch maker is working on a watch phone. Or that’s a Bluetooth-enabled watch?

Whatever the answer to that question is – we don’t like it. Somehow I can’t imagine TAG ruining its brand with such products. Their watches are known for reliability, and both Bluetooth and cell phone radios would kill the battery of such watch pretty quickly, hence making us change our minds about TAG products. Nah, this is just some designer’s mockup. I hope…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    Maybe the watch will have two batteries, one for the watch and a rechargeable one for the Bluetooth. A colleague in the office has the Sony Ericsson Bluetooth watch, and the performance is none too shabby.
