Sony Ericsson's new MBW-150 Bluetooth watch rocks AVRCP

by Evan Blass posted Jun 14th 2007 at 12:46PM

Bluetooth wristwatches are all the rage lately -- or at least Sony Ericsson hopes so, because it has a vested interest in most of them -- and just like we suspected, the JV has announced its latest model, the MBW-150, complete with AVRCP support for wireless control of your music phone. This followup to the MBW-100 comes in three styles (Classic, Music, and Executive, pictured left to right) that all perform the standard caller ID / SMS notification thing, while tossing in the highly-desirable ability to change tracks and adjust volume as well as view track info on the face. No pricing or release details were immediately released, so we'll keep ya updated.

Per the SE website via the press release section, it looks like we are out of "luck".

Infosyncworld reports they will be $399 and ship in 4th quarter. Pretty expensive for a watch that only works with a subset of 1 company's handsets. :-(

If they would push the price down to about 200$ I would be all over on of these but at more money than the phone's themselves... No thanks.

Just ordered the 'old' model, but for a whole lot less than $400. Bummer on the extra features though.
