Bluetooth Watch Connects to your Cell Phone

Designed in partnership with Fossil, the new Sony Ericsson MBW-100 Bluetooth watch will connect to your phone so that you can discretely send a call to voicemail, be notifed of incoming text messages and more. What’s even more suprising, is that the phone actually looks attractive.

The MBW-100 face uses an OLED display while the casing and band are composed of high quality stainless steel with a silver facia. But how does it work?

When a call comes in, and you may not be able to take it due to certain circumstances, you only need to simply press a key on the watch to send the caller to voice mail. You can also control music playback on your phone using controls on the watch. And in the event that the watch is out of range of your cell phone, it will alert you as well.

The MBW-100 will be available later this year for a retail price of $399. Tech specs are listed below:

The best free VPNs for 2026
The best free VPNs still come with compromises, but a few offer enough privacy and flexibility to be genuinely useful.
Proton VPN UI

A virtual private network (VPN) encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a server run by the VPN provider. Websites see the VPN server’s IP address instead of yours, and you can get around geo-blocks, censorship, and ISP throttling. The best VPN services are paid, but there are still a handful of free options that do the job well. 

Most free VPNs come with a hidden cost, because running servers isn’t cheap and a company that doesn’t charge you has to make its money somewhere else. Many do so by logging your browsing activity and selling it to advertisers, while others flood you with ads and track you across apps.
