LG Wristwatch Phone: Would you buy one?

This feels more like a toy then an actual device... then again, with bluetooth headsets like JawBone getting to the level of perfect maybe it's not a bad idea?

I used a Motorola Pager watch for years. It was very nice to have, as an additional communications option. I think this would fit the same need, an additional device, not a primary. Yes a bluetooth headset makes it more compelling, but battery is still the limiting factor right now.

I wouldn't buy one mainly cause it looks like a real pain to use, it'd take forever to type a text message with that thing and your arm would get tired from holding it up the whole time, you'd have to lean on a table or something.

Maybe when voice recognition gets better it will make these type of devices more appealing, then you could just dictate a text.

Then again things seem to be going the other way, people are abandoning watches and just using their phone to tell the time, I don't wear a watch and neither do most of my friends.

Not me. I currently don't wear a watch, and I don't care for teeny tiny screens let alone keypads.

I would totally buy one because I was a huge Dick Tracy fan and this would let live out my childhood fantasies of communicating via watch.

Of course, I'd have to buy a yellow trenchcoat and hat as well..

One of the greatest things about watches going out is the fact that I HATE wearing them. It never fails I'm diggin around inside a computer, and it gets snagged. Or worse yet, working on a car and your sitting there wiggling trying to get your arm free because your watch has snagged on a bunch of wires. I may however consider it should it be slimmed down some...the convenience then would be a decent tradeoff...

Do you know how uncomfortable it'd be to talk on that thing? Unless you had a blue tooth headset, you'd have to hold your wrist to your ear. And how do you text on it? I don't even see a keypad of any sort.

So, no is the answer to your question.
