Casio Smart-watch with Bluetooth 4.0 can pair with Android Device

Casio Bluetooth 4.0 smartwatch plans are nearing fruition, with the first pairing of a low-power wireless watch and Android smartphone headed to Japan NTT DoCoMo in the next few days. The NEXT MEDIA PP N-01D offers the usual Japanese niceties, like a 4-inch WVGA AMOLED touchscreen, wireless charging, 8.1-megapixel camera, along with water and dust resilience, but can be paired with a special Casio MEDIAS PP-SHOCK GB-6900 watch. Hooked up via a frugal Bluetooth 4.0 connection, the watch shows incoming call and email information, as well as allowing you to reject incoming calls.

Finally, the watch time is automatically kept up to date via the smartphone connection. The system was initially demonstrated back at CES 2011 in January, taking advantage of Bluetooth 4.0 advances in reducing power consumption to maintain a persistent link without draining the battery.
