This is one of those things you see and just hope it isn’t one of those nasty photoshop jobs. (Either way, if it is, RIM may patent the idea next week because, I for one, reckon it looks sweet)
Thanks Luis and BlackBerry OS (BlackBerry Bluetooth Headset & Bluetooth Watch coming soon from RIM)
“The Alpha 1 BlackBerry Bluetooth Headset uses the noise reduction technology; is in black chrome shell with BlackBerry logo and buttons.
The form of silicone liner Alpha 1 is an extremely convenient; it may be the best solution on the market” said by Boucher. It allows you to receive calls, listen to your favourite music and voice commands for navigation applications.
The BlackBerry Bluetooth Watch would support BlackBerry phone, and will give alerts when emails, BlackBerry Messenger messages, texts, Tweets and Facebook wallposts are received. It’ll also allow for wireless connection to transfer music and videos BlackBerry for stereo.”

Sweet, but I wouldn’t give up my Submariner for that.

More likely it’s a fake: Build quality seems low, functionality seems limited by the little screen and more than anything, looks awfully like this Chinese crap watch:

don’t look at the strap – look at the analog watch and small LCD. Looks almost the same.

Fake.
It’s the Fossil Bluetooth Watch . . with a photoshopped RIM logo on it.

It looks like the Sony Ericsson watch with a RIM logo on it.

It’s just like my SonyEricsson MBW-100 watch.
Would be nice if Fosil upgraded the firmware so my old watch can work with my BB bluetooth.

Sony Ericsson watch = Fossil Watch. It was a joint venture.

of course the image is fake: this is till in the pipeline and it hasn’t been designed yet.

I think the alpha 1 headset will be a version of the BlueAnt Q1 Headset – also has a microUSB connector to match up with the latest BlackBerry devices.
The watch will be very interesting.

The Sony Comment has been made… Lol! I just hope it hits Aus soon. I wanted the Sony one but they couldn’t guarantee it would work and I never got around to checking it out. Fingers crossed it hits around Christmas
